What is Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves a physical exfoliation of the skin to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair, also known as "peach fuzz". The procedure is performed using a sterile, surgical scalpel to gently "shave" the skin's surface.
The process helps to remove the topmost layer of dead skin and can help to reveal a brighter and smoother complexion. It can also improve the application of makeup and the absorption of skincare products.

FAQ​
​
Is dermaplaning safe for all skin types?
Yes, dermaplaning is safe for most skin types. However, it may not be suitable for those with active acne, extremely sensitive skin, or very oily skin. Always consult a skincare professional before undergoing this treatment to ensure it's appropriate for your skin condition.
Does dermaplaning hurt?
No, dermaplaning does not typically hurt. The procedure involves a gentle scraping motion on the skin's surface, which most people find comfortable or even relaxing. It's often described as feeling like a light feather brushing across the skin.
​
How long does a dermaplaning session take?
A dermaplaning session typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
Is there any downtime after a dermaplaning treatment?
No, there is typically no downtime required after a dermaplaning treatment. Most people can return to their regular activities immediately after the procedure. However, your skin may be more sensitive to sun exposure and may look a bit red immediately following the treatment, so it's recommended to protect your skin with a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Any minor redness or sensitivity usually subsides within a few hours.​
​
How soon will I see results from dermaplaning?
You should see results from dermaplaning immediately after the procedure. The process of removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz leaves the skin looking brighter and smoother right away. These effects can be enhanced if you follow the procedure with appropriate skincare products, as dermaplaning can also improve the absorption of these products into the skin.
Can I combine dermaplaning with other skincare treatments?
Yes, dermaplaning can often be combined with other skincare treatments. Because dermaplaning effectively removes the topmost layer of skin, it can enhance the absorption and effectiveness of other skincare treatments by allowing them to penetrate deeper into the skin. Common treatments paired with dermaplaning include: chemical peels, facials, microdermabrasion, and laser treatments
