Dermaplaning FAQ

WHAT IS DERMAPLANING?

Derma­plan­ing is a sim­ple and safe pro­ce­dure that has been around for near­ly 35 years. It is a light shav­ing of facial skin and peach fuzz using a round­ed-tip blade. Your estheti­cian will glide the blade against tight­ly pulled skin for a gen­tle exfo­li­a­tion and removal of fine hair and dead skin, leav­ing you with a smooth and glow­ing complexion.

WHAT ARE THE BEN­E­FITS OF DERMAPLANING? 

As one of the most request­ed ser­vices, there are mul­ti­ple ben­e­fits of derma­plan­ing. Derma­plan­ing is an effec­tive exfo­li­a­tion method and an alter­na­tive for those who do not wish to get facials or chem­i­cal peels. Addi­tion­al­ly, there is no down­time with derma­plan­ing and your skin is able to absorb prod­ucts at a faster rate, leav­ing your skin soft and smooth.

WHO SHOULD CON­SID­ER DERMAPLANING? 

Derma­plan­ing can be done on any skin type. How­ev­er, those with deep acne scar­ring should avoid derma­plan­ing, as it may increase your chance of nick­ing skin if there is sig­nif­i­cant uneven­ness to the surface.

HOW LONG DO RESULTS LAST? 

Derma­plan­ing can last up to six months and treat­ments are typ­i­cal­ly per­formed every six weeks, depend­ing on your skin con­di­tion and your esthetician’s recommendation.

IS DERMA­PLAN­ING SAFE? ARE THERE ANY RISKS? 

Yes, derma­plan­ing is safe when per­formed by a trained estheti­cian. How­ev­er, due to the effec­tive exfo­li­a­tion, your skin will be more sen­si­tive to the sun and there­fore wear­ing a dai­ly SPF is essential.
