All About Dermaplaning

By Maren Stratte and Elizabeth G Stratte, MD

What is Dermaplaning? 

Dermaplaning is an effective and safe exfoliation procedure.  It uses a sterile surgical scalpel to shave the surface of the skin to remove excess dead skin and peach fuzz hairs. The tool is held at a 45 degree angle and is brushed along the skin to remove the hair and skin cells.  It is generally a stand alone procedure, but it does create deeper product penetration boosting the products effects.  The procedure makes skin look and feel smoother and will reduces the appearance of acne scars.
