Dermaplaning Skin Exfoliation
Dermaplaning is a skincare treatment that involves exfoliating the skin’s surface by using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape away dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, commonly referred to as “peach fuzz.” This non-invasive procedure is typically performed by licensed estheticians or dermatologists and is gaining popularity due to its ability to reveal smoother, brighter skin.

Here’s a breakdown of the dermaplaning process:
Preparation
Before the procedure begins, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or debris. The esthetician may also apply a gentle chemical exfoliant to further prepare the skin for treatment.
Treatment
The esthetician holds the skin taut and uses a sterile surgical scalpel held at a 45-degree angle to gently scrape across the skin’s surface. This scraping motion removes dead skin cells, dirt, and debris, as well as fine facial hair, leaving the skin feeling smoother and more radiant.
Benefits
- Exfoliation – Dermaplaning effectively removes dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover and revealing fresh, new skin underneath.
- Smoother Texture – By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz, dermaplaning can help improve the texture and tone of the skin, leaving it feeling smoother and softer.
- Enhanced Product Absorption: With the outer layer of dead skin cells removed, skincare products can penetrate more deeply into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness.
- Makeup Application: Many individual s find that makeup applies more smoothly and evenly to the skin after dermaplaning, resulting in a more flawless finish.
Minimal Downtime
Dermaplaning is a relatively quick procedure, typically taking 30 to 45 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area. Unlike more invasive procedures, dermaplaning requires minimal downtime, with most people able to resume their regular activities
immediately afterward.
Post-Treatment Care
Dermaplaning is a relatively quick procedure, typically taking 30 to 45 minutes to complete, depending on the size of the treatment area. Unlike more invasive procedures, dermaplaning requires minimal downtime, with most people able to resume their regular activities
immediately afterward.
Frequency
While the results of dermaplaning are immediate and noticeable, the effects are temporary. To maintain optimal results, many people choose to undergo dermaplaning treatments every 4 to 6 weeks.
It’s important to note that dermaplaning may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with active acne, sensitive skin, or certain skin conditions. Consulting with a qualified skincare professional is recommended to determine if dermaplaning is a suitable option for individual skin concerns and goals.
