Dermaplaning Practitioner Diploma Course

Accredited by the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM)

Course Overview

Dermaplaning is a safe, effective, and non-invasive exfoliation treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) using a sterile surgical blade. This advanced skincare procedure delivers instantly smoother, brighter skin, and enhances the absorption of skincare products.
