A Smoother Complexion Awaits
At Amazing Skin Medspa in Allentown, PA, we offer dermaplaning, a gentle yet highly effective exfoliation treatment that instantly smooths and brightens the skin. This non-invasive procedure removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz), allowing for better skincare absorption and a flawless makeup application.
Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation of the skin that triggers the cell regeneration process and allows products to penetrate the skin better. This treatment also rids the face of excess fine hairs, also known as “peach fuzz,” which can often accumulate dirt and oil, causing breakouts.
Contrary to popular belief, vellus hairs “peach fuzz,” as opposed to terminal hair, will not grow back thicker or darker. Exfoliation of dead cells and the removal of fine hairs result in healthier, brighter skin with a smoother look and feel. Even make-up will go on smoother with this treatment!
We offer dermaplaning as a full European facial experience, an express treatment, or as an add-on to most services.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and fine hair. This process helps to reveal fresher, healthier skin, giving you a more even tone and radiant glow.
