Dermaplaning
Reveal smoother, softer-looking skin with a professional dermaplaning treatment. This gentle exfoliation technique removes accumulated dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the skin’s surface, helping improve the appearance of dullness, uneven texture, and dryness. Dermaplaning leaves the skin feeling exceptionally smooth and creates a fresh, radiant-looking complexion.
How dermaplaning works
Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation treatment performed using a sterile, professional surgical blade held at a controlled angle against the skin. Gentle, precise strokes remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with fine facial hair.
By clearing away surface buildup, dermaplaning helps improve skin smoothness and allows skincare products to be applied more evenly. It also creates a smooth canvas for makeup application.
Benefits of dermaplaning
Dermaplaning offers several benefits, including:
Removes dead skin cell buildup and fine facial hair.
Improves the appearance of dull, uneven skin texture.
Leaves skin feeling smoother and softer.
Helps create a more even-looking complexion.
Enhances the appearance of makeup application.
Provides immediate surface smoothness and a refreshed appearance.
Dermaplaning does not change the thickness, color, or growth rate of facial hair. It also does not permanently remove hair.
What to expect
Your provider will begin by cleansing and preparing your skin before performing the treatment with a sterile dermaplaning blade. The procedure is generally comfortable and should not be painful. You may feel a gentle scraping sensation as dead skin cells and fine hair are removed.
Following treatment, your skin may appear brighter and feel noticeably smoother. Some temporary redness or sensitivity is possible. Your provider may finish with soothing, hydrating skincare and sun protection to support your skin after exfoliation.
Frequently asked questions
Will my facial hair grow back thicker or darker?
No. Dermaplaning does not change the structure of your hair follicles. Your facial hair will grow back with the same natural thickness, color, and texture it had before treatment.
Is dermaplaning suitable for all skin types?
Dermaplaning can be suitable for many skin types, but it is not appropriate for everyone. Active inflammatory acne, open lesions, skin infections, or significantly irritated skin may make the treatment unsuitable. Your provider will assess your skin before proceeding.
Does dermaplaning hurt?
No. Most clients describe the treatment as a gentle scraping sensation. It should not be painful, and no anesthesia is typically needed.
How often should I get dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is generally recommended every 6-8 weeks, depending on your skin’s condition, sensitivity, and exfoliation needs. Allowing adequate time between treatments helps maintain a healthy skin barrier.
Can I combine dermaplaning with other treatments?
Yes, dermaplaning can be incorporated into certain customized facials and skincare treatments. However, not every combination is appropriate. Your provider will determine which treatments can safely be performed together based on your skin condition and treatment goals.
Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?
It is best to allow your skin to rest for approximately 24 hours before applying makeup. This gives your skin time to settle following exfoliation.
What should I avoid after treatment?
For the first 24–48 hours, avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, scrubs, and other potentially irritating active ingredients unless otherwise directed by your provider. Avoid excessive heat and strenuous activities if your skin feels sensitive. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher is essential, as freshly exfoliated skin needs consistent sun protection.
Will dermaplaning help with acne scars or deep wrinkles?
Dermaplaning improves surface texture and the appearance of dullness, but it does not treat deep acne scars, significant wrinkles, or deeper pigmentation concerns. Other treatments may be more appropriate depending on your goals.
