Dermaplaning
In Northern VADermaplaning is a very effective physical exfoliation used in the medical field that not only removes the top layers of dead skin cells but unwanted fuzzy facial hair, or vellus hair, as well. This leaves the skin looking bright, smooth and glowing. Skin care products can penetrate the skin much deeper, resulting in better absorption and higher results. Dermaplaning is a painless procedure and can be compared to the sensation of shaving your legs, but in this case, it’s on your face.
