How It Works

Manual Exfoliation, Immediate Results

Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade, gently angled across the skin's surface, to remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair. Unlike chemical exfoliation, there's no downtime, irritation, or peeling — you leave with visibly smoother, brighter skin the same day.

It's a good standalone treatment for an immediate refresh, and it's also commonly paired with other treatments like chemical peels or facials, since removing that top layer of dead skin allows other products and treatments to penetrate more effectively.

Commonly used for

Dull, uneven skin texture
Fine facial hair (“peach fuzz”)
Buildup of dead skin cells
Prepping skin before a special event
Enhancing product absorption before other treatments
General skin brightness and smoothness
How We Approach It

Quick, Comfortable, No Downtime

Dermaplaning typically takes about 30 minutes and requires no numbing or recovery time. Many patients pair it with a chemical peel or facial for enhanced results in the same visit — we'll talk through what makes sense for your skin and goals.

What Patients Say
Common Questions

Dermaplaning FAQs

What patients ask most before their first appointment.

No — this is a common myth. Dermaplaning only removes the fine vellus hair at the skin's surface, and shaving or removing this type of hair does not change its thickness, color, or growth rate when it regrows.
None. Most patients return to normal activities, including makeup application, immediately after treatment. Your skin may look slightly pink for a short time, similar to mild exfoliation.
Most patients benefit from treatment every 3 to 4 weeks, aligning with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle. We can build a regular maintenance schedule based on your skin and goals.
