What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses a surgical scalpel to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair, also known as peach fuzz, from the skin's surface. This innovative procedure is performed by skilled skincare professionals and is designed to reveal smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning in Nashville?

The benefits of dermaplaning extend beyond just exfoliation, offering a wide range of advantages for your skin:

  • Smoother, softer skin: Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and vellus hair, leaving your skin feeling incredibly soft and smooth to the touch
  • Enhanced product absorption: By removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning allows skincare products to penetrate more deeply into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness
  • Brighter, more radiant complexion: Dermaplaning promotes cellular turnover, revealing fresh, new skin cells that are brighter and more luminous
  • Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: The stimulation of collagen production during dermaplaning can help to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time
  • Improved makeup application: With vellus hair and dead skin cells removed, makeup glides on more smoothly and evenly, resulting in a flawless finish

Dermaplaning Procedure

During dermaplaning in Nashville with our team, a sterile surgical scalpel is used to gently scrape away dead skin cells and vellus hair from the surface of the skin. This precise exfoliation technique promotes cellular turnover and stimulates collagen production, resulting in a smoother, more even complexion. Unlike traditional exfoliation methods, such as microdermabrasion or chemical peels, dermaplaning does not use abrasive particles or harsh chemicals, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. The procedure is painless and typically takes less than 30 minutes to complete, making it an ideal option for individuals with busy lifestyles.
