Dermaplaning is a gentle, skin-resurfacing procedure that rejuvenates the complexion by exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin and eliminating "peach fuzz." Using a specialized ten-gauge scalpel in the hands of our trained medical staff, dead skin cells and fine vellus hairs are removed, revealing a radiant and silk-smooth surface.
Unlike some treatments that can be harsh, dermaplaning offers a softer approach to achieving youthful skin. Beyond its primary benefits, the procedure enhances makeup application, removal, and optimizes skincare product absorption.

During Your Dermaplaning Procedure
Dermaplaning Aftercare & Recovery Timeline
One of the benefits of dermaplaning is its minimal downtime. However, post-procedure care is essential for optimal results and ensuring your skin heals beautifully. Keep your skincare routine simple for the next few days. Opt for gentle cleansers and moisturizers, and avoid products with strong acids or retinoids.
Your newly exfoliated skin is more susceptible to UV damage. Make sunscreen your best friend, and wear it consistently when venturing outdoors. For the first few days, avoid excessive heat sources like saunas, hot tubs, or direct sun exposure to minimize the risk of irritation.
If you're a swimmer, waiting a week before diving into a chlorinated pool to avoid potential skin reactions is best.

Dermaplaning Benefits
Dermaplaning yields almost immediate results. Smoother, firmer, and healthier skin, with fewer signs of aging and acne scars, are among the most common benefits of dermaplaning. You may also find you can apply makeup more effortlessly, and skincare products are more easily absorbed into the skin.
Many professionals recommend getting dermaplaning every 4-6 weeks, however, it may be longer if you have extremely sensitive skin.
As your youth and vibrancy develop on the outside, your confidence will radiate from within.
