What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a facial treatment that helps to restore your skin’s glow while creating a smoother surface. It exfoliates the skin by removing the 2-3 weeks of dead skin cells and vellus hair also known as peach fuzz. A scalpel is used to gently abrade the skin’s surface, leaving it exceptionally silky, smooth, and bright. This safe, painless, and effective skincare treatment is suitable for all skin types.
What are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?
Benefits of Dermaplaning may include:
- Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

This is the perfect treatment if you have an upcoming event and want your makeup to sit flawlessly on your skin!
Is Dermaplaning the Same as Shaving?
Dermaplaning and shaving can both be used to remove unwanted hair growth. Shaving only cuts hair at the skin level and should not remove any layers of skin. Dermaplaning is the best option if you are hoping to improve the overall appearance of your skin.
What results can I expect?
Immediately after the treatment and for up to 24 hours after, you may have a slight pink complexion and can experience slight itching or a tingling sensation. This is completely normal and will usually start to subside after about 20 minutes. The noticeable ‘peach fuzz’ will be gone and you will be left with smoother brighter skin. There’s a misconception that hair grows back thicker or darker, which is generally unfounded.
Dermaplaning is not advised for those with active skin conditions like acne, rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, or sunburn, due to the risk of irritation.
How many treatments will I need?
Dermaplaning is usually performed every three to four weeks. It is good to have the skin complete its normal rejuvenation cycle, which is thirty days, before going back and having the treatment done. The procedure generally will remove between two to three weeks of dead skin and hair growth from the facial area.
Dermaplaning
The treatment starts with a gentle cleansing of the skin, to remove make-up, and oils. Following this, the technician will use gentle yet precise strokes across the surface of the skin, with a sterile, medical grade, scalpel. Following the procedure a moisturizing mask is applied. While the mask takes effect you will receive a hand massage. This treatment is finished off with a moisturizing sunscreen.
