What Does Dermaplaning Treatment Entail?

During your dermaplaning treatment, a skincare specialist will apply an iodine solution to protect your skin from infection and provide guidance for the treatment. Your specialist will then begin to scrape the blade gently across the skin’s surface, removing fine hairs and dead skin. All of your dermaplaning treatment can be completed in 15 minutes, leaving your skin fresh and glowing.

Am I a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

If you have excess peach fuzz and notice a dull complexion, dermaplaning may be an ideal solution for you. Most skin types can benefit from dermaplaning, but those with very sensitive skin, such as those with rosacea, or those suffering from an acne breakout, may not be good candidates for dermaplaning.

What Results Can I Expect From Dermaplaning?

Most patients report that their faces look “lit-from-within” after dermaplaning, as it results in fresh, clean, glowing skin. Dermaplaning results in a smooth, hair-free complexion, giving it a sheen and allowing makeup to glide more easily onto the skin for a more even look (although you should wait to apply makeup until a day after your treatment). Dermaplaning reveals fresh skin that can absorb facial products more efficiently. After your dermaplaning treatment, you can apply products such as a super-moisturizing hyaluronic acid. Dermaplaning can be used in combination with other therapies to achieve a more comprehensive level of facial skin rejuvenation.

What Can I Expect After Dermaplaning?

After your dermaplaning treatment, you may experience some redness and sensitivity as your new skin is revealed, which typically disappears after a day or two.

You should make sure to wear broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your newly revealed skin and let it breathe by not covering it with foundation or powder for at least a day.

Dermaplaning Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need dermaplaning?

Most patients benefit from dermaplaning every six weeks, which aligns with the skin's natural renewal cycle. Your aesthetician may recommend a different schedule based on your skin type and skincare goals.

Will dermaplaning affect my hair regrowth?

No. Dermaplaning does not cause facial hair to grow back thicker, darker, or faster. Your hair will return with the same texture, color, and growth pattern it had before treatment.

Does dermaplaning hurt?

No. Dermaplaning is a comfortable treatment for most patients. Although a sterile surgical blade is used, you will typically feel only a gentle gliding sensation across the skin without pain or significant discomfort.

Will dermaplaning cause me to break out?

Dermaplaning is unlikely to cause breakouts and may actually help reduce congestion by removing dead skin cells and debris that can clog pores. However, it is generally not recommended for patients with active acne, as the treatment may further irritate inflamed skin.
