Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation technique that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently scrape away the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). The result is immediately smoother, brighter skin with enhanced product absorption and flawless makeup application.
Why Remove Peach Fuzz
Vellus hair traps oil and dead skin, contributing to dullness and clogged pores. Removing it allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively and creates a smooth canvas for makeup. Contrary to myth, dermaplaning does not cause hair to grow back thicker or darker — vellus hair regrows at the same texture.
The Treatment Experience
After cleansing, your esthetician holds the skin taut and uses light, precise strokes with the blade at a 45-degree angle. The sensation is gentle, not painful. The entire treatment takes 20 to 30 minutes, and there is no downtime.
Perfect Pairings
Dermaplaning is frequently combined with chemical peels, HydraFacials, and custom facials. Removing the barrier of dead skin and hair allows these treatments to penetrate more deeply and deliver enhanced results. We often recommend it before special events for an instant glow.
Who Should Avoid It
Dermaplaning is not recommended for active acne breakouts, as the blade can spread bacteria. It is ideal for dull skin, mild texture concerns, and anyone seeking immediate smoothness without downtime.
