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.

Does Dermaplaning have 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 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 does Dermaplaning enhance your other 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 the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair or “peach fuzz” to instantly reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. Dermaplaning creates a soft, even skin surface so that 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.It’s an ideal way to enhance your aesthetic treatment results and leave your skin glowing. These results complement any aesthetic treatment.

How frequently can you get Dermaplaning treatments?
Dermaplaning can typically be done every 4 to 6 weeks, since that’s about how long it takes for your “peach fuzz” to grow back.

How do you care for your skin after Dermaplaning?
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. If you 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 for the first 24 hours. 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.
