Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape the surface of the skin, primarily the face, to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, often referred to as "peach fuzz." This process aims to exfoliate the skin, leaving it smoother and brighter.

 

While dermaplaning is commonly performed in spas and skincare clinics, it is not a medical procedure and does not involve the use of chemicals or abrasive particles. Dermaplaning effectively removes fine facial hair, also known as vellus hair or peach fuzz. The removal of this hair can give the skin a smoother appearance and allow makeup to be applied more evenly.
