Dermaplane Exfoliation

Dermaplane exfoliation is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) using a precise surgical blade. This manual exfoliation technique leaves the skin instantly smoother, brighter, and more radiant, enhancing the absorption of skincare products and providing a flawless canvas for makeup. Ideal for most skin types, dermaplaning offers immediate results with no downtime, making it a favorite for those seeking a refreshed and polished complexion.

About Dermaplane Exfoliation

What It Is

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique performed by a trained provider using a sterile scalpel to gently glide across the skin. This process removes the outermost layer of dull, dead skin cells along with fine facial hair, helping to reduce the appearance of rough texture, dry patches, and minor discoloration. The result is a more radiant, even skin tone—ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

How It Works

A surgical-grade blade is carefully swept across the skin at a precise angle to slough off built-up debris and hair. Unlike other exfoliating methods, dermaplaning is completely chemical-free and doesn’t rely on suction or crystals, making it a safe option for most skin types. The immediate result is a smoother texture and a clean surface that allows serums and moisturizers to penetrate more deeply.

What to Expect

Preparation: Your provider will begin by cleansing your skin thoroughly and assessing your skin type to ensure it’s prepped for treatment.

Treatment: During the procedure, you may feel a light scraping sensation as the blade passes over your skin. The treatment is painless and often described as relaxing.

Post-Treatment: Your skin will feel incredibly soft and smooth immediately after. There's no redness or irritation for most clients, allowing you to return to your daily routine right away. Avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF to protect your newly exfoliated skin.

No—this is a common myth. The fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) removed during dermaplaning will grow back at the same rate and texture. It will not become darker or coarser.
There’s virtually no downtime. You may experience a slight flush or sensitivity right after, but this usually fades quickly. You can return to work, errands, or events immediately after treatment.
Dermaplaning instantly improves skin texture and tone, helps makeup apply more smoothly, enhances product absorption, and gives skin a luminous glow. It’s also an ideal prep treatment before other facial procedures.
Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, or harsh treatments for a few days before your appointment. Come to your session with clean skin and inform your provider of any active breakouts or sensitivities.
