Dermaplaning
What is Dermaplaning?
“I can feel a noticeable difference every time I get dermaplaning. My skin feels refreshed and my makeup looks so much better!”
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment that removes the micro-fine top layer of skin and vellus hair, also known as “peach fuzz.” After your dermaplane treatment, your skin will appear smoother, your products will penetrate deeper, and your makeup will glide on beautifully.
Dermaplaning uses a specialized blade to remove dead skin and vellus hairs from the top layer of the skin. If thicker facial hairs are present, laser hair removal may be a better option for you.
Key Benefits:
- Improves surface texture by removing the top layer of dead skin cells and fine hairs
- Reduces acne caused by build-up of dead skin
- Enhances absorption of skin products and makeup
- Helps improve hyperpigmentation
Dermaplaning should only be performed by a professional medical esthetician or dermatologist. At-home dermaplaning kits are not recommended due to the risk of being done incorrectly and potentially damaging the skin.
How to
Prepare for Your Dermaplane Treatment
- Do not wear make-up the day of the treatment.
- Apply moisturizer 1-2 times daily to help decrease the appearance of flaking.
- Do not pick or peel any flaking skin to avoid hyperpigmentation.
- Avoid any topical or over-the-counter medications up to 1 week following your treatment to minimize irritation.

does Dermaplaning cost?
