Surgical-Blade Exfoliation for Baby-Smooth Skin
Remove dead skin and peach fuzz in one relaxing treatment for the smoothest skin of your life. Dermaplaning uses a surgical blade to gently scrape away surface buildup, revealing luminous skin and flawless makeup application - with zero downtime.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. The blade is held at a precise 45-degree angle and moved across skin in gentle strokes, removing debris and revealing smooth, radiant skin beneath. This physical exfoliation is incredibly effective for creating silky texture, improving product penetration, and achieving flawless makeup application.
Beyond exfoliation, removing fine facial hair creates instant smoothness and allows makeup to glide on perfectly without catching on peach fuzz. Light reflects more evenly off smooth skin, creating luminous glow. There's zero downtime, no chemicals, and it's suitable for most skin types including sensitive skin. Results are immediate - walk out with the smoothest, softest skin you've ever felt.

What Can Dermaplaning Treat?
Scrape away dead skin and peach fuzz for the smoothest, most radiant complexion.
Maximum Smoothness
Removes weeks of accumulated dead skin cells in one treatment. More effective than scrubs or chemical exfoliants at physical removal. Reveals fresh, healthy skin cells beneath for dramatic smoothness and radiance. Particularly effective for dry, flaky skin that doesn't respond to topical exfoliants. Creates silky-soft texture you'll want to touch constantly.
Silky Smoothness
Removes fine facial hair (peach fuzz) that traps dirt, oil, and makes makeup look cakey. Light reflects more evenly off smooth hairless surface for luminous glow. Makeup applies flawlessly without catching on hair. Results last 3-4 weeks as hair grows back. Contrary to myth, hair does NOT grow back thicker or darker - it's vellus hair that grows back exactly the same.
Radiant Glow
Transforms rough, dull complexion into smooth, glowing skin immediately. Dead skin removal reveals more reflective surface that catches light beautifully. Creates "lit from within" radiance. Perfect before special events, photos, or anytime you want to look your absolute best. Instant gratification treatment.
Exfoliation softens appearance of fine lines and promotes cellular turnover for more youthful skin. Works on superficial lines only - not deep wrinkles. Regular monthly treatments help maintain smooth, youthful texture. Excellent preventative anti-aging treatment for those in 20s-40s.
Removes barrier of dead cells and hair, allowing serums, moisturizers, and treatments to penetrate 50-80% more effectively. Perfect before chemical peels (applied immediately after dermaplaning) for deeper penetration. Skincare products work dramatically better on freshly dermaplaned skin. Maximizes your skincare investment.
How Dermaplaning Works
Using sterile, surgical-grade scalpel held at precise 45-degree angle, aesthetician makes short, feathering strokes across skin surface. Blade gently scrapes away dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) without cutting or damaging living skin beneath. Proper angle and technique are critical — this is skilled procedure requiring training and experience.
The Treatment Experience:
After cleansing, provider begins dermaplaning in systematic pattern across face. You'll hear scraping sound and feel light scratching sensation - not painful, actually quite relaxing for most. Treatment takes 30-45 minutes. You'll see a pile of dead skin and peach fuzz accumulating as the blade works — satisfying visual proof of what's being removed. Immediately after, your face feels incredibly smooth.
What's Actually Removed:
Dermaplaning removes 2-3 weeks of accumulated dead skin cells from stratum corneum (outermost layer) plus all fine vellus hair. You'll see the debris - it's gray/white mixture of dead cells and peach fuzz. This physical removal is more thorough than chemical exfoliants for surface buildup. Living skin cells beneath are untouched and undamaged.
ALL THE ANSWERS
Frequently Asked Questions
Does dermaplaning hurt?
Not at all! Most find it relaxing. You'll feel light scratching sensation and hear scraping sound, but no pain.
Some areas slightly more sensitive (upper lip) but still comfortable.
What's the downtime?
Zero. Possible slight pinkness for 1-2 hours that fades quickly. No peeling, no sensitivity, no restrictions. Can wear makeup same day (though waiting few hours ideal). Resume all activities immediately.
Will my hair grow back thicker or darker?
Absolutely not! This is common myth. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) grows back at same rate, texture, and color. Hair may feel slightly stubbly at first because it's blunt-cut, but it's not actually thicker or darker.
Can I get dermaplaning with acne?
Not during active breakouts. Blade can spread bacteria and aggravate acne. Wait until skin is clear. Excellent for acne-prone skin when not actively breaking out - removes dead cells that clog pores.
How often can I get dermaplaning?
Every 3-4 weeks once hair and dead skin have accumulated enough to dermaplane again. Monthly treatments ideal for maintaining smooth, glowing skin.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Yes! One of few exfoliation treatments safe during pregnancy since it's purely physical with no chemicals. Popular with pregnant patients who can't do chemical peels or certain lasers.
When will I see results?
Immediately! Walk out with smoothest skin you've ever felt. Results last 3-4 weeks as dead skin and hair gradually return.
Can I combine dermaplaning with chemical peels?
Yes! Very popular combination. Dermaplaning first removes dead skin barrier, allowing chemical peel to penetrate more deeply for enhanced results.
Creates dramatic improvement. Called "Dermaplane + Peel" treatment.
How is dermaplaning different from shaving?
Dermaplaning: surgical scalpel at 45-degree angle, removes dead skin + hair, trained professional, exfoliation + hair removal.
Shaving: razor perpendicular to skin, only removes hair, can irritate, no exfoliation benefit.
Can men get dermaplaning?
Not on beard area (would remove terminal hair). However, men can get dermaplaning on areas without coarse hair (forehead, cheeks above beard line if clean-shaven). More common for women.
