Dermaplaning Cypress
This is a procedure that resurfaces the skin by removing the thin, outermost layer of skin which is made up of dead epidermal skin cells revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. Dermaplaning resurfacing treatment utilizes a specialized surgical blade to gently scrape away the very top layer of skin. This treatment is wonderful for exfoliating the skin, reducing skin pigmentation, pore size, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles. Dermaplane facials also help to remove fine villus hair (peach fuzz). Removing the dead skin cells and fine villus hair prepares the skin for other aesthetic procedures such as laser treatments, microneedling or chemical peels. Dermaplane facials allow for better penetration of your own personal skin care regimen and create a flawless canvas for make up application. Your skin will look and feel smoother after a dermaplaning treatment.

No. Dermaplaning does not interfere with the follicular structure of hair, thus having no effect on hair growth whatsoever. Unlike terminal hair (think eyebrows), vellus hair has no appearance of a blunt end when shaved. This is often where the “thicker” looking aspect of hair growth comes from the blunt end created by slicing the follicle.
Dermaplaning should be received once every 4 weeks to achieve optimum anti-aging benefits.
