What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment performed using a sterile, medical-grade surgical blade to gently remove the outer layer of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair, commonly known as "peach fuzz."
The treatment leaves your skin:
Smoother
Brighter
Softer
More even in texture
Better prepared for makeup application
More receptive to skincare products
Unlike shaving at home, professional dermaplaning is performed by a trained skincare professional using specialized techniques and sterile instruments designed specifically for facial exfoliation.
How Does Dermaplaning Work?
During the treatment, your licensed esthetician carefully glides a sterile blade across the surface of your skin at a precise angle.
This process gently removes:
Dead skin cells
Surface debris
Peach fuzz (vellus hair)
Dry, flaky skin
By removing this outer layer, healthier, fresher skin is immediately revealed underneath.

Your esthetician will determine whether dermaplaning is appropriate based on your skin type and goals.

What to Expect During Your Appointment
Step 1: Skin Consultation
Your esthetician will evaluate your skin and discuss your goals.
Step 2: Cleansing
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove oil, makeup, and impurities.
Step 3: Dermaplaning Treatment
Using a sterile surgical blade, your provider will gently exfoliate the skin while removing dead skin cells and fine facial hair.
Step 4: Finishing Products
Medical-grade skincare products, moisturizer, and sunscreen will be applied to nourish and protect your skin.
Most appointments take approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
Does Dermaplaning Hurt?
No.
Most patients describe dermaplaning as relaxing. You may feel a light scraping sensation during treatment, but the procedure is generally comfortable and does not require numbing.
Is There Any Downtime?
One of the biggest advantages of dermaplaning is the minimal downtime.
After treatment, you may notice:
Mild redness
Slight sensitivity
Increased skin softness
These effects typically resolve within a few hours.
Most patients return to work or normal daily activities immediately.
Dermaplaning Before a Special Event
Dermaplaning is a favorite treatment before:
Weddings
Engagement photos
Vacations
Holiday parties
Proms
Professional photoshoots
Special celebrations
For the best results, many patients schedule their appointment 3 to 7 days before an event to allow their skin to look its absolute best.
How Often Should I Get Dermaplaning?
Most patients benefit from dermaplaning every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on their skin type and goals.
Regular treatments help maintain smooth skin and healthy cell turnover.
Your provider will recommend a schedule that fits your skincare routine.
Dermaplaning vs. At-Home Facial Razors
While facial razors are widely available, professional dermaplaning offers several advantages:
Performed by a licensed skincare professional
Uses sterile, medical-grade surgical blades
Provides more precise exfoliation
Includes a professional skin assessment
Can be combined with medical-grade skincare treatments
Offers a customized approach based on your skin's needs
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my hair grow back thicker?
No. Dermaplaning does not change the thickness, color, or growth rate of your facial hair. The fine vellus hair grows back with the same texture and appearance as before treatment.
Can I wear makeup afterward?
Many patients choose to wait until the following day, allowing freshly exfoliated skin to fully benefit from post-treatment skincare products.
Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive skin?
Many individuals with sensitive skin can safely receive dermaplaning, but every patient is different. During your consultation, we'll determine whether the treatment is appropriate for your skin.
Can dermaplaning help acne scars?
Dermaplaning may improve the appearance of superficial skin texture and dullness, but it does not treat deep acne scars. Depending on your concerns, we may recommend combining it with other treatments.
Can I combine dermaplaning with other facials?
Yes. Dermaplaning is commonly combined with treatments such as customized facials, hydrating masks, enzyme treatments, or chemical peels when appropriate.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Avoid excessive sun exposure, retinoids, and harsh exfoliating products for several days before treatment unless directed otherwise by your provider.
