Dermaplaning

Benefits of Dermaplaning

The ultimate skin smoothing, facial enhancement

Dermaplaning is known for leaving your complexion instantly flawless and glowing, with minimal or no downtime.  Our licensed esthetician uses a surgical scalpel to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair (peach fuzz), revealing soft, brighter, and more radiant skin underneath, and a perfectly smooth canvas for serums to penetrate deeper during product absorption.

FAQ's

Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Good candidates include those who:

  • Want smoother, more even-looking skin by removing dead cells
  • Are looking to minimize fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging
  • Desire plump, supple and well-hydrated skin
  • Tighten pores and refine skin texture
  • Desire a quick, effective treatment with no downtime

You should get dermaplaning every 4 to 6 weeks, aligning with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle, to maintain smooth, bright skin by removing dead cells and peach fuzz without over-exfoliating. For those with sensitive skin, start with 6-8 weeks, while individuals with specific concerns might need more frequent sessions initially.

Yes, dermaplaning is generally considered safe and effective for exfoliation and removing peach fuzz when performed by a trained, licensed professional using sterile, disposable blades for each session to ensure the highest level of safety and hygiene. The procedure is non-invasive and requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those looking to refresh their skin quickly.

Dermaplaning is generally painless and comfortable, often described as a gentle scraping or light pressure, though you might feel some slight tingling or a prickly sensation as hair regrows.

No. This is a common myth that stems from confusion with shaving terminal hair (like on a man's face), where the blunt-cut hair can feel like stubble, but dermaplaning doesn't alter hair structure or growth. Dermaplaning only removes the fine, light-colored vellus hair (peach fuzz) and dead skin from the surface, leaving the hair follicle untouched, so the hair regrows exactly as it was before.

Professional execution minimizes risks like cuts and ensures proper hygiene, making it low-risk compared to at-home attempts with sharp tools.
