How It Works
Understandingdermaplaning.
Dermaplaning is an exfoliating treatment: a provider passes a small, sterile blade lightly over the skin to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the surface.
Removing that surface layer can leave skin feeling softer and looking a little smoother and brighter. The effect is temporary — hair grows back, and skin continues to renew itself — so some people choose to repeat it over time.
Dermaplaning is one specific technique. A signature facial is a broader skincare appointment tailored to your skin, and a chemical peel uses a solution, rather than a blade, to remove outer layers of skin. Any facial steps offered alongside dermaplaning here are explained at your consultation.
Commonly discussed at consultation
- What you would like to change about how your skin looks or feels
- Any acne breakouts, eczema, cold sores or other active skin issues
- Sensitivity and the skincare products you use
- Recent treatments, and how your skin has responded to exfoliation before
Concerns & Suitability
What dermaplaning is used for.
People often ask about dermaplaning when they would like:
- Skin that looks dull to feel smoother and brighter
- Less visible peach fuzz on the face
- A gentle physical exfoliation
- A smoother surface before applying skincare or makeup
Suitability is individual
Dermaplaning lightly disrupts the skin barrier, so skin may feel irritated for a short time afterwards, and a nick can lead to infection. It is generally avoided during an acne breakout — where it can aggravate existing acne or contribute to more — or with eczema, cold sores, rashes or other active skin issues. Sensitive skin, the products you use and recent treatments all affect whether it suits you, so your provider assesses your skin first.

General information drawn from published guidance, alongside how the facial works here. Your provider confirms what applies to you.
View All FAQsShaving removes hair. Dermaplaning uses a small, fine blade to remove both fine vellus hair and dead skin cells from the surface, so it is also a form of physical exfoliation. Other exfoliating treatments work differently — a chemical peel, for example, uses a solution to remove outer layers of skin. Your provider can explain which approach suits your skin.
No. Trimming hair at the surface has no effect on how it grows. Regrowth can feel a little coarser at first because each hair has a blunt tip, but that is temporary. The hair does grow back, so the effect does not last.
It depends on your skin. Dermaplaning is generally avoided during an acne breakout, an eczema flare-up, cold sores, rashes or other active skin issues. Sensitive skin, the products you use and recent treatments also matter, so your provider assesses your skin before recommending it.
Dermaplaning lightly disrupts the skin barrier, so temporary irritation or redness is possible. A nick can be painful and lead to infection, and treating skin during a breakout can aggravate acne. Wear sunscreen afterwards, and tell your provider about any reaction.
There is no single schedule. Results are temporary, so some people repeat treatment, but your skin needs time to recover in between. Your provider suggests an interval based on your skin and how it responds.
Dermaplaning is the core of the treatment. Any other facial steps are tailored to your skin and explained at your consultation, before you begin.
