Dermaplaning

A precise, non-invasive exfoliation that removes dead skin and vellus hair, revealing an exceptionally smooth and radiant complexion.

The Ultimate Smooth Canvas

Dermaplaning is a form of physical exfoliation where a sterile, surgical-grade blade is expertly stroked along the skin to gently remove the outermost layer of dulling dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, commonly known as "peach fuzz." This process is painless, requires no downtime, and delivers immediate results.

By clearing away debris and hair, we reveal the fresh, undamaged skin beneath. This not only results in an instant brightening effect but also allows for significantly deeper product penetration, making your home care regimen more effective. It also creates a perfectly smooth surface for flawless makeup application.

Common Questions

Dermaplaning FAQ

Is dermaplaning actually good for your skin?

Yes, dermaplaning is generally considered good for your skin, as it provides exfoliation, removes vellus hair (peach fuzz), and can improve skin texture and tone. It also enhances the effectiveness of skincare products by removing dead skin cells that block absorption. However, it is not ideal for active acne and should be performed by a professional.

What is the downside of dermaplaning?

Potential side effects include skin irritation, increased sun sensitivity, and breakouts, especially for those with active acne or rosacea. It is not a permanent hair removal solution and carries risks if done improperly. Certain skin conditions can be worsened, so a consultation is essential.

Is dermaplaning the same as shaving?

No. Dermaplaning is a more precise cosmetic procedure performed by a professional using a surgical-grade blade to remove both dead skin cells and fine facial hair for deep exfoliation. Shaving is primarily for hair removal, uses a multi-blade razor, and offers only superficial exfoliation.

Does dermaplaning give you stubble?

No, this is a common misconception. The fine vellus hairs are cut at a blunt angle, which can feel different initially as they grow back, but the hair itself does not become thicker, darker, or more coarse. It returns to its natural soft state.

Do you have to keep dermaplaning once you start?

No, it is a personal choice you can stop at any time. If you stop, your vellus hair will grow back to its original state, and your skin will return to its pre-treatment condition over time. Regular sessions are for maintenance of the results.

How often should you dermaplane?

Typically, a session every 3-4 weeks aligns with the skin's natural cell turnover cycle. However, the ideal frequency depends on your skin type and goals. A professional can provide the best recommendation for your unique needs.
