Dermaplaning in Seattle
Dermaplaning gently removes dead skin cells and the fine peach fuzz (vellus hair) that can make skin look dull. Clearing away that buildup helps decongest pores and reveals the fresher skin underneath, so your skin looks smoother and brighter the same day, with no downtime.
Dermaplaning can help with:
Dull or rough texture
Peach fuzz that catches makeup
Makeup that looks cakey or won’t sit smoothly
Softening the look of fine lines
Clogged pores and blackheads
Getting your skin ready for an event or photos
