Dermaplaning

This lesson is dedicated to dermaplaning — a precise, manual skin exfoliation technique based on the controlled removal of the stratum corneum and fine vellus hair using a sterile surgical scalpel. The procedure is performed superficially and in a fully controlled manner, without disrupting the integrity of the dermis.

The material provides comprehensive theoretical and practical preparation for working with a scalpel, with particular emphasis on safety principles, client qualification, workplace hygiene, and correct treatment technique. Dermaplaning results in visible skin smoothing, improved skin tone uniformity, and enhanced penetration and effectiveness of subsequent skincare and aesthetic procedures.

The learning process includes theoretical instruction, instructional videos, detailed step-by-step guidance, and a certificate of lesson completion.
