Dermaplaning continues to be one of the most requested professional skincare treatments and for good reason! This gentle, yet highly effective form of physical exfoliation works by carefully removing built up dead and dry skin cells, along with the fine vellus hairs (often called “peach fuzz”). The result is an instantly smoother, softer, and more luminous complexion that many clients notice after just one session. Because the treatment creates a fresh, even surface, it also helps the skin reflect light more evenly, giving that sought after healthy glow!

One of the biggest benefits clients love is how much better their skincare and makeup perform afterwards. With the barrier of dead skin removed, serums & moisturizers, and other active ingredients can absorb more efficiently into the skin, allowing them to work more effectively. Makeup also tends to glide on more seamlessly, with less patchiness and texture interference.

As a professional treatment, dermaplaning is performed with precision using a sterile surgical blade to safely exfoliate the skin. It is a controlled, gentle procedure when done by a trained provider, designed to minimize unnecessary irritation, breakouts, inflammation, and micro-cuts - issues that can occur when dermaplaning is attempted at home without using the proper techniques or sanitation. A common misconception is that professional dermaplaning is the same as using a small eyebrow or facial razor at home. Both involve removing surface level hair, however the tools and techniques are not the same.

Ultimately, dermaplaning is more than simply removing facial hair. It’s a professional exfoliation treatment designed to safely refresh and smooth the skin. It can be a safe and effective addition to your monthly facial with your favorite Esthetician!
