DERMAPLANING

Dermaplaning is a popular exfoliation treatment that helps reveal smooth and radiant skin by gently removing dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. At Erin Aesthetics, we offer professional dermaplaning services performed by an experienced dermal therapist, using safe and effective techniques to give you a fresh and glowing complexion. Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate away the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair. The treatment helps to exfoliate the skin, improving its texture, tone, and overall appearance. It leaves your skin feeling incredibly smooth, soft, and ready to better absorb skincare products.

BENEFITS

Enhanced Skin Texture: By removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning reveals smoother and more refined skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.
Increased Product Absorption: With the removal of the barrier created by dead skin cells and facial hair, your skincare products can penetrate more deeply, maximizing their effectiveness.
Brightened Complexion: Dermaplaning removes dull and lifeless skin cells, instantly revealing a brighter and more radiant complexion.
Improved Makeup Application: After dermaplaning, makeup glides on effortlessly, resulting in a flawless and airbrushed finish.
Reduction of Facial Hair: The treatment removes vellus hair, often referred to as "peach fuzz," leaving the skin incredibly smooth to the touch.
Safe and Painless: Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation technique that does not involve the use of chemicals or harsh ingredients. It is suitable for most skin types and causes minimal discomfort.
