Dermaplaning is a popular skin treatment that involves the use of a surgical-grade scalpel to exfoliate the skin’s surface and remove fine hair, also known as “peach fuzz.” This non-invasive procedure is an effective way to rejuvenate the skin and improve its overall texture, tone, and appearance.
The science behind Dermaplaning is rooted in the principles of physical exfoliation and cellular biology. The procedure employs a surgical-grade scalpel to gently scrape the outermost layer of dead skin cells off of the epidermis. This action not only removes dead skin but also triggers the body’s natural healing process, which includes the production of new skin cells, collagen, and elastin. The removal of fine vellus hair, or “peach fuzz,” further enhances the skin’s ability to absorb skincare products, making it more receptive to nutrients. The technique is precise and controlled, ensuring that only the superficial layers of the skin are targeted, thereby minimizing the risk of deeper skin damage.

Lumecca IPL is a photodynamic therapy where the light energy targets the acne-causing bacteria, specifically Propionibacterium acnes. The light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by porphyrins produced by these bacteria, leading to their destruction.
The light energy also has anti-inflammatory properties, reducing the redness and swelling commonly associated with acne breakouts. This helps in faster healing and less scarring.
Lumecca IPL helps in regulating sebum (oil) production in the skin. Excess sebum is one of the leading causes of acne, and by controlling its production, the treatment helps reduce future breakouts.
The light energy helps in tightening the pores, which not only makes them less visible but also less prone to trapping oils and bacteria, further preventing acne.

Dermaplaning is a manual, non-invasive skin-exfoliating procedure with the added benefit of removing peach fuzz from the face. A sterile surgical blade is used to smooth and refine the epidermis through very fine, strategic, and controlled scraping.
After deep skin cleansing, your aesthetician will hold an area of your skin taut while using short, swift strokes to scrape off dead cells and unwanted vellus hair. This is repeated over the entire face to reveal a smoother and brighter complexion.
Dermaplaning leaves your skin looking naturally radiant while helping to even skin tone and create a smooth texture. All your peach fuzz will be gone. You notice your skin has never felt this soft in years.
Dermaplaning is a painless procedure that has been compared to shaving. There are minimal to no side effects and zero downtime. After the treatment, your skin will be highly sensitive to the sun and may look pink, almost like a sunburn. We recommend avoiding direct sunlight and wearing SPF daily.
