When Your Skin Feels Rough and Looks Dull
A buildup of dead skin cells and fine facial hair can leave your complexion feeling rough and looking lackluster. Makeup may not glide on smoothly, and your skincare products may seem less effective, leaving you wishing for the soft, luminous finish that once came effortlessly.
How Dermaplaning Works
Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade held at a precise angle to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair. This manual exfoliation leaves the skin exceptionally smooth and allows serums and moisturizers to penetrate more effectively. Because it is gentle and non-invasive, it can be performed on its own or before other treatments.
What Dermaplaning May Help Improve
Rough, dull texture
Removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair to reveal smoother, more luminous skin immediately.
Skincare and makeup performance
Enhances absorption of serums and moisturizers and creates a flawless canvas for makeup.
Gentle maintenance
A non-invasive exfoliation method that can stand alone or prepare the skin for other treatments.
What a Dermaplaning Visit Involves
A precise, gentle technique
After cleansing and drying, a sterile blade is gently guided across the skin at a precise angle to remove dead cells and fine hair.
Finished with nourishment
Hydrating and protective products are applied to the freshly exfoliated skin.
Back to your routine right away
You leave with immediately smoother, more radiant skin. Most patients return to their normal routine right away, though sun protection is recommended afterward.
A repeatable rhythm
Because it removes surface cells, dermaplaning is typically repeated every few weeks to keep skin smooth and radiant.
