Dermaplaning is performed by a licensed aesthetician using a disposable, sterile, surgical-grade steel blade that is moved quickly and skillfully across the surface of your face removing the top layer of dead skin cells along with any unwanted hair and peach fuzz. This treatment really does result in instantly smooth, baby-soft skin. Many people get Dermaplaning before special events or before having photos taken, but it is so quick and easy that you can have it done on a regular basis for beautiful smooth skin all the time.

Dermaplaning stimulates the production of fresh, young skin cells, and helps your skin to "breathe" better. A bonus is that following a Dermaplaning treatment your skin care products will absorb into your skin better, making them more effective.

Dermaplaning sessions are $100-150 depending upon complexity.

Debunking Common Myths About Dermaplaning

There are some myths and old wive's tales about dermaplaning that simply are not true. So don't let them stop you from trying this amazing instant skin resurfacing treatment.

• Will my face hairs grow back thicker? This is a long-standing miss-conception, but It is physically impossible for your fine peach fuzz, or vellous hairs, to grow back thicker. When the hairs first start to grow back, you will notice them more than you did before treatment, because you are now used to perfectly smooth skin, and the cut edges are blunt at first. But as the hair growns in, you will find it is the same as it was before treatment.
• My hair will grow back darker and/or thicker? Again, totally not true. Since we are only cutting the hair and leaving the root undisturbed, it is not possible to change the physical characteristics of the hair. Any illusion of it growning back thicker or darker is a result of getting used to seeing your face completely smooth with no peach fuzz at all.
• Is Dermaplaning Painful? Not at all. Dermaplaning is totally pain-free. It is preformed with the lightest touch and is not all all abrasive. It is great for all skin types, except those with an active acne breakout.
• Will Dermaplaning cause breakouts? The complete opposite is true. The exfoliation of the dead skin and cleaning of skin follicles during dermaplaning will actually help your sking breath better. It also allows for your acne medications to penetrate better, helping to further prevent breakouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get dermaplaning done?

Typically, dermaplaning can be performed every 3-4 weeks. This aligns with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle, allowing enough time for new skin cells to surface before the next treatment.

Can I wear makeup immediately after dermaplaning?

While you can wear makeup, it's generally recommended to wait at least a few hours, if not the rest of the day, to allow your skin to breathe and absorb any post-treatment products. Your makeup will also go on much more smoothly after a short waiting period.

Is dermaplaning painful?

No, dermaplaning is generally not painful. Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle scraping or a light brushing against the skin.

Can dermaplaning help with hyperpigmentation?

Yes, by removing the superficial layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning can help to reduce the appearance of certain types of hyperpigmentation, such as sun spots or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, over time.

How long do the results of dermaplaning last?

The immediate smoothing and brightening effects are noticeable right away. The benefits of enhanced product absorption and smoother makeup application typically last for 3-4 weeks, or until your skin's natural exfoliation process brings a new layer of dead skin cells to the surface.
