• The entire service takes about 45-60 minutes. 

Is dermaplaning safe for all skin types?

• Generally, yes. However, those with active breakouts and acne, certain skin conditions, and very senstive skin should consult a doctor/ dermatologist before recieving the treatment. 

How often can I get dermaplaning done?
