What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliating treatment that uses a fine, surgical-grade blade to gently remove dead skin buildup and fine facial hair. By sweeping away the dull surface layer, dermaplaning immediately reveals smoother, softer, and more luminous skin underneath.

This treatment not only enhances the look and feel of your complexion but also improves the absorption of your skincare products and creates the perfect canvas for makeup. Many clients choose to pair dermaplaning with a mild chemical peel, which penetrates even more deeply after exfoliation—boosting brightness, smoothing texture, and delivering an unmistakable glow.

The Pros of Dermaplaning

1. Instantly Smoother Skin:
   Dermaplaning provides immediate results. Your skin feels softer, looks brighter, and makeup applies more flawlessly.
2. Enhanced Product Absorption:
   Without a barrier of dead skin and fine hair, your skincare products can penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
3. Minimal Downtime:
   There’s typically no recovery time. Most clients leave with glowing skin and can immediately return to their daily activities.
4. Complements Other Treatments:
   Dermaplaning primes your skin beautifully for additional treatments like hydrating masks, brightening serums, or light peels, enhancing their effectiveness.
5. Safe for Most Skin Types:
   When performed by a trained professional, dermaplaning is safe for almost all skin tones and types.

The Cons of Dermaplaning

1. Temporary Results:
   The results are immediate but not permanent. To maintain that silky-smooth feel, treatments are usually recommended every 4–6 weeks.
2. Not Ideal for Active Acne:
   If you are experiencing active breakouts, dermaplaning may irritate the skin or spread bacteria.
3. Caution for Sensitive or Reactive Skin:
   Those with conditions like rosacea, eczema, or hypersensitive skin may need to avoid dermaplaning or proceed with extra caution.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

You may be a great candidate for dermaplaning if you:

• Have dull, uneven, or rough-textured skin
• Want a more radiant complexion
• Prefer a gentle form of exfoliation to pair with brightening treatments
• Are looking to improve how your skincare products absorb
• Desire a smoother surface for makeup application
• Are not experiencing active acne, open lesions, or extremely reactive skin

A professional consultation can help determine if dermaplaning is a good fit for your skin’s unique needs.
