Dermaplaning | Deep Exfoliation

The Whole Beauty Institute® offers a quick and noninvasive exfoliating treatment that removes inactive or dead skin cells. The treatment is known as dermaplaning. This helps new cells regenerate and come to the surface and removes the vellus hairs that create debris and oil, which can clog pores. It is a safe and simple procedure that is done in a comfortable and relaxing environment.

DermaPlaning

DermaPlaning uses a special blade that is held at a 45 degree angle to the surface of the skin. The Whole Beauty® Institute clinician gently moves the blade along the contour of the face to exfoliate the skin. Depending on the severity, depth and sensitivity of the skin, appointments range from 15 to 60 minutes. The deeper the lines, and more severe the build-up on the skin, the more time is needed for an appropriate treatment.
