What is dermaplaning and is it safe?
Dermaplaning is a no-downtime exfoliation that uses a sterile surgical blade to remove dead skin and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). It's safe for most skin types when done by a licensed esthetician.
Dermaplaning physically exfoliates the top layer of dead skin while removing peach fuzz, leaving skin smoother and makeup-ready.
