What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation treatment in which a trained esthetician uses a sterile, precise blade held at an angle to gently sweep away the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with the fine vellus hair, known as peach fuzz, on the face. It is not a shave and it does not cut into the skin. The result is an immediately smoother, brighter surface and a fresh canvas for skincare and makeup.
How does dermaplaning work?
By removing the top layer of dulling dead skin and the fine hair that traps oil and debris, dermaplaning reveals the healthy skin underneath and encourages natural cell turnover. With that barrier of buildup gone, your serums and moisturizers penetrate more effectively, and light reflects more evenly off the skin for a noticeable glow. It is one of the gentlest ways to exfoliate the face.
What skin types is dermaplaning good for?
Dermaplaning is safe and effective for nearly all skin types and tones, and it is especially loved by people with dry, dull, or rough skin, or fine facial hair. Because it is a mechanical exfoliation with no chemicals, it is gentle and suitable for sensitive skin and for pregnant patients who want to avoid certain actives. Our estheticians are experienced with all skin types and will confirm it is right for you.
Does dermaplaning hurt, and is there downtime?
Dermaplaning is painless and relaxing. You feel only a light, feathering sensation as the blade sweeps across the skin, and there is no downtime at all. Your skin may look slightly pink briefly, but most people leave glowing and can apply makeup right away. Because the fresh skin is more exposed to the sun, daily SPF afterward is important.
What are the benefits of dermaplaning?
- Instantly smoother, brighter, more radiant skin
- Removal of dulling dead skin and fine peach fuzz
- Flawless, smooth makeup application
- Better absorption of your skincare products
- A softer appearance of fine lines and rough texture
- No downtime, so you can glow right away
What are the benefits of dermaplaning?
No. This is the most common dermaplaning myth, and it is not true. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair, or peach fuzz, which grows back exactly the same as before, soft, fine, and the same color. Shaving or removing this hair does not change its thickness, color, or growth rate, because those are determined by your genetics and hormones, not by cutting the hair. You can dermaplane with complete confidence.
Dermaplaning vs microdermabrasion vs a chemical peel
These treatments all exfoliate, but in different ways. Here is a simple comparison.
| Treatment | How it works and best for |
|---|---|
| Dermaplaning | A sterile blade removes dead skin and peach fuzz for smoothness, glow, and makeup prep |
| Microdermabrasion | A polishing device with light suction refines texture and pores, no peach fuzz removal |
| Chemical peel | An acid solution exfoliates at an adjustable depth for tone, pigmentation, and deeper texture |
| HydraFacial | Vortex cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration for an instant glow with serums |
Many patients combine dermaplaning with a facial, HydraFacial, or peel for enhanced results, and your esthetician can recommend the best plan.
What is the aftercare for dermaplaning?
Aftercare is simple. Wear daily broad spectrum SPF, since freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to the sun, and keep skincare gentle for a day or two by avoiding strong exfoliating acids or retinol right after. Otherwise, you can enjoy your smooth, glowing skin immediately. Your esthetician will share any specific tips.
When should you avoid dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is not recommended over active, inflamed, or cystic acne, since the blade can irritate breakouts and spread bacteria. It is also avoided over open lesions, active cold sores, or certain skin conditions. If you have active acne, your esthetician will suggest a better suited treatment, such as a clarifying facial. Honesty about candidacy is part of getting a safe, great result.
Can you combine dermaplaning with other treatments?
Yes, and it is a great add on. Dermaplaning before a facial, HydraFacial, or chemical peel lets those treatments penetrate more deeply and work more effectively, since the dead skin barrier is removed first. Our HydraFacial with dermaplaning is a popular combination for maximum smoothness and glow. Dermaplaning also makes an excellent standalone treatment before a big event.
How often should you get dermaplaning?
Because dermaplaning removes about the amount of dead skin your body produces in a few weeks, most people get it every three to four weeks, which matches the skin’s natural renewal cycle. That keeps your skin consistently smooth and glowing. A membership makes regular dermaplaning easy and affordable.
