This is a power combo. By combining a deep skin cleanse with dermaplaning, which removes dead skin cells and facial hair, you help the chemical peel to penetrate more effectively, targeting clogged pores, dullness, and uneven texture.
This treatment combines the power of laser or intense pulsed light (IPL) with dermaplaning to help achieve an even-toned complexion. Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and facial hair, enabling the Laser/IPL to do its magic.
This combo will leave your skin feeling cleansed, smooth, even, and rejuvenated.
