Dermaplaning is an aesthetic treatment performed by our Licensed Aestheticians Lani Keene and Kailey Jones. This treatment removes dead skin cells and facial hair (peach fuzz) with no downtime!

What’s special about Dermaplaning at Apex Dermatology?
At Apex our Dermaplaning treatment includes a light Micropeel Sensitive by SkinCeuticals (usually $125). This gentle chemical peel is formulated with niacin, lactic acid, and usnic acid. It gently exfoliates, decongests pores, hydrates the skin, and improves the visible signs of aging. The benefit of Dermaplaning BEFORE the peel is the decreased dead skin and debris that stands in the way of the peel working deeper into the skin. The gentle exfoliation of the Dermaplaning allows your at-home skincare routine to be more effective.
