The primary use of dermaplaning is to get rid of peach fuzz on the face. During a dermaplaning session, the dermatologist or esthetician uses a medical-grade scalpel to scrape (not cut!) across the surface of the skin. The main reason people do it is to remove the vellus hairs on their faces, also known as peach fuzz. In turn this also gets rid of dead skin cells and makeup buildup that normal cleansing doesn't clean. Leaving you with baby soft skin. Making your makeup go on smoother and facial products penetrate deeper.
