Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation meant to be performed primarily on the face. Also known as leveling the skin or blading, it involves the use of a sterile surgical blade, known as a dermatome, that gently scrapes away the top layer of problem skin. The dermatome is held against taut skin at a 45-degree angle and stroked in a manner similar to shaving.
This method removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth and supple.
Dermaplaning is usually only performed on the face and generally excludes any blading of the nose, eye lids, neck, or chest. It is recommended that the procedure be done every 3 to 4 weeks (or once a month), which coincides with a normal skin cycle of approximately 30 days.
Dermaplaning is wonderful for exfoliating the skin and for those that have peach fuzz on their face. It removes this along with dead skin cells, resulting in healthier looking skin. This treatment is great for someone who has sensitive skin or facial hair that does not respond to laser hair removal. Removal of this outer layer of dead skin cells and fine hair enhances the penetration and speed of your personal skin care regimen. It is great for priming the skin for a Chemical Peel.
After the treatment, your make up will go on better and your skin will be very smooth. This is a no downtime procedure.

Both Dr. Schmid and Renee went above and beyond my expectations with their time, clearly presented information and with additional options to consider. I so appreciate the time both of them spent with me. In addition, I really appreciated a call the next day from Renee as she took the time to steer me in a good direction for the skincare. —Kay
I appreciated the time and information given during my consultation with Dr. Schmid. He was kind and patient with all of my questions and concerns. He was tactful and informative, giving advice and opinions about potential surgery options and other non-surgical methods. Renee was also patient, kind, and informative through the consultation and answering various additional questions, and sharing her experiences.
