Question 1

HOW IT WORKS

Accepted Answer

Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical scalpel held at a precise 45-degree angle to gently glide across the skin's surface, physically removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair — commonly known as peach fuzz — in a single, controlled motion. The technique requires a skilled and steady hand, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and highly effective treatment with every session.As the scalpel sweeps across the skin, it simultaneously exfoliates and resurfaces — lifting away the dull, dead layer of skin that can contribute to uneven texture, clogged pores, and a lackluster complexion. The removal of peach fuzz further enhances the skin's smoothness and clarity, eliminating the fine facial hair that can trap oil, dirt, and skincare product residue on the skin's surface.With the outermost layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair removed, the skin is left ultra-smooth, luminously bright, and perfectly primed to absorb skincare products more effectively than ever — amplifying the results of any serums or treatments applied immediately after and creating a flawless, poreless base for seamless makeup application.
