What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair (peach fuzz) using a sterile surgical scalpel. This procedure leaves the skin smoother, brighter, and more receptive to skincare products. At Soleil Medical Spa PDX, we offer professional dermaplaning in Portland, OR, performed by licensed estheticians for safe, effective results.
How Does Dermaplaning Work?
During a dermaplaning session:
-
The skin is cleansed to remove impurities.
-
A trained specialist gently glides a scalpel at a 45-degree angle across the skin’s surface.
-
Dead skin cells and vellus hair are removed, revealing fresh, radiant skin.
-
A soothing serum or moisturizer is applied to hydrate the skin post-treatment.
