What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) using a specialized surgical blade. This painless and safe procedure enhances skin texture, promotes cell renewal, and allows better absorption of skincare products, leaving your skin instantly smoother, brighter, and more radiant.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment for most skin types and tones. The best candidates are those looking to improve skin texture, brightness, and smoothness with no downtime.
- Individuals with Dull or Dry Skin – Removes dead skin cells to restore a fresh, radiant glow.
- People with Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Stimulates collagen production for a smoother complexion.
- Those with Peach Fuzz (Vellus Hair) – Gently removes fine facial hair for silky-smooth skin.
- Preparing for an Event – Provides the perfect base for flawless makeup application.
- Anyone Seeking Better Skincare Absorption – Allows serums and moisturizers to penetrate more effectively.
Who Should Avoid Dermaplaning?
- Those with active acne, rosacea, or inflamed skin conditions (as it may cause irritation).
- Individuals with very sensitive skin or a history of keloid scarring.
- Clients on certain acne medications (e.g., Accutane) should wait at least six months.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dermaplaning
Does dermaplaning hurt?
No! It’s a completely painless procedure and feels similar to a gentle facial.
Will my hair grow back thicker or darker?
No. Dermaplaning does not alter hair growth patterns—peach fuzz grows back the same.
Can I get dermaplaning if I have acne?
If you have active breakouts, dermaplaning is not recommended. However, it can help with acne scars and skin texture when breakouts subside.
Is there downtime after dermaplaning?
No! You can resume normal activities immediately. Some redness may occur but fades quickly.
