Dermaplaning Facial
A precise exfoliation technique that removes dead skin and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). The result is silky-smooth skin and a flawless makeup canvas.
What It Is
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. The result is incredibly smooth, glowing skin and a flawless makeup canvas. Benefits include immediate smoothness, brighter complexion, reduced appearance of fine lines, removal of facial peach fuzz, better absorption of skincare products, and a perfect base for makeup application. Dermaplaning is one of the most popular pre-event treatments because it offers instant glow with zero downtime.
How It Works
After cleansing your face, your provider holds your skin taut with one hand and gently glides a sterile blade across the skin at a precise angle. The motion removes dead surface cells and fine hair without cutting your skin. Treatment is painless, most clients describe it as feeling like a soft brushing or scratching sensation. The session typically takes 30–45 minutes and often includes additional facial steps like a mask, serum, or light enzyme treatment. You'll see immediate smoothness and glow with no downtime.
Ideal Candidate
Dermaplaning is ideal for clients with dull skin, fine vellus hair they'd like removed, dry or flaky patches, or those wanting an event-ready glow. It's also wonderful for makeup wearers: foundation glides on flawlessly post-treatment. Dermaplaning is not recommended for clients with active acne breakouts (which can spread bacteria), inflammatory rosacea, deep cystic acne, or very sensitive skin. We'll evaluate your skin during consultation.
Aftercare & Recovery
Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ daily. Skip strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for 24 hours. Avoid retinoids, acids, and exfoliating products for 2–3 days. Don't wax, thread, or use depilatory creams on the treated area for at least 1 week. Use gentle, hydrating skincare. There's no downtime, you can apply makeup immediately if desired. For ongoing benefits, schedule treatments every 4–6 weeks.

Common questions
- Will my hair grow back darker or thicker?
No, this is a common myth. Vellus hair grows back at the same texture and color it was before.
- Does dermaplaning hurt?
Not at all. It's completely painless when done by a trained provider.
- How long do results last?
The exfoliation benefits last 3–4 weeks. Hair regrowth occurs at its natural pace, typically becoming noticeable around the 4-week mark.
- Is dermaplaning safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained professional using a sterile surgical blade. We never recommend at-home dermaplaning tools, which can cause irritation or scarring.
- Can I combine dermaplaning with other treatments?
Absolutely. Dermaplaning pairs beautifully with chemical peels, facials, and hydrating treatments for enhanced results.
