What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to carefully remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from your face. The result is an instantly smoother, brighter complexion.
At TRU Integrative Wellness, dermaplaning is performed by trained skincare professionals and can be done as a standalone treatment or combined with other services like chemical peels or facials for enhanced results.

The Science
How Dermaplaning Works
Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped. Using a sterile surgical blade held at a 45-degree angle, your provider gently glides the blade across the skin's surface in short, feathering strokes.
This removes the top layer of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), revealing the fresh, smooth skin beneath.
The treatment is painless and takes about 30 minutes. Your skin will immediately look and feel smoother, and makeup application will be noticeably easier.
