Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a safe and effective procedure used to exfoliate the skin. Our licensed staff uses a straight-edged blade to remove dead skin cells, revealing a softer and brighter complexion. Vellus hair (or “peach fuzz”) is also removed during the procedure. After dermaplaning, patients find that make-up application is smoother and the skin is better prepared to absorb skin care products.
Our Approach
The procedural blade used in dermaplaning can often look intimidating or scary, but it’s actually quite safe and painless. Our staff will take ample time to discuss each step of the procedure to ensure your peace of mind.
How it Works
Dermaplaning achieves its impressive results by scraping vellus hairs from the skin using a medical-grade scalpel. The hair fuzz is gently removed by cutting across the skin, resulting in the disposal of excess skin and hair in a painless and efficacious manner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who should consider dermaplaning?
You’re a good candidate for dermaplaning if you’re eager to get rid of dead skin and peach fuzz. All skin types are receptive to dermaplaning except, in some cases, skin prone to acne. If this describes you, you should wait until your acne breakout clears up before pursuing dermaplaning.
How does dermaplaning work?
Quite simply, dermaplaning starts by cleansing and drying your face, followed by removing make-up, dust, or other debris. One of our skilled aestheticians will conduct the treatment by tightening your skin and then grazing a 10-gauge blade over your face, scraping away the small hair and dead skin cells.
Is it painful?
No. Dermaplaning is a painless procedure that is tolerated extremely well by patients.
