How Dermaplaning Works and Why Your Skin Will Love It

1Research Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical scalpel held at a 45-degree angle to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). This creates an immediately smoother, brighter complexion and allows skincare products to penetrate better. It's one of the simplest yet most satisfying medspa treatments — patients love the instant smoothness. Dermaplaning is often combined with chemical peels, HydraFacials, or other treatments for enhanced results.

Who Is It For?

Anyone wanting smoother skin, better product absorption, or peach fuzz removal. Safe for pregnant women.

2Find a Qualified Provider

The quality of your Dermaplaning results depends heavily on your provider's skill and experience. Here's what to look for:

• • Board-certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon, or trained aesthetician
• • Extensive before-and-after portfolio for Dermaplaning
• • Positive reviews and patient testimonials
• • Proper licensing and clean facility
• • Transparent pricing with no hidden fees

3Book a Consultation

During your consultation, your provider will assess your needs, discuss expectations, and create a personalized treatment plan. Questions to ask:

• • Does hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
• • How often should I get dermaplaning?
