What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliating facial. A trained skincare professional uses a sterile surgical blade to lightly sweep away the outer layer of the skin. This removes dead skin cells and vellus hair, also called peach fuzz. The treatment uses no chemicals and nothing invasive, so it is safe when done by a trained professional.

Benefits of a Dermaplaning Facial

Deep exfoliation: Removing built-up dead cells reveals smoother, brighter skin. It may soften the look of fine lines, acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
Peach fuzz removal: Makeup goes on more smoothly and looks more even.
Better product absorption: Serums and moisturizers can penetrate more deeply once the dead-cell layer is gone.
Instant results: Many clients see better texture and radiance after one session.
No downtime: You can return to normal activities right away.

What to Expect: Procedure, Recovery and Results

Your aesthetician cleanses your skin, then holds it taut while gently gliding the blade across the face in short strokes. The treatment is painless and usually takes under an hour. It is often combined with other facials, such as a HydraFacial or a light chemical peel, for deeper results. Afterward, your skin feels soft and smooth. Wear sunscreen daily, since fresh skin is more sensitive to the sun. For lasting results, we recommend sessions every 4 to 6 weeks to keep dead cells and vellus hair from building up.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning suits most skin types and tones. It avoids the irritation some chemical treatments can cause, so it is a good choice for sensitive skin, dry skin, dull skin and anyone who wants smoother makeup. If you have active, inflamed breakouts, start with our acne treatment first. Brides often add dermaplaning to their bridal med spa package.

Dermaplaning FAQs

Will my hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?

No. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair, also called peach fuzz. This hair grows back at the same soft texture and color. It does not grow back thicker or darker. Most clients find their skin stays smooth for several weeks after each session.

How often should I get dermaplaning?

We recommend a dermaplaning facial every 4 to 6 weeks. This matches your skin’s natural renewal cycle. It keeps dead cells and peach fuzz from building up, so your skin stays smooth and bright and your skincare products keep absorbing well.

Does dermaplaning hurt?

No. Dermaplaning is painless. Most clients feel a light scraping or tickling sensation as the blade glides across the skin. There is no need for numbing cream. Many people find the treatment relaxing, and you can return to your day right after.

Is there any downtime after dermaplaning?

There is no downtime. Some people see mild pinkness for a few hours. You can wear makeup the same day, and it often goes on more smoothly. Use a gentle cleanser, moisturize and apply sunscreen daily, since freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive.

Who should not get dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning may not be right if you have active, inflamed acne, an open wound, a sunburn or a skin infection on the face. People using strong retinoids may need to pause them first. Your aesthetician will review your skin before treatment.
