What is dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a treatment that instantly and visibly removes fine hair and layers of dead skin cells which helps reveal skin's glow. The process uses a small dermaplaning razor and has traditionally been achieved by a dermatologist or esthetician. We’re proud to introduce a complete dermaplaning routine that you can use at home, making it easy and affordable. The blade with Skin Defense Guard helps protect your skin from shave irritation, thanks to the rounded protective tip and guard around the blade.
