Dermaplaning in Rochester
Dermaplaning is a painless, highly effective cosmetic procedure for your skin. Our providers use a scalpel to scrap away the uppermost layers of your skin. Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, dull skin and other skin imperfections by revealing smoother, newer, firmer, undamaged healthier skin.
Dermaplaning is a procedure that exfoliates the skin and removes that dead layer of skin and vellus hair, better known as “peach fuzz.” This treatment helps new skin to come to the surface, resulting in ultra-smooth, fresh, and brighter skin.
This procedure is recommended before most face treatments to help serums penetrate deeper into the skin. It’s like a turbo-charged exfoliator. Resulting in better outcomes.
