Our skin is a constantly evolving thing, with each of its skin cells replacing themselves every few weeks. As the new cells grow, the old ones die and are shed from the surface of the skin. In reality, this does not always happen, and the dead cells can linger on the skin for much longer than they are supposed to. This can leave the skin looking dull as the new cells cannot shine through, and the dead cells can make the skin look uneven or possibly flaky.
The dermaplaning treatment is a skin treatment designed to help with this process. It uses a small, delicate blade, similar in appearance to a scalpel, which is held at a 45-degree angle.1 As the skin is held taut, the blade is gently moved down the face in small, short strokes. This helps to remove the dead skin cells, downy hair and any other debris that might be sitting on your skin. The treatment is followed by a moisturiser or serum to help boost the natural glow that you should now be experiencing. This is because the skin is now clear, and those new skin cells are on full display.
