Think of this as shaving on steroids. Rather than a standard razor blade, a scalpel (don't freak, it's not as intense as it sounds) removes both vellus hairs and dead cells on the top layer of the skin. This makes it an effective method of not only hair removal, but exfoliation, too, and the only one of the bunch that will leave you with both hairless and glowy skin. It's smart for first-timers to leave this up to the pros and see an aesthetican, though there are at-home devices available, too. Both
Dermaflash, $189, and
Michael Todd Sonicsmooth Sonic Dermaplaning System, $99, combine the benefits of dermaplaning with sonic vibrations to both exfoliate and de-fuzz. Dermaplaning is a good option for most people, though if you have acne, conditions like rosacea or eczema, or your skin is super sensitive, skip it.
