Dermaplaning – In Accordance with AS/NZS 4173:2018.
Safe use of lasers and intense light sources in health care.
Dermaplaning is a physical skin exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin and vellus facial hair (peach fuzz). It leaves the skin feeling smooth and aids absorption of topical nutrients. It can also be supported with additional treatment protocols.
Administered by correctly trained therapists lightly stroking a sterile blade along the surface of the skin, the treatment is completely safe and pain-free.
Exfoliating the skin stimulates circulation and increases blood flow to the epidermal layers of the skin. The epidermis does not contain blood vessels and receives nutrients through diffusion. By stimulating blood flow, dermaplaning allows essential nutrients to be better delivered to the epidermis and therefore supports anti-aging and radiant skin.
