What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a gentle, non invasive exfoliating skin treatment that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz using a precise surgical blade. This process instantly improves skin texture, boosts product absorption, and creates a flawless base for makeup, leaving your complexion noticeably smoother and brighter. Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types, requires no downtime, and is often used to maintain a healthy, youthful looking complexion.

FAQs
Does Dermaplaning hurt?
No, dermaplaning is a completely painless procedure. A specialized surgical blade is used to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface. Most clients describe the sensation as a light, feather-like scraping, with no discomfort. As a non-invasive treatment without harsh chemicals, it’s well-tolerated, even by those with sensitive skin.
Will my hair grow back thicker?
No, dermaplaning does not change the structure of your hair follicles. The fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) removed during the treatment will grow back at the same rate and texture as before—it will not become darker, thicker, or coarser. This makes dermaplaning a safe and effective treatment for maintaining smooth, hair-free skin.
How often should I get this treatment?
For optimal results, dermaplaning is recommended every 3 to 4 weeks, aligning with your skin’s natural regeneration cycle. This will keep your complexion smooth, bright, and free of buildup. If you have specific concerns, such as excessive dullness or congestion, your esthetician may recommend add-on treatments or more frequent visits.
Can I wear makeup after my treatment?
Yes, you can wear makeup, but it’s best to wait at least 24 hours before applying heavy foundation or powders. Your skin will be freshly exfoliated and more receptive to products, so avoiding makeup immediately after the treatment allows your skin to breathe and absorb nutrients from your skincare routine. If needed, opt for light, breathable makeup and avoid harsh ingredients.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
To prepare for your dermaplaning treatment:
- Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning for at least one week prior to your appointment.
- Discontinue use of retinoids, exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA), and harsh skincare products 3-5 days before your treatment to prevent irritation.
- Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin for best results.
What is the downtime and aftercare?
Dermaplaning requires little to no downtime.
Post-Treatment Care:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours, as your skin will be more sensitive. Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is essential.
- Use gentle, hydrating skincare products to keep the skin calm and nourished.
- Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, and active ingredients for about one week.
- Stay hydrated to support healthy, glowing skin.
Is dermaplaning suitable for my skin type?
Yes, dermaplaning is generally safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. It’s particularly beneficial for those experiencing dullness, dry skin, uneven texture, and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). However, individuals with active acne, rosacea, or other inflamed skin conditions should consult with a professional beforehand, as dermaplaning may not be suitable during flare-ups.
