Dermaplaning instantly reveals smoother, more radiant skin by removing dead cells and peach fuzz that dull your complexion. This treatment not only improves product absorption but also creates a flawless canvas for makeup. At Balm Beauty Studio in Portland’s Pearl District and Beaverton’s Progress Ridge, our estheticians provide professional dermaplaning as a stand-alone treatment or paired with facials for enhanced results, giving you brighter, softer skin with zero downtime.

Before Your Appointment
