What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the face. This process reveals fresh, healthy-looking skin underneath while creating an incredibly smooth canvas for skincare and makeup application.

Unlike harsh scrubs or chemical exfoliants, dermaplaning provides precise physical exfoliation that can be customized for most skin types.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Instantly Smoother Skin

Remove dull, dead skin buildup and enjoy a softer, silkier complexion immediately after treatment.

Brighter, More Radiant Complexion

By removing surface dead skin cells, dermaplaning helps reveal fresher skin and restores a healthy glow.

Flawless Makeup Application

Without peach fuzz and dry skin interfering, foundation and powders apply more evenly and look more natural.

Enhanced Skincare Absorption

Professional skincare products can penetrate more effectively after dead skin buildup is removed.

Softens the Appearance of Fine Lines

Exfoliation can help improve the appearance of rough texture and superficial fine lines, creating a smoother-looking complexion.

Removes Peach Fuzz

Dermaplaning safely removes fine facial hair, leaving skin exceptionally smooth and luminous.

Who Is Dermaplaning Best For?

Dermaplaning is an excellent treatment for individuals who experience:

  • Dull or dry skin
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Rough patches
  • Fine facial hair (peach fuzz)
  • Makeup that appears cakey or uneven
  • Mild sun damage
  • Early signs of aging
  • Patients seeking a gentle exfoliation option before an event or photoshoot

Who Should Avoid Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning may not be recommended if you currently have:

  • Active acne breakouts
  • Open wounds or irritated skin
  • Active cold sores
  • Eczema flare-ups
  • Psoriasis in the treatment area
  • Certain inflammatory skin conditions

Our team will evaluate your skin and determine whether dermaplaning is right for you during your consultation.

Does Dermaplaning Make Hair Grow Back Thicker?

No. This is one of the most common myths about dermaplaning. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair at the surface of the skin but does not affect the hair follicle. The hair will grow back with the same texture, color, and thickness as before treatment.

What to Expect During Treatment

A dermaplaning treatment typically takes approximately 30–45 minutes.

During your appointment:

  1. Your skin is thoroughly cleansed.
  2. A sterile surgical blade is used to gently exfoliate the skin.
  3. Dead skin cells and peach fuzz are removed.
  4. Hydrating and soothing skincare products are applied.
  5. SPF protection is applied before you leave.

Most patients describe the treatment as painless and relaxing, with immediate improvement in skin smoothness and radiance.
