Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that involves scraping off dead skin cells and peach fuzz with a scalpel to leave your face brighter and smoother.
Dermaplaning is a procedure that exfoliates your skin and gets rid of dirt and vellus hair, better known as “peach fuzz.”
It’s different from dermabrasion, where an aesthetician or doctor uses a high-speed, rotating brush to exfoliate the skin. With Dermaplaning, they use a scalpel or a tool called a dermatome. The doctor or aesthetician moves the dermatome, which looks like an electric razor, back and forth to scrape off the top layer of dead skin.
The exfoliation and hair removal can leave your skin brighter and smoother. The treatment may soften fine lines and wrinkles and ease hyperpigmentation, or uneven skin tone. It’s also used to treat deep acne scars. How well it works really depends on your skin type, tone, and medical history.

This technique is safely performed using a blade specifically designed for Dermaplaning. Once the skin is properly prepped, the technician holds the skin taut and gently glides the blade along the skin’s surface at a 45 degree angle.
It is extremely safe when performed by a trained professional utilizing proper methods and tools.
No, this is physiologically impossible. The soft, fine vellus hair will grow back slowly – usually in about 4 weeks.
There are two types of hair that grow on our bodies:
1. Vellus hair is the thin, fine, soft hair that typically covers the entire body.
2. Terminal hair is the course hair that grows on the head, face in men, underarms, legs and pubic areas.
Dermaplaning, waxing, tweezing or any other depilatory form of hair removal, cannot alter the type of hair grown in any given area.
Not if done properly. If done improperly, excessive scraping, nicks and cuts can occur which can cause bleeding. This is why it is very important that all our skin specialists have taken the necessary courses, and are qualified to use the tools and supplies developed specifically for Dermaplaning and have hands-on practice before performing this treatment on clients.
Dermaplaning is performed on the face and sides of the neck. You should not dermaplane the eyelids, throat or chest.
Dermaplaning can be performed every 3 to 4 weeks. Treating the skin in this manner actually removes about 2 to 3 weeks worth of dead skin cells. The technician should allow the skin to complete its normal skin cycle of approximately 28 days before repeating the treatment.
Yes. Dermaplaning is an excellent way to prepare the skin for a chemical peel.
No. When Dermaplaning is performed as a preparation for a chemical peel, the visible exfoliation that the client sees will be a result of the peel solution used in the treatment.
All skin types can benefit from Dermaplaning. Typically, clients over 30 are the best candidates, and will return for regular treatments, as the results will speak for itself.
Clients with active acne outbreaks should not be treated until lesions are healed. Dermaplaning is great for diminishing acne scars but should not be performed during active outbreaks. Clients with bleeding disorders or difficulty clotting should not be treated. Clients with diabetes, not under control by diet or medication, should not be treated. Clients undergoing cancer treatment should not be treated. Clients with active cold sores will need to be rescheduled, and if prone to cold sores should begin to pre-medicate 24 hours prior to receiving a service. Clients with darker skin tones need 2-3 weeks pre-treatment with melanin suppressing home care products and sunscreen.
Yes. We recommend waxing first. Then dermaplane right up to where you left off waxing. We do not dermaplane over newly waxed areas.
