Recommended sessions: Results are often immediate. 4-6 weeks recommended for regular maintenance. 

Recommendations: Pair your dermaplaning treatment with a  BOOST Mild Peel to amplify results. The AHA boost relieves dry skin, reduces fines lines and pigmentation. On the other hand, the BHA boost cleanses and decongests oily skin.
