Dermaplaning is a precise, physician-directed exfoliation treatment designed to refine skin texture, enhance radiance, and create an exceptionally smooth surface. Using a sterile, medical-grade blade, the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair is carefully removed, revealing brighter skin beneath.
At Skinfocused, dermaplaning is performed with intention and restraint—never aggressively—so results are polished and natural, not over-treated.
How Dermaplaning Works
Dermaplaning mechanically exfoliates the skin by removing surface debris and dead cells that can dull the complexion and interfere with product absorption. By clearing this superficial layer, dermaplaning enhances light reflection, improves the feel and appearance of the skin, and allows active skincare ingredients to penetrate more effectively.
The treatment does not affect hair follicles or alter hair growth.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Improvement of dull skin and enhancement of your natural glow
No downtime
Non-invasive
Boosts the absorption of post-procedure actives
Removal of accumulated surface dead skin
Fine facial hair that traps oil and debris
