What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a simple exfoliating treatment that makes your skin softer, smoother and more radiant.

How Does Dermaplaning Work?
Dermaplaning is performed by carefully exfoliating the outermost layer of your skin with a sterile blade. The process removes your dead skin as well as the soft light-colored “vellus” hairs of the upper lip, cheeks and sides of the face, leaving smoother, hair-free skin in its place.

Is Dermaplaning Safe?
Dermaplaning is extremely safe. Like any surgical or non-surgical procedure, there are some risks associated, so it is important to find a trusted, experienced provider who understands the finer points of exfoliation treatment.

Dermaplaning Downtime
During dermaplaning, we will carefully and gently remove light facial hair and dead skin from the treatment areas used a blunt-ended sterile scalpel. Patients typically compare the sensation to shaving their legs. You should not expect to feel any pain or discomfort. The procedure typically lasts about 15 to 20 minutes.

There is no downtime associated with dermaplaning. Immediately after the procedure, your skin may appear pinker than normal, but this typically resolves within a few hours of treatment. Your skin will look and feel noticeably smoother and more radiant.

How Dermaplaning Enhances Your Aesthetic Treatments
Dermaplaning has become one of the most popular skin-prep treatments — and for good reason. Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive procedure that uses a fine blade to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair or “peach fuzz” to instantly reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. Its an ideal way to enhance your aesthetic treatment results and leave your skin glowing.

Removes Peach Fuzz for Smooth Skin
By removing fine facial hair, dermaplaning creates a soft, even skin surface. Without peach fuzz, your skincare products can absorb more effectively and your makeup will apply flawlessly. Having smoother “fuzz-free” skin allows treatments like facials, microneedling and laser treatments to work more efficiently.

Primes Skin for the Best Results
Dermaplaning removes the top layer of dead skin cells, creating a fresh canvas for treatments to penetrate more deeply. When you get a dermaplaning treatment:

-Facials can exfoliate your skin more thoroughly.
-Microneedling can stimulate your collagen production more effectively.
-Laser treatments can better target your skin concerns without interference from surface buildup.
-When your skin is prepped and clear to begin with, you’ll see more visible, longer-lasting results from any procedure.

Gives You a Healthy & Hydrated Glow
Dermaplaning leaves your skin looking brighter and feeling softer. Fine lines appear less noticeable, and your overall complexion takes on a more even and radiant look. These results complement any aesthetic treatment.

Dermaplaning can typically be done every 4 to 6 weeks, since that’s about how long it takes for skin cells to regenerate and your “peach fuzz” to grow back.

Caring for Your Skin After Treatment
After your dermaplaning session, your skin will feel smooth and refreshed, but also more delicate. To protect your results and keep your complexion glowing, be gentle with your skin. Avoid scratching or picking at your skin, and if possible, avoid applying makeup for 24 hours to allow your skin to breathe. If you do apply makeup, make sure your brushes and applicators are clean to avoid irritating your skin.

When following your daily skincare routine, opt for gentle cleansers free of harsh acids to prevent irritation. Because freshly exfoliated skin is more vulnerable to UV damage, make sunscreen a non-negotiable step in your regimen year-round. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using a minimum of a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. These aftercare practices are also beneficial following other aesthetic treatments.

Dermaplaning Results
The removal of dead skin and facial hair reveals skin that is noticeably soft and more radiant. It may also allow skin care products to penetrate deeper and more effectively into the skin. This treatment is a favorite of professionals in the entertainment industry because it leaves skin looking fresh and provides a smooth surface for makeup application. The results are comparable to other forms of exfoliation, with the added benefit of hair removal.
