WHAT IS dermaplaning

Unlike harsh scrubs or chemical exfoliants, dermaplaning is a non-invasive, skin resurfacing facial treatment that delivers immediate results without irritating your skin. It’s safe for most skin types and offers a natural way to achieve that fresh-faced, luminous look—no downtime, just instant gratification.

Why You’ll love it

Dermaplaning is more than just a glow-up—it targets multiple skin concerns at once:
  • Fine Lines & Wrinkles:
    By exfoliating the top layer of skin, dermaplaning softens the appearance of fine lines, creating a smoother surface.
  • Superficial Acne Scars:
    Helps minimize the look of shallow acne scarring by promoting gentle resurfacing and skin renewal.
  • Peach Fuzz Removal:
    Removes fine facial hair, enhancing makeup application and skin clarity.
  • Rough or Uneven Texture:
    Sloughs away dead skin to reveal a softer, more refined skin texture.
  • Dullness or Uneven Tone:
    Boosts radiance by eliminating buildup and promoting a more even-looking complexion.
  • Clogged Pores:
    Prepares the skin for deeper cleansing and better product absorption, helping to prevent congestion.

Dermaplaning Benefits

  • Instant Radiance:
     That satisfying post-treatment glow? It’s real. Dermaplaning reveals a smoother, brighter surface by sweeping away the layer of buildup that's been dulling your shine.
  • Baby-Smooth Texture:
    Your face will feel impossibly soft. By removing fine vellus hair (aka peach fuzz) and dead skin, your skin becomes silky-smooth to the touch.
  • Better Product Absorption:
    Why let your skincare go to waste? With the surface debris gone, your serums and moisturizers absorb more effectively, giving you more bang for your buck.
  • Makeup That Looks (and Feels) Flawless:
     No more foundation clinging to dry patches or sitting on top of facial hair. Dermaplaning creates a smooth canvas that makes your makeup look airbrushed IRL.
  • Dullness or Uneven Tone: Boosts radiance by eliminating buildup and promoting a more even-looking complexion.
  • Pain-Free & No Downtime
    There’s no redness, peeling, or recovery period. You can walk out of your appointment and right into your day, fresh-faced and glowing.
  • A Gentle Alternative to Harsh Exfoliation
    If scrubs leave your skin red or reactive, dermaplaning is a gentler, more controlled option that exfoliates without causing irritation.

Dermaplaning Treatment Process: What To Expect

Before

We begin with a personalized consultation to understand your skin goals and any sensitivities. You’ll get tailored recommendations for pairing dermaplaning with other treatments—like hydrating masks or enzyme peels—for even better results. Before treatment, we’ll ask you to arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. No exfoliating or retinol-based products for 48 hours before your visit.

During

The treatment takes about 30–45 minutes. You’ll relax as your provider gently glides the dermaplaning blade over your skin. It’s painless (think: a soft brushing sensation) and requires no numbing. Many clients say it’s oddly satisfying—like watching dull skin disappear in real time.

After

There’s no downtime. Your skin may be slightly pink, but that subsides quickly. We recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing SPF post-treatment to protect your freshly revealed skin. You’ll notice instantly smoother, brighter results, with effects that typically last 2–3 weeks.

Questions? We Have Answers

Does dermaplaning cause hair to grow back thicker?
Not at all. The hair removed during dermaplaning is vellus hair (peach fuzz), which grows back at the same rate, color, and texture. No stubble, no coarseness—just the same soft hair you had before.
Most clients benefit from dermaplaning every 3–4 weeks. That’s typically how long it takes for dead skin cells and peach fuzz to return. Regular treatments help maintain that radiant, smooth glow.
Absolutely. Dermaplaning pairs beautifully with hydrating facials, enzyme masks, and LED therapy. By clearing the way for better absorption, it enhances the results of any add-on treatment.
Yes, dermaplaning is a non-invasive treatment with no chemicals or heat involved, making it a great option for expectant mothers looking to maintain healthy, glowing skin.
While dermaplaning won’t treat active breakouts, it can help improve the appearance of superficial acne scars by smoothing the skin’s surface and encouraging gentle exfoliation.
After dermaplaning, avoid sun exposure, retinol, and exfoliating agents for 48 hours. Be sure to wear sunscreen daily to protect your fresh new skin from damage.
