Dermaplaning has become one of the most popular skin-prep treatments — and for good reason. It’s a gentle, non-invasive procedure that uses a fine blade to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair — peach fuzz — to instantly reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.
It’s an ideal way to enhance your aesthetic treatment results and leave your skin glowing.
REMOVES PEACH FUZZ FOR SMOOTH SKIN
By removing fine facial hair, dermaplaning creates a soft, even surface. Without peach fuzz, your skincare products can absorb more effectively, and your makeup will apply flawlessly. The smooth texture of your skin allows treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, and laser treatments to work more efficiently.
PRIMES SKIN FOR THE BEST RESULTS
Dermaplaning removes the top layer of dead skin cells, creating a fresh canvas for treatments to penetrate more deeply. When you get a dermaplaning treatment:
- Chemical peels can exfoliate more thoroughly.
- Microneedling can stimulate collagen production more effectively.
- Laser treatments can better target your skin concerns without interference from surface buildup.
When your skin is prepped and clear to begin with, you’ll see more visible, longer-lasting results from any procedure.
GIVES YOU A HEALTHY AND HYDRATED GLOW
Dermaplaning leaves your skin looking brighter and feeling softer. Fine lines appear less noticeable, and your overall complexion takes on a more even and radiant look. These results complement any aesthetic treatment.
Dermaplaning can typically be done every 4 to 6 weeks, since that’s about how long it takes for skin cells to regenerate and peach fuzz to grow back.
CARING FOR YOUR SKIN AFTER TREATMENT
After your dermaplaning session, your skin will feel smooth and refreshed, but also more delicate. To protect your results and keep your complexion glowing, be gentle with your skin. Avoid scratching or picking at your skin, and if possible, avoid applying makeup for 24 hours to allow your skin to breathe. If you do apply makeup, make sure your brushes and applicators are clean to avoid irritating your skin.
When following your daily skincare routine, opt for gentle cleansers free of harsh acids to prevent irritation. Because freshly exfoliated skin is more vulnerable to UV damage, make sunscreen a non-negotiable step in your regimen year-round. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. These aftercare practices are also beneficial following other aesthetic treatments.
