Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Dermaplaning.

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation using a sterile blade to remove dead skin cells and vellus hairs. It instantly smooths texture and brightens the complexion, allowing skincare products and makeup to sit more evenly. Treatments are performed by trained estheticians.

Many skin types benefit from dermaplaning, especially dry or dull complexions. It may not be recommended for active cystic acne, open wounds, or certain inflammatory skin conditions. Our provider evaluates your skin during consultation to ensure safety and suitability.

Results can last three to four weeks, depending on individual skin cell turnover and hair growth. Most clients schedule treatments every four weeks to maintain smooth texture and consistent glow. Your esthetician will recommend a personalized maintenance plan.
