What is Dermaplaning, and How Does it Work?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells and fine "peach fuzz" (also known as vellus hair) from the surface of your skin. The process is painless and usually performed by a trained skincare professional. 



The result? Smooth, glowing skin that serves as the perfect canvas for makeup and enhances the absorption of your skincare products. Think of it as giving your skin a fresh, new start—minus the downtime.

Top 10 Benefits of Dermaplaning

1. Exfoliation and Radiant Skin 

Dermaplaning works as a deep exfoliation, removing dead skin cells that can clog pores and dull your glow. With these layers gone, your skin appears noticeably brighter and more radiant after just one session. 



2. Smoother Makeup Application 

Say goodbye to uneven makeup! By removing peach fuzz and the texture caused by dead skin, dermaplaning allows your foundation and other products to glide on effortlessly. The result? A flawless, airbrushed finish that feels luxurious. 

3. Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles 

While dermaplaning can't match the effects of anti-aging treatments like Botox, it can soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By promoting healthy cell turnover, it keeps your skin looking youthful and fresh. 

4. Removal of Vellus Hair 

Dermaplaning gently removes peach fuzz, creating a smoother texture. And don’t worry—it’s a myth that removing this hair makes it grow back thicker or darker. (Spoiler alert: It doesn’t!) 

5. Improvement in Skincare Product Absorption 

After a dermaplaning session, your skin is better equipped to absorb serums, moisturizers, and other treatments. This means you're not just pampering your skin, you're maximizing the value of your skincare products too. 

6. Safe for Most Skin Types 

Dermaplaning is suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones. Whether your skin is oily, dry, or even sensitive, this treatment can work for you. However, if you have certain active skin conditions (like acne), consult your esthetician or dermatologist first. 

7. Instant Results 

One of the beauties of dermaplaning is the immediate impact. Unlike chemical peels or other treatments that require recovery time, you’ll leave your appointment with smoother, glowing skin right away. 

8. Enhances the Effectiveness of Other Skincare Treatments 

Planning a facial, chemical peel, or laser treatment? Dermaplaning can be the perfect prep. By removing the surface layer of dead skin, it helps these treatments penetrate deeper and work more effectively. 

9. Painless Process 

Scalpel near your face? It might sound daunting, but the process is surprisingly relaxing. Dermaplaning is gentle, non-invasive, and entirely painless—most clients even describe it as a soothing "me-time" treatment. 

10. Boosts Confidence 

Fresh, glowing skin has a way of making you feel like the best version of yourself. Whether you’re looking for a natural glow or aiming for a red-carpet-ready look, the after-effects of dermaplaning are a huge confidence booster.

Who Can Benefit from Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a versatile treatment and works well for most individuals who want smoother, brighter skin. It’s particularly beneficial for those dealing with dullness, uneven texture, or struggling to find a solution for better makeup application. 



However, if you have active acne, eczema, or rosacea, you might need to delay or skip the procedure. Always consult a professional to determine if dermaplaning is the right fit for you.

How Often Should You Get a Dermaplaning Treatment?

Most skincare experts recommend dermaplaning every 4–6 weeks. This frequency aligns with your natural skin renewal cycle, ensuring your results last and your skin stays consistently fabulous. 



However, the ideal frequency can vary based on your skin's unique needs and how it responds to the treatment. A professional esthetician can provide personalized guidance.

Precautions and Aftercare Tips for Dermaplaning

To make the most out of your treatment, follow these aftercare tips for happy, healthy skin:



• Moisturize and Hydrate: Dermaplaning can leave your skin slightly sensitive, so follow up with a hydrating moisturizer to lock in moisture. 
• Use Sunscreen Religiously: Freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV rays. Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect your glow. 
• Avoid Harsh Exfoliants: Steer clear of scrubs or acids for a few days post-treatment to allow your skin to recover fully. 
• Stay Gentle: Skip makeup for 24 hours and keep your skincare routine simple while your skin adjusts. 

Your esthetician will guide you on additional steps to extend the benefits of your dermaplaning session.
