What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic exfoliation treatment that removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells while simultaneously eliminating fine facial hair, often called peach fuzz. By clearing away dead skin, dermaplaning helps prevent clogged pores and breakouts, allowing your skin to breathe and reflect light for a natural, luminous glow.

During a professional dermaplaning session, a skilled aesthetician gently glides a surgical scalpel across the skin, “shaving” away dead skin and vellus hair to reveal smoother, brighter, more youthful-looking skin. While at-home versions exist, professional dermaplaning ensures precision and safety, maximizing results and enhancing skincare absorption.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a quick, painless, and downtime-free treatment with multiple benefits:

  • Smooths and softens the skin

  • Reveals a luminous, radiant glow

  • Makes makeup application effortless and flawless

  • Enhances penetration of topical skincare products

  • Promotes more even skin tone

  • May reduce the appearance of acne scars and fine lines

  • Helps clear clogged pores

  • Safely removes facial hair in sensitive areas such as the upper lip, cheeks, and sides of the face

Unlike chemical peels or abrasive scrubs, dermaplaning physically exfoliates without the risk of irritation or reactions, making it ideal for a wide range of skin types.

The Dermaplaning Process

A typical dermaplaning session takes about 20 minutes and is painless. Here’s what to expect:

  1. Your aesthetician will gently hold the skin taut.

  2. Using a fresh surgical blade at the correct angle, they will remove dead skin cells and fine hair in smooth, controlled strokes.

  3. The results are immediate—skin looks clearer, feels softer, and glows with freshness.

Unlike waxing, dermaplaning only removes hair above the skin’s surface, avoiding follicle trauma or the risk of burns from hot wax. The outcome is smoother, brighter skin without irritation.

Dermaplaning isn’t just a treatment; it’s an instant boost for your skin, delivering a smoother texture, enhanced radiance, and better results from your skincare routine. For anyone seeking effortlessly flawless skin, professional dermaplaning is unmatched.

Dermaplaning is a safe and generally well-tolerated treatment. The key is always to seek treatment with an expert who understands the nuances of the skin, facial hair, and how to properly dermaplane the skin with a sharp, medical-grade blade. While dermaplaning is minimal, it's essential to know nicks and cuts can occur, just like traditional shaving. In addition, exposure to too much sun after treatment increases the risk of hyperpigmentation. Some patients notice small whiteheads or tiny blemishes in the days following a dermaplaning treatment, which often resolves independently. You can treat them with an over-the-counter spot treatment.

The exfoliating and hair removing treatment works for most skin tones and types and for anyone who wants to remove peach fuzz from their face and freshen up their skin. It's also an excellent alternative to more traditional hair removal techniques like waxing and threading and modes of exfoliation such as scrubs. If you suffer from cystic acne, active acne breakouts, rosacea, or eczema, it’s best to schedule a consultation first to determine if you are a candidate for dermaplaning.

No. It's a myth that shaving will cause the hairs to grow back thicker and darker. Instead, you'll stay smooth and fuzz-free for a few weeks, if not longer. Then, when the hair re-emerges, it will be the same color, texture, and density as pre-dermaplaning.

While everyone is different, on average, we recommend dermaplaning as a treatment to do every three to four weeks. However, if your skin starts to look dull and there is noticeable peach fuzz before then, you can opt for the treatment earlier. Conversely, if you can stretch out the results longer, you can schedule your dermaplaning appointments accordingly.
It's essential to keep the skin well protected from the sun after dermaplaning. The more sun exposure it receives, the more likely it is to pigment. That's why it's essential to wear UVA and UVB broad-spectrum sunscreen every day. You can use your regular skincare products after your treatment, although if your skin feels a little sensitive, it's best to hold off for a few days on supercharged actives, like retinol and glycolic acids. Suppose your aesthetician couples dermaplaning with other skin rejuvenating treatments (like a chemical peel); you'll need to avoid exfoliating agents until it is safe to resume using this–you don't want to over-exfoliate the skin. Other things to avoid after dermaplaning are waxing, threading, and other hair removal methods.

It's normal for the skin to emerge a bit pink or red post-dermaplaning, which may last for one to two days. It may also feel a little more sensitive than usual, and certain skincare products may tingle more than usual–if that's the case, stop using them for a few days.
 
Your skin may also feel somewhat dry, which should subside in two days. Minor skin flaking may also occur, which will resolve on its own or with some moisturizer.
