Focus on Dermaplaning – Learning about Epidermal Leveling

Epidermal Leveling is a fairly recent innovation in spa treatments and is a safe and effective exfoliation that is suitable for both men and women of all skin tones. It is also known as dermaplaning and is a  technique that utilizes a specially designed surgical instrument used to carefully remove  top most layers of the skin and  resulting in a beautiful, refinished look. Epidermal leveling is a technique that gives the skin a smoother appearance through removal of  dead skin cells as well as  the fine vellous facial hair or peach fuzz which  can trap excessive dirt and oil  leaving the complexion looking dull. Fortunately it also stimulates and rejuvenates skin tissue and makes it an effective method for reduction of  acne scarring, fine line wrinkles and uneven pigmentation.

A healthy and glowing complexion can be  quickly and easily attained through this safe, unique treatment.
