Epidermal Levelling (or Dermaplaning) is smoothing method of exfoliation used by Skin Specialists to help remove “peach fuzz” and dead skin alike. Gentle, sterile and professional, this is a popular option among those with sensitive skin unsuitable for Microdermabrasion, or anyone else seeking an instantaneous healthy glow that want to rid themselves of fine facial hair.

Utterly painless and not half as scary as the method might suggest, Epidermal Levelling is a gentle and professional method of fine hair removal that employs feather-light strokes of a surgical-grade scalpel to cleanse the epidermis. Exfoliating gradually to better reveal a radiant complexion, precise scraping of a blade removes both unwanted facial hair and cleanses clogged follicles.

Some worry that Dermaplaning might hurt but that’s not the case at all, as most clients find the calm, repetitive motion as soothing as they do pain free.

And we know it’s the question in the back of everyone’s mind...will my peach fuzz grow back thicker?... absolutely not! Epidermal Levelling does not affect the hair follicle so it does not affect how your hair regrows.
