What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove the outer layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair from the surface of the skin.
The goal is simple: remove buildup that makes skin look dull and uneven so healthier, smoother skin becomes more visible.
Unlike harsh exfoliation methods, dermaplaning is painless, non-invasive, and requires no downtime. Most patients describe the treatment as relaxing and immediately satisfying because skin feels noticeably softer right away.
How Dermaplaning Works
Over time, dead skin cells, oil, debris, and fine hair can collect on the surface of the skin. This buildup may contribute to:
- Dull-looking skin
- Rough texture
- Uneven makeup application
- Dry patches
- Reduced absorption of skincare products
Dermaplaning works by physically exfoliating the skin surface to remove this buildup.
Dermaplaning → removes dead skin and peach fuzz → smoother texture and brighter skin
By clearing away surface buildup, skincare products are often absorbed more effectively, and makeup tends to apply more evenly.

What Skin Concerns Can Dermaplaning Help Improve?
Dermaplaning is often recommended for patients who want brighter, smoother skin without aggressive treatment or downtime.
Dull or Tired-Looking Skin
Removing dead skin buildup helps restore brightness and improve how skin reflects light.
Rough Skin Texture
Gentle exfoliation smooths uneven surface texture for softer-feeling skin.
Peach Fuzz (Fine Facial Hair)
Removing vellus hair creates a smoother finish and improves makeup application.
Dry or Flaky Skin
Dead surface skin can make dryness appear worse. Dermaplaning helps create a cleaner, fresher skin surface.
Uneven Makeup Application
Many patients notice foundation and skincare products apply more evenly after treatment.
Mild Surface Congestion
By removing surface buildup, skin may feel cleaner and appear more refreshed.
Is Dermaplaning Right for Acne Scars or Pigmentation?
Dermaplaning may help improve the appearance of mild texture concerns, but deeper acne scarring or pigmentation often responds better to treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels, or laser skin tretreatment.
During your consultation, we evaluate your skin condition to determine which treatment will create the most meaningful improvement for your goals.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is suitable for many skin types and is often chosen by patients who want immediate improvement with minimal commitment.
You May Be a Good Candidate If You:
- Want smoother, brighter skin quickly
- Have dull or dry skin
- Notice peach fuzz affecting makeup application
- Want a treatment before a wedding, photos, or event
- Prefer treatments with no downtime
- Want healthier-looking skin between larger treatments
Patients Often Choose Dermaplaning Before:
- Weddings
- Professional photos
- Vacations
- Special events
- Important work or social occasions
What to Expect From Dermaplaning Results
When Will I See Results?
Most patients notice a visible difference immediately after treatment, with skin often feeling softer, smoother, brighter, and more even in texture. Many people also find that makeup applies more seamlessly, while skincare products may absorb more effectively once dead skin buildup and fine facial hair (peach fuzz) have been removed.
How Long Do Dermaplaning Results Last?
For most patients, results last around 2–3 weeks, depending on skin type, skincare habits, and environmental exposure. Patients who want consistently smoother skin often schedule dermaplaning every 3–4 weeks as part of a regular skincare routine. Dermaplaning → removes buildup → smoother skin → repeat maintenance for continued results
Does Facial Hair Grow Back Thicker?
No, this is one of the most common misconceptions. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (peach fuzz), which grows back at the same texture and rate as before treatment. It does not become darker, thicker, or coarser.
What Happens During a Dermaplaning Appointment?
Before Your Appointment
Avoid active exfoliants, retinoids, or intense sun exposure for 3–5 days prior. Come with a clean face.
During Treatment
Using a sterile surgical blade, your provider will gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair. It’s painless and takes about 30 minutes.
Aftercare
Use gentle cleansers and SPF for a few days post-treatment. Avoid harsh scrubs or acids for 48 hours.
Best Treatments to
Combine with Dermaplaning
For enhanced results, pair dermaplaning with a HydraFacial for deep hydration and pore detox, Chemical Peels to brighten and even skin tone, or Microneedling to boost collagen and improve texture.
Who Should Avoid Dermaplaning?
While dermaplaning works well for many patients, it is not the best option for every skin condition. You may need a different approach if you have:
- Active inflamed acne
- Open wounds or irritated skin
- Certain raised lesions
- Severe skin sensitivity during flare-ups
For some concerns, treatments such as laser skin rejuvenation, medical facials, or microneedling may be more effective. We evaluate your skin carefully during consultation so you receive treatment that matches your condition and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my facial hair grow back thicker?
No — dermaplaning does not change the structure of your hair follicle. Hair grows back just as soft and fine as before.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes — it’s gentle and non-invasive. We’ll assess your skin and make sure it’s a good fit.
Can I do it before an event?
Absolutely — it’s one of our favorite pre-event treatments for smooth, radiant skin.
How often can I do it?
Every 4–6 weeks is typical, depending on your skincare goals.
Is Dermaplaning Safe for Sensitive Skin?
For many patients, yes. Because dermaplaning does not involve acids or heat, it is often tolerated well by patients with sensitive skin. However, your provider will evaluate whether it is appropriate for your skin condition.
