What Is Dermaplaning and How Does It Work?
Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade held at an angle to remove dead surface cells and vellus hair, the fine down often called peach fuzz.
Skin is instantly smoother, makeup sits better, and skincare penetrates more effectively. It pairs well with a facial or a light peel.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Instant Smoothness
Immediately softer, brighter-looking skin.
Removes Peach Fuzz
Smoother makeup application and skin texture.
No Downtime
Return to your routine immediately after.
Makeup Sits Perfectly
With vellus hair and surface flaking gone, foundation lays flat instead of clinging.
Instant, Zero-Risk Glow
No heat, no acid, no needles, which makes it the safest way to brighten before an event.
Better Product Penetration
Removing the dead surface layer measurably improves absorption of serums and treatments.
Where We Treat
Myth vs. Fact: Dermaplaning
Myth
“Dermaplaning makes facial hair grow back thicker and darker.”
Hover for the fact
Fact
It does not. Vellus hair is genetically determined in thickness and color, and cutting it at the surface cannot change the follicle. Regrowth feels blunter for a few days, which is where the myth comes from.
Myth
“It's the same as shaving my face at home.”
Hover for the fact
Fact
A single-use surgical blade held at a precise angle by a trained aesthetician is not a razor. Home shaving causes nicks, irritation and ingrown hairs, and misses the exfoliation that makes dermaplaning worthwhile.
Myth
“Dermaplaning will make me break out.”
Hover for the fact
Fact
Removing dead cells and surface debris generally helps congestion. We do avoid dermaplaning over active inflamed acne, since the blade can spread bacteria, and we will reschedule if you are mid-breakout.
