The Treatment

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation in which a trained professional uses a sterile, single-use blade to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine, vellus facial hair, often called peach fuzz.

It is often done on its own or as part of a facial, and can help skin look smoother and allow skin care products to apply more evenly.

Common cosmetic concerns

  • Dull or rough-feeling skin
  • Fine facial hair (peach fuzz)
  • Makeup that does not sit smoothly
  • Preparing skin before a special event

How it works

  • Skin is cleansed and thoroughly dried.
  • Holding the skin taut, the provider uses short, careful strokes with a sterile blade at a shallow angle.
  • Soothing hydration and sunscreen are applied afterward.

Your Visit

Before, during, and after

  1. Before

    A consultation reviews your goals, skin or body concerns, health history, medications, and recent treatments to confirm the service is appropriate for you.

  2. During

    Most clients find dermaplaning painless, with a light scraping sensation. Treatment typically takes under an hour.

  3. After

    Skin may feel smoother right away and may be slightly pink. Avoid harsh exfoliants for a few days, and wear sunscreen daily.

Safety

Risks, limitations, and who should wait

Your consultation reviews your health history to confirm this treatment is appropriate for you.

Possible side effects and limitations

  • Temporary redness or sensitivity
  • Small nicks in rare cases
  • Breakouts or irritation in susceptible skin
  • Increased sun sensitivity for a short time

May not be appropriate if you have

  • Active acne, especially inflamed or cystic breakouts

  • Recent sunburn
  • Isotretinoin use within the past 6 months, or as advised by your provider

Individual results vary. Aesthetic treatments are cosmetic and are not a substitute for medical care. No specific outcome is guaranteed, and some concerns may need a series of sessions or may be better suited to another treatment.

FAQs

Dermaplaning questions

Prefer to talk it through? Call 678-765-0909.

Will my hair grow back thicker?

No. Removing fine vellus hair does not change its thickness or color. It grows back the same.

Is there downtime?

Most clients have no downtime and may notice slight pinkness for a few hours.

How often can I get dermaplaning?

Usually no more than every three to four weeks, so skin can complete a natural renewal cycle.
