Dermaplaning

Instantly smoother, brighter skin in one session. Professional dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair to reveal a fresh, luminous complexion.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. The result is immediately smoother, brighter skin with improved texture and a more even tone.

By removing the surface layer of dead skin and hair, dermaplaning also allows skincare products and subsequent treatments to penetrate more effectively. It is one of the most popular pre-treatment steps before chemical peels, facials, and laser treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does dermaplaning hurt?
No. Dermaplaning is painless. You may feel a light scraping sensation, but there is no discomfort. No numbing cream is needed.
Will my hair grow back thicker?
No. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (peach fuzz), which grows back at the same thickness and texture. It does not affect terminal hair growth.
How often should I get dermaplaning?
Most patients schedule dermaplaning every 3 to 4 weeks, aligned with their skin's natural cell turnover cycle. It can also be done as needed before special events.
Can I combine dermaplaning with other treatments?
Yes. Dermaplaning is an excellent pre-treatment for chemical peels, HydraFacials, and laser treatments. Removing the surface layer allows subsequent treatments to penetrate more effectively.
Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive skin?
