Dermaplaning
The world’s best-kept beauty secret, dermaplaning, is a simple exfoliation treatment that leaves your skin looking and feeling ultra smooth and intensely refreshed without any downtime or irritation.
Dermaplaning uses a sterile blade to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine, vellus hairs (peach fuzz), providing the perfect canvas for optimal absorption of results-driven serums and top-level results from your professional skin treatments. What’s more, dermaplaning is also a valuable grooming tool by itself, as it affords a smooth foundation for flawless makeup application!

What To Expect
During a dermaplaning appointment, you can expect a relatively quick and comfortable procedure that typically lasts about 30 to 60 minutes. The session usually begins with a thorough cleansing of the face to remove any makeup, oil, and impurities. Afterward, the skin is dried and prepared for the treatment.
Your skincare professional will then use a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel to gently scrape the surface of your skin. This removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) in small, controlled strokes. The process is painless and often described as feeling like a light brushing sensation across the skin.
Once the dermaplaning is complete, a soothing serum or moisturizer is typically applied to hydrate and calm the skin. Many practitioners will also recommend applying sunscreen, as your skin will be more sensitive to the sun post-treatment. You can expect your skin to feel incredibly smooth and look more radiant immediately after the session, with little to no downtime. Most people can return to their regular activities right away, although it’s advised to avoid heavy sun exposure and harsh exfoliants for a few days.
FAQs
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the surface of the skin by removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). This results in a smoother and more radiant complexion.
No, dermaplaning is generally not painful. Most people describe the sensation as a light, brushing feeling. The treatment is designed to be gentle and comfortable.
No, dermaplaning cannot make your hair grow back thicker or darker. Dermaplaning only removes hair at the surface of your skin; it does not touch the roots. Neither dermaplaning nor shaving can affect the thickness, color or amount of hair growth. If you are noticing an increase or decrease in hair growth, you may need to visit your primary care physician for a hormonal test or evaluation. Hormone fluctuations and other medical conditions, including stress, can all affect hair growth, but shaving and dermaplaning do not.
A typical dermaplaning session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the individual’s skin condition and the extent of the treatment.
After dermaplaning, your skin may appear slightly pink and feel mildly sensitive, but this usually fades within a few hours. You should notice immediate smoothness and radiance, with improved texture and tone over time
Post-treatment care includes keeping your skin well-hydrated with a gentle moisturizer and applying sunscreen to protect it from UV exposure. Avoid using harsh exfoliants or irritating skincare products for a few days.
Dermaplaning is a simple and pleasant treatment for your skin. There’s no hard and fast rule for how frequently you should schedule this service. How frequently you dermaplane depends on the rate of your hair growth as well as your aesthetic goals. Some clients schedule dermaplaning every few weeks while others may enjoy it once a season in conjunction with another skin treatment.
Dermaplaning can improve the appearance of superficial acne scars and uneven skin texture. However, it is not a substitute for more intensive treatments for deeper scars.
Dermaplaning is generally safe for most skin types, but those with active acne, rosacea, or very sensitive skin should consult with a skincare professional to determine if it is appropriate for them.
