DERMAPLANING (75min)

Dermaplaning, also referred to as “blading”, "epi-leveling" or “epic-blading”, is a highly effective and safe manual exfoliation procedure performed by a qualified skin therapist. Using a medical-grade sterile blade to gently glide over the surface of the skin and effectively removing the keratinised epidermal skin cells that are ready to be removed and have accumulated over time and fine, vellus hair.

 

By removing the keratinised cells, active ingredients in skincare can better penetrate deeper into the skin layers, resulting in healthier skin. This treatment also stimulates the production of new skin cells by aiding in cell turnover.
