Welcome to the world of radiant skin! At Direct Aesthetics, we bring you the transformative wonders of dermaplaning ā a skincare secret to unveil your skin’s natural beauty. Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation treatment that uses a surgical-grade tool to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells from your face. This non-invasive treatment is designed to rejuvenate your complexion by gently scraping away dull, dead skin cells and unwanted peach fuzz. This technique is incredibly effective at revealing smoother, brighter and softer skin that looks and feels rejuvenated.
