Reveal smoother, brighter skin. Naturally & safely!
Exfoliation is a skincare treatment that removes dead, dull surface skin to reveal healthier, fresher layers underneath. By combining the power of chemical peels and dermaplaning, we help target fine lines, dull texture, excess debris, and uneven tone with approaches suited to your skin type and goals.
What is exfoliation & what can it treat?
Exfoliation involves removing the outermost dead skin layers, encouraging new skin regeneration. Our practice offers two leading methods:
Chemical peels use safe, medical-grade acids (like glycolic, lactic, salicylic) to dissolve and lift dead skin cells.
Dermaplaning is a controlled manual exfoliation using a specialized blade to gently shave off dead cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz).
These treatments help address:
Dull, congested or rough skin
Fine lines & signs of aging
Hyperpigmentation, dark spots, & uneven tone
Build-up of debris or clogged pores
Enhancing product absorption & smoother texture
Why choose exfoliation?
When done professionally and properly, exfoliation delivers noticeable results with minimal recovery time. It works beneath the surface to refresh your complexion and rejuvenate your skin.
Smooths & refines
Reveals a clearer, softer, more even complexion after just one session.
Clears & rescues troubled skin
Clear clogged pores and reduce post-acne marks; removes debris, dead cells, and fine hairs.
Boosts product performance
Allow your serums and moisturizers to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
Safe, customizable care
We select the best method or combination (peel + dermaplaning) based on your goals.
What to expect during your exfoliation?
Your skin’s health, safety, and comfort matter to us at every stage, from consultation to recovery. We take a personalized, attentive approach so you always feel cared for and confident in your exfoliation treatment.
Skin consultation & prep
We analyze your skin and lifestyle, and decide which exfoliation method (peel, dermaplaning, or combined) fits you best. Your skin is cleansed and prepped.
Treatment application
For peels: the acid solution is applied, left on for controlled time, then neutralized. You may feel tingling or warmth.
For dermaplaning: a gentle, gliding blade strokes the skin to shave off dead skin cells and fine hair, with no tugging sensation.
Aftercare & recovery
We apply a calming, hydrating serum or mask. Mild peeling or gentle flaking may occur (especially after peels). Avoid sun exposure, harsh exfoliants, and makeup for the first 24–48 hours. Follow a simple skincare regimen we provide to support healing and enhance results.

Minimal. For peels you may see light peeling for 2–5 days. Dermaplaning has almost no downtime. You might experience temporary sensitivity.
Wait at least 24–48 hours after a peel before applying makeup. After dermaplaning, makeup application is generally safe the next day, but use gentle formulas.
Yes, when treatments are properly selected and tailored. We assess your skin beforehand and choose methods that are safe and effective for your skin type and condition.
