Above all, it is essentially shaving your face, but don’t freak out! It doesn’t give you cuts or leave scars.

 

A well-trained esthetician can simply abrade the surface of the skin using light feathering strokes with a scalpel. Dermaplaning is an alternative to microdermabrasion with less downtime and more advantages. Furthermore, it takes a couple of minutes to do and you can move on with your day once you’ve topped your face with an SPF cream.
