Book This ServiceWhat Dermaplaning Actually Does
-
Removes dead surface skin
A precise blade angle lifts away the top layer of dull, dead skin cells. Result: instant smoothness and a noticeable brightening effect.
-
Removes vellus hair (peach fuzz)
Makeup sits cleaner, light reflects evenly, and there is no fuzz visible in selfies or harsh light.
-
Dramatically improves product penetration
Serums, masks, and active ingredients absorb 2–3× more effectively into freshly dermaplaned skin — which is why this works so well as a facial opener.
-
Zero downtime
No redness beyond a brief flush, no peeling, no recovery. Most clients head straight back to their day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile, single-use surgical blade held at a precise angle to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. The result is instantly smoother, brighter skin and much better product absorption.
Will my facial hair grow back thicker or darker?
No. This is the most common dermaplaning myth. Vellus hair regrows at the same thickness and color as before. The blade does not change the hair follicle, so growth pattern stays the same.
Is dermaplaning a facial or just an add-on?
Both. Dermaplaning works beautifully as a quick 10-minute standalone exfoliation ($15), but most clients book it as the opening step of a facial — it dramatically improves how well serums and masks penetrate the skin.
Who should not get dermaplaned?
Skip dermaplaning if you have active acne breakouts, cold sores, sunburn, recent retinoid use, or open lesions in the treatment area. We screen for these at the start of every appointment and reschedule if needed.
How often can I get dermaplaning done?
Every 3 to 4 weeks is the typical cadence — one full skin cycle. Doing it more often than that can over-exfoliate.
