How Dermaplaning Works & What It Helps With

Your skin naturally sheds dead skin cells, but this process slows over time, allowing buildup to accumulate on the surface. This can leave your complexion looking dull, feeling rough, and appearing uneven. Dermaplaning is a precise exfoliation treatment that gently removes this buildup, instantly revealing smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin.

Dermaplaning can help:

Remove dead skin cells that contribute to dullness and rough texture
Smooth dry, flaky skin
Remove fine facial hair (peach fuzz) for a softer, more even complexion
Enhance the absorption and effectiveness of skincare products
Create a smooth surface for more flawless makeup application

Because dermaplaning only exfoliates the outermost layer of the skin, it does not thin the skin or change its natural structure. Instead, it refreshes the skin’s surface and promotes a brighter, healthier-looking complexion.

Many patients include dermaplaning as part of their ongoing skincare routine because of its immediate, noticeable results. Benefits may include:

Brighter, more radiant-looking skin
Smoother, softer skin texture
A more even-looking complexion
Reduced surface dryness and flaking
Improved makeup application
Better absorption of professional skincare products

With little to no downtime and an instant glow, dermaplaning is a popular treatment before weddings, vacations, photo shoots, and other special occasions, or anytime you want your skin to look refreshed and revitalized.

FAQ

Does dermaplaning hurt?

No. Dermaplaning is generally a comfortable, painless treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle scraping or brushing across the skin with little to no discomfort. The procedure is noninvasive, requires no anesthesia, and is well tolerated by most skin types.

Will my hair grow back thicker or darker?

No. Dermaplaning does not cause facial hair to grow back thicker, darker, or faster. The fine vellus hair ("peach fuzz") removed during treatment grows back with the same color, texture, and rate of growth as before. This is a common misconception, and dermaplaning does not alter the hair follicle or change the way your hair grows.

Is there any downtime?

Dermaplaning requires little to no downtime. Some patients experience mild redness immediately after treatment, but it typically fades within a few hours. Most people can return to their normal daily activities right away.

How often should I get dermaplaning?

For most patients, dermaplaning every four to six weeks is recommended to maintain smooth, radiant skin. This timing aligns with your skin's natural renewal cycle and helps keep dead skin cells and fine facial hair from building up. Your provider can recommend a personalized treatment schedule based on your skin type and skincare goals.

Who is a good candidate for dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is an excellent option for most skin types, especially those looking to improve dullness, rough texture, dry or flaky skin, and uneven makeup application. It's also a great choice for patients who want smoother, more radiant skin with little to no downtime. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your skin to determine whether dermaplaning is the right treatment for your needs.

Can dermaplaning help with acne scars?

Dermaplaning can help improve the appearance of superficial acne scars by smoothing the skin's surface and enhancing overall texture. However, it is not intended to treat deeper or more significant acne scarring. During your consultation, your provider can recommend the most appropriate treatment or combination of treatments, such as microneedling, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing, based on the type and severity of your acne scars.

Can dermaplaning be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Dermaplaning is commonly combined with other skincare treatments to enhance overall results. It pairs well with treatments such as HydraFacial®, chemical peels, and customized facials by removing surface buildup and allowing skincare products to penetrate more effectively. During your consultation, your provider can recommend the best combination of treatments based on your skin type, concerns, and aesthetic goals.
