What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic med spa facial treatment that entails a highly-skilled, certified medical esthetician using a sterile scalpel to manually exfoliate. The tool gently removes the top layer of dead skin, trapped oils, and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), leaving your skin incredibly soft and refreshed.
Dermaplaining can be treated alone or as a great add-on to any medical-grade facial treatment, chemical peel, or DiamondGlow™ treatment because the extensive exfoliation allows for deeper and easier product penetration.
Benefits of Medical Grade Exfoliation
- Removes dull, dead skin buildup
- Smooths skin texture for a radiant glow
- Minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves the appearance of acne scars
- Allows skincare products to absorb more effectively
- Makes makeup application smoother and more flawless
- No downtime – just fresh, glowing skin
What to Expect During Your Dermaplane Treatment
Your dermaplane appointment will last about 30–45 minutes. After cleansing the skin, your esthetician will gently glide the dermaplane tool across your face to remove dead skin and fine hair. The treatment is painless, safe, and relaxing, with no downtime or redness expected.
You’ll leave with immediately noticeable results and softer, smoother skin. It’s the perfect pick-me-up before events, photos, or as a regular part of your skincare routine.
Who Should Get Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is safe and effective for most skin types, including dry, dull, or sensitive skin. It’s also a pregnancy-safe exfoliation option, since no chemicals are used.
It’s an ideal treatment if you want gentle, effective exfoliation without irritation or peeling.
Will Dermaplaning Make Hair Grow Back Thicker?
Rumor has it, removing/shaving off peach fuzz results in darker, thicker hair regrowth. THIS IS FALSE. Shaving or dermaplaning the face does not cause hair to grow back thicker or darker. Vellus hair will grow back exactly the same texture and color it was before.
Patients who receive dermaplane treatments leave the office with a smoother, glowing complexion, resulting in easier product penetration and makeup application.
