Dermaplaning gently scrapes away dead cells and vellus hair (aka peach fuzz) from your skin’s surface. It creates a smoother texture and diminishes the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.
- Avoid the use of Retin-A and Retinol like products for 1 week prior to treatment.
- Do not use any physical or chemical exfoliation products for at least 3 days after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive form of manual exfoliation which leaves your skin silky smooth. It removes the outermost layer of the epidermis and the vellus hair, also known as peach fuzz, giving your skin a ”baby-like” appearance.
The surface of the skin is exfoliated by gently gliding a sterile surgical blade over the area. After treatment, topical products are applied to enhance hydration. Because the skin is well exfoliated, the penetration of products is improved.
It is recommended to have this treatment done about every 4 weeks which coincides with a normal skin cycle.
Dermaplaning is very safe. Rarely a small area of pin point bleeding may occur.
Dermaplaning does not result in thicker hair. There are two types of hair: vellus and terminal hair. vellus hair, when removed, will grow back to the same size and shape. The coarse hair is called terminal hair and will remain coarse when it grows back. Dermaplaning will remove both vellus and terminal hair but will not change the hair texture or thickness.
The skin may be slightly pink for a few days after treatment and light flaking is to be expected.
