During a Dermaplaning Facial procedure, a Medical Esthetician, will place a small, sharp and sterile blade on the face at a 45 degree angle. In gentle upward motions, she will work to remove vellus hair (aka peach fuzz), resurface the skin and improve skin texture and tone.

A Dermaplane Facial will exfoliate three weeks worth of dead skin cells for immediately smoother, more radiant and healthier-looking skin. At the same time, the treatment will remove vellus hair (aka peach fuzz) on the face. This dual action will cause your skin care products to penetrate more easily and effectively, as well as for makeup to go on more smoothly and evenly. Further, the treatment will continue working over the next few weeks to accelerate cellular turnover. After a series of treatments, the treatment can:

• Smooth fine lines and wrinkles,
• Help with hyperpigmentation, including to lighten dark marks and age spots,
• Reduce acne scarring and
• Remove fine facial hair entirely.

A Dermaplane Facial every 4-6 weeks is a great way to maintain the health of your skin. We typically recommend beginning with a series of 5-8 sessions for best results. You and your Facialist can determine a schedule of additional sessions, in order to either maintain overall skin renewal or addresss more challenging skin concerns, such as balancing acne prone skin or restoring skin imperfections.

There is typically no downtime following a Dermaplaning treatment. Most clients consider it pain-free and find the treatment easily tolerated. Slight redness may occur immediately following the treatment, which usually dissipates within 1-2 hours. You may return to normal activity following your Dermaplane treatment.

The Dermaplaning tool is a professional blade. That means it’s best to skip the DIY and have a Dermaplane Facial done by a professional Esthetician. Because an Esthetician has gone through training to use the Dermaplane razor, she knows how to best and safely administer the treatment — including how many passes to take over the skin to get the right amount of exfoliation for your skin.

Dermaplaning is often recommended in conjunction with other skin treatments to optimize it’s exfoliating benefit for the skin. For example, a light peel, a facial and a mask with infused oxygen can be added to a dermaplaning treatment for superior results. Our esthetician are trained to analyze your skin and make recommendations about what exfoliating treatments are right for you.
