Dermaplaning: The Secret to Softer and Smoother Skin
Fall is finally here, and that means cooler air and the perfect time to refresh your skin! As the temperatures drop, so does the moisture in the air, often leaving your skin dry and lackluster.
Dermaplaning is the ideal solution to bring back a smooth, glowing complexion for the holiday season. This gentle exfoliation treatment removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz, giving you the perfect canvas for makeup and a radiance that’s ready for all those holiday photos!
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment designed to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair, or peach fuzz, using a sterile, surgical-grade stainless steel scalpel. Performed by a trained skincare professional, the procedure involves skillfully gliding the scalpel at a 45-degree angle across the skin’s surface.
While it may sound intimidating, dermaplaning is a safe, gentle, and painless way to achieve smoother, brighter skin with immediate results.
Is Dermaplaning the Same as Shaving?
No, it's not. Dermaplaning is far more than a simple shave! While at-home tools like a tinkle razor or other handheld tools can trim hair, they don’t provide the deep removal of dead skin cells that dermaplaning does.
Dermaplaning is done with a sterile, surgical-grade stainless steel blade by a trained professional, focusing on exfoliation first and hair removal second. This not only gives a smoother finish but also helps prevent irritation, inflammation, and breakouts that can sometimes follow at-home shaving.
Dermaplaning vs Dermabrasion
Both dermaplaning and dermabrasion are fantastic exfoliation methods that keep your skin fresh and youthful, but they offer different benefits. Dermaplaning focuses on surface-level exfoliation and hair removal, making it ideal for a smooth texture and flawless makeup application.
In contrast, our signature facial includes dermabrasion, an intensive exfoliation for deeper resurfacing. Each treatment is effective on its own, and together, they provide a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation, enhancing both surface smoothness and deeper renewal.
How Long Do Dermaplaning Results Last?
Dermaplaning can be done every three to six weeks, depending on your hair growth. It doesn’t need strict maintenance — you can schedule it regularly or just before a special event for that extra glow. But be warned: you might get hooked and want it done every month!

Prepping for a Dermaplaning Treatment
No special preparation is required, but to ensure the best results, avoid other exfoliating treatments or chemical peels a few days prior to your appointment.
