Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment where a provider uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from your face. The blade is held at a 45-degree angle and glided across the skin in short, precise strokes. This reveals smoother, brighter skin underneath and helps skincare products absorb better.

Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz to reveal a brighter, more radiant complexion. It improves skin tone, smooths texture, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and creates a flawless base for makeup. It also helps serums and moisturizers penetrate more deeply for better hydration and results.

Dermaplaning is very safe when performed by a trained provider. Side effects are rare and typically limited to mild redness or sensitivity that fades within a few hours. There is a small risk of a breakout if the skin is not properly cared for afterward. Following your post-treatment aftercare instructions will minimize any risk.

No. This is one of the most common dermaplaning myths. Vellus hair grows back at the same thickness, color, and texture as before. The hair grows back as the same soft skin fluff because dermaplaning does not change the hair follicle or affect how the hair regrows.

Dermaplaning can help remove fine vellus hair for patients with PCOS, but it does not treat coarse or terminal hair growth. If you have active acne with inflamed breakouts or pustules, dermaplaning should be avoided until the skin calms down, as the blade could spread bacteria and worsen the breakout. For mild acne or acne-prone skin that is not currently inflamed, dermaplaning can be a great exfoliation option. Schedule a consultation so we can evaluate your skin.

Results from a single dermaplaning session typically last about three to four weeks. Your skin naturally sheds and renews itself on a roughly 30-day cycle, so scheduling regular sessions every 3–4 weeks keeps your complexion smooth and your radiance consistent.

The cost of a professional dermaplaning treatment varies depending on whether it is a standalone service or combined with another facial treatment. Schedule a consultation with our team for a personalized quote. We also offer financing options to make your skincare plan work within your budget.

Most people are good candidates for dermaplaning. It works well for a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin. The best candidates are those looking to smooth dull skin, remove surface debris and peach fuzz, or improve the effectiveness of their skincare routine. It is not recommended for patients with active acne, open wounds, or sunburn. Your provider will assess your skin during your consultation to make sure it is the right fit.

During the treatment, your provider gently glides a sterile precision blade across your skin. The process is completely painless and takes about 30 minutes. Afterward, your skin will look and feel instantly smoother and more radiant. Mild pinkness is normal and fades quickly. You can apply makeup and return to your daily routine right away — there is no downtime.
