Get answers to common questions about Dermaplaning.

Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical scalpel at a precise angle to gently shave away vellus hair and surface dead skin cells. This non-invasive exfoliation instantly smooths texture, brightens complexion, and enhances absorption of topical skincare products without chemical peels or lasers.

Most skin types benefit from dermaplaning, especially dry, rough, or sun-damaged skin. It’s not recommended for active acne with inflamed lesions or very sensitive skin; consult our therapist for a personalized assessment and safe alternative treatments.

Dermaplaning is typically painless and feels like a light scraping. Most clients experience no downtime and may return to normal activities immediately. Minor redness can occur but usually subsides within a few hours; follow post-care advice to protect newly exposed skin.

Yes — dermaplaning pairs well with many treatments such as hydrating facials, LED therapy, and certain gentle chemical peels. Our therapists will customize combinations based on skin condition to maximize benefits while minimizing irritation or overlap in exfoliation.

Avoid exfoliating acids, retinoids, and vigorous scrubbing for at least 48–72 hours. Use gentle cleansers, daily sunscreen with broad-spectrum SPF, and nourishing serums or moisturizers to soothe and protect the fresh skin. Follow any personalized aftercare instructions from your therapist.
