Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning treatment is a method of skin rejuvenation that works to deeply yet gently exfoliate the skin to remove surface debris and fine hairs. It can also assist in increasing absorption of topical products, leaving skin looking radiant with a more even complexion. The treatment is carried out by a trained professional who uses a scalpel blade to gently shave the surface of the skin, resulting in skin that’s completely smooth and free of fine hairs (also known as peach fuzz).
You might be worried that shaving peach fuzz will cause it to grow back coarser and darker, but this isn’t the case. Any hairs that are removed will grow back at the same rate and with the same thickness as before.
Dermaplaning treatment is ideal for blonde facial hair that isn’t suitable for laser hair removal, as well as sensitive skin. It can also be beneficial for those looking for a way to smoothen the skin without the use of dermal fillers in Melbourne, allowing for smoother application of makeup. Because the treatment doesn’t use chemicals, it’s an excellent option for pregnant or nursing women.
