Essential Treatment Information
Dermaplane involves the controlled use of a sterile 10-gauge surgical blade to gently remove the outer layer of dead skin cells and fine hair. The blade is held at a 45-degree angle and moved across the skin in short, precise strokes. This process promotes healthy skin turnover and reveals a softer, more radiant complexion. The procedure takes approximately 20–30 minutes and includes a pre-treatment cleanse and post-treatment soothing serum.

additional Information
Dermaplane can be scheduled every 4–6 weeks to align with your skin’s natural renewal cycle. Your practitioner will recommend a treatment frequency that supports your skin goals.
This treatment is not suitable during active acne, rosacea flare-ups, or if you have open wounds in the treatment area. It may also be inappropriate for individuals with severe eczema, psoriasis, or a history of keloid scarring. A consultation ensures your safety.
The procedure is non-invasive and generally pain-free. Most clients describe the sensation as a light scraping and find the treatment relaxing.
