DERMAPLANING

A woman is getting a facial treatment with a scalpel.

Dermaplaning is a technique used to instantly remove dead skin cells that contribute to rough, dull and/or damaged skin. Using a surgical blade, we are able to remove peach fuzz and that layer of dead skin cells at once! This is a tried and true treatment that will leave your skin feeling refreshed, soft and smooth.


Dermaplaning gives the skin a velvety smooth texture and a healthy glow. The dermaplaning treatment is a chemical-free exfoliation, and it will make your makeup application noticeably smoother. Dermaplaning isn’t a permanent solution, but it is an easy and effective way to exfoliate the skin. It usually takes about a month for skin cells to regenerate after treatment, so patients should wait 4 to 6 weeks between dermaplaning sessions.

Benefits of Dermaplaning include:


  • Rejuvenates Skin
  • Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
  • No More Peach Fuzz
  • More Effective At-Home Skincare Regimen
  • Cosmetics Will Go on Easily
  • Cleaner, Smaller Pores
  • Help for Acne Sufferers
  • Gentle and Relaxing
  • Convenient and Quick treatment

FAQ

Have some questions about Dermaplaning? Find the answers below. 

  • HOW DOES DERMAPLANING WORK?

    DURING THIS TREATMENT, SMALL AMOUNTS OF SKIN ARE SCRAPED TO FOOL THE SKIN INTO THINKING IT HAS BEEN INJURED. THE INJURY ALERT LEADS TO COLLAGEN PRODUCTION AND CAUSES THE SKIN TO REGENERATE CELLS, RESULTING IN YOUTHFUL, GLOWING, REFRESHED SKIN.

  • WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR DERMAPLANING?

    AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR DERMAPLANING IS SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO MINIMIZE THE APPEARANCE OF FINE LINES, BLEMISHES, AND PEACH FUZZ ON THEIR FACES, WHILE ALSO IMPROVING THEIR SKIN’S OVERALL HEALTH. PREGNANT WOMEN, PEOPLE WITH SENSITIVE SKIN, AND PEOPLE WHO CANNOT TOLERATE CHEMICALS CAN ALL BENEFIT FROM SCALPEL FACIALS.

  • CAN DERMAPLANING BE PERFORMED ON OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY?

    A SCALPEL FACIAL, OR DERMAPLANING PROCEDURE, CAN ONLY BE PERFORMED ON THE FACE, UNLIKE SHAVING AND WAXING, WHICH CAN BE PERFORMED ALL OVER THE BODY.

  • WILL I HAVE ANY DOWNTIME AFTER A DERMAPLANING TREATMENT?

    A DERMAPLANING TREATMENT DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY RECOVERY TIME, SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO RETURN TO YOUR REGULAR SCHEDULE AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT.

  • WILL MY HAIR GROW BACK DARKER OF THICKER?

    DESPITE THE RUMORS OR MYTHS YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ASSOCIATED WITH THIS, HAIR DOES NOT GROW BACK THICKER OR DARKER. (BUT, IT DOES GROW BACK, SO WE RECOMMEND REGULAR TREATMENTS FOR MAINTENANCE.) YOUR ESTHETICIAN MAY MAKE OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HAIR REMOVAL BASED ON YOUR NEEDS.

  • CAN I APPLY MAKEUP AFTER MY TREATMENT?

    YOU CAN APPLY A GOOD MINERAL MAKEUP, SUCH AS OUR JANE IREDALE PRODUCTS AFTER ANY OF OUR PROFESSIONAL EXFOLIATION TREATMENTS, HOWEVER WE PERSONALLY RECOMMEND ENJOYING YOUR FRESH, NEW SKIN MAKEUP FREE. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT HEALING IS NOT HINDERED AND FURTHER IRRITATION ISN’T NOTED.
