Is There Any Down-time With Dermaplaning?

There are few trained professionals in Rego Park NC who are dermaplaning experts. You may not have ever heard of this amazing and effective skin care treatment. Dermaplaning is a non-invasive and non-surgical skin care treatment used to exfoliate the skin. Exfoliating means to remove the dirt, debris and dead skin cells from the upper layer of the skin. Over time, debris and dead skin cells build up causing the skin to look dull and dry. A very delicate blade, similar to that used for shaving, is used to remove the upper layer of dead skin and debris, which allows the healthy newer skin cells of the face to come to the surface. After this simple procedure, your skin’s healthy, natural glow and radiance is restored.
