What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel to gently remove the top layer of dead skin and vellus hair from the face. This process helps refine texture, smooth roughness, and restore a natural glow while promoting better absorption of skincare products.
It’s a safe, comfortable procedure suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Unlike chemical exfoliants or abrasive scrubs, dermaplaning delivers instant results with zero irritation or downtime — making it a favorite for anyone wanting that “glass skin” effect.
How Does Dermaplaning Work?
During the procedure, your provider uses a precision blade held at a specific angle to carefully glide over the skin’s surface. This controlled exfoliation removes dull, dead cells and stimulates cellular turnover while promoting collagen production.
The treatment typically lasts 30-40 minutes and can be performed as a standalone facial or paired with other rejuvenating services such as chemical peels, hydrafacials, or LED therapy for enhanced results.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your dermaplaning session begins with a gentle cleanse and skin assessment. Once your skin is prepped, the provider will begin the exfoliation process using smooth, feather-like strokes. You may feel a light scraping sensation, but the treatment is painless and relaxing for most clients.
After exfoliation, your skin will be cleansed again and finished with soothing skincare products - including hydrating serums, antioxidants, and sunscreen - to calm and protect your fresh new layer of skin.
You’ll leave the office with visibly brighter, softer, and more radiant skin with no redness, irritation, or recovery time needed.
How to Prepare for Your Dermaplaning Appointment
To ensure optimal results and protect your skin barrier:
- Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least 3–5 days prior to treatment.
- Discontinue use of retinoids, exfoliating acids, or scrubs 3–5 days before your appointment.
- Refrain from waxing, laser, or chemical peels for at least one week prior.
- Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face on the day of your treatment.
- Inform your provider of any recent skin sensitivities, active breakouts, or ongoing acne treatments.
Post-Care Instructions
After dermaplaning, your skin will be more sensitive — treat it with extra care for the next few days:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 3 days and always wear SPF 30 or higher.
- Skip active ingredients such as retinoids, glycolic acid, or benzoyl peroxide for 3–5 days.
- Keep your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer or hyaluronic acid serum.
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation.
- Do not exfoliate or use harsh scrubs for at least one week.
You can expect your skin to feel incredibly soft and smooth, and you may notice that skincare products and makeup apply more evenly than before.
Do’s and Don’ts After Dermaplaning
Do:
- Keep skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer.
- Apply SPF daily — your skin is more sun-sensitive.
- Use mild, fragrance-free cleansers.
- Follow your provider’s post-care recommendations.
Don’t:
- Expose your skin to direct sunlight or heat (saunas, hot yoga) for 48 hours.
- Use exfoliating or active skincare products too soon.
- Pick, scratch, or touch your face excessively.
- Schedule waxing, peels, or laser treatments right after dermaplaning.
How Often Should You Get Dermaplaning?
For best results, we recommend scheduling dermaplaning sessions every 3 to 4 weeks, in line with your skin’s natural cell renewal cycle. Regular treatments help maintain smooth, radiant skin and enhance the long-term benefits of your at-home skincare routine.
