Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a popular aesthetic skincare treatment at Refresh & Renew MedSpa in Oakland County. This minimally invasive treatment offers a gentle yet effective way to exfoliate the skin to reveal a radiant, refreshed complexion. Dermaplaning gently shaves away the top layers of the skin, removing dead skin cells to promote smoother, brighter, more youthful-looking skin. But that’s not all – by removing the outermost layer of the skin, dermaplaning also allows for better absorption of skincare products, better application and wear of makeup, and deeper penetration of other treatments, which maximizes their effectiveness.
How It Works
During your appointment at Refresh & Renew MedSpa in Clarkston, MI, your esthetician will use a dermatome, a special instrument that has a small, sterile blade, to carefully shave off the top layers of your skin. This process removes dead skin cells and fine hairs (commonly known as “peach fuzz”) from the surface of your skin to eliminate dullness and reveal smoother, revitalized, naturally healthy-looking skin.
Common Treatment Areas
Dermaplaning is a versatile treatment that is used to address a number of skincare goals, including:
Improvement of skin texture
Reduction of fine lines & wrinkles
“Peach fuzz” fine facial hair removal
Reduction of acne scars
Revitalization of dull or dry skin
The R&R Touch
Here at Refresh & Renew MedSpa conveniently situated between Lake Orion and Clarkston, MI, we love helping you get the most bang for your buck and the most power out of your treatments. Work with our skilled practitioners and estheticians to see how you can pair your dermaplaning treatment with other R & R services to reap even more skincare benefits. Because dermaplaning removes the outermost layer of skin cells, when other treatments like facials or chemical peels are paired with it, they can penetrate even deeper into your skin to boost their effectiveness.
