Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses a specialized blade to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, or “peach fuzz.” This physical exfoliation instantly reveals a smoother, more radiant complexion and allows for deeper product penetration, all with no downtime.
Treatable Areas
- Dull, lackluster skin
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”)
- Dry, dehydrated skin
- Superficial hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines
- Congested pores
How Dermaplaning Works
Dermaplaning is a precise and gentle exfoliation technique performed by a highly trained skincare specialist. The treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of the skin. Then, using a sterile, single-use surgical-grade blade held at a precise angle, your specialist will gently glide the blade across your skin in short, light strokes.
This carefully controlled motion removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and unwanted vellus hair. The entire process is painless and feels similar to a light scraping. The treatment concludes with the application of nourishing serums and moisturizers, which can now penetrate more effectively into the freshly revealed skin, leaving you with an immediate, unparalleled smoothness and glow.
Whether you need surgical precision, metabolic wellness, or non-surgical refinement, we look at the big picture. Let’s design a unified treatment plan that addresses your health and beauty under one roof.

FAQs about Dermaplaning
Will my hair grow back thicker or darker?
No, this is a common myth. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair, which will grow back at the same rate and with the same texture as before. It will not become coarse or dark.
Is dermaplaning painful?
Not at all. Most patients find the treatment to be very relaxing. You will feel a light scraping sensation as the blade moves across your skin, but there is no pain involved.
How long does a dermaplaning treatment take?
A typical dermaplaning facial takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes, making it an easy treatment to fit into a busy schedule.
Is there any downtime?
There is absolutely no downtime. You may experience very mild redness immediately following the procedure, but this typically subsides within an hour. You can apply makeup and resume your normal activities right away.
How often should I get a dermaplaning facial?
To maintain your smooth, radiant results, we recommend scheduling a treatment every 3 to 4 weeks. This timing aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle.
Can I combine dermaplaning with other treatments?
Yes, dermaplaning is an excellent preparatory treatment. By removing the outer layer of dead skin, it allows for better penetration of products used in other facials, such as a HydraFacial or a gentle chemical peel, for enhanced results.
