Dermaplaning.
Dermaplaning is a technique that is safely performed using a surgical instrument and a blade specifically for dermaplaning. The skin is prepped and held taut, then the technician holds the blade at a 45 degree angle and gently scraped the skin. This removes the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair.
