Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment where one of our trained providers uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair (peach fuzz).

Think of it as buffing your skin to a smooth finish — helping products absorb better, makeup applies flawlessly, and your complexion glows naturally.

Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and can help improve:

• • Dull, uneven skin tone
  • Fine facial hair (peach fuzz)
  • Rough or dry skin texture
  • Acne scars (superficial)
  • Sun damage
  • Early signs of aging
  • Clogged pores and congestion

• Instantly smoother skin with no downtime
• Better penetration of skincare products
• Makeup applies more evenly and looks more natural
• Safe for sensitive skin
• Can be combined with other treatments for enhanced results
• Provides a refreshed, radiant complexion

Here’s what you can expect during your treatment:

1. 1. Consultation – We’ll evaluate your skin to confirm dermaplaning is the right treatment for you.
   2. Treatment – Using a sterile blade, your provider gently exfoliates the surface of your skin in small, precise strokes.
   3. Aftercare – We’ll apply soothing products and SPF to protect your fresh new skin.
   4. Results – You’ll see immediate improvement in smoothness and brightness, with results lasting up to four weeks.

Many of our San Diego patients combine dermaplaning with:

• • Hydrofacials (Aqua Clean) – To infuse hydration and nutrients into freshly exfoliated skin.
  • Chemical Peels – To enhance peel penetration and effectiveness.
  • Microneedling – For deeper collagen stimulation.
  • PRP Facials – To accelerate healing and boost glow.

Dermaplaning is safe for most people, including those with sensitive skin. It’s especially beneficial if you:

• • Wear makeup regularly and want a smoother finish
  • Struggle with dull, uneven skin
  • Want a gentle exfoliation without downtime

Patients with active acne, open wounds, or cystic breakouts may need to wait until their skin clears before treatment.

• Laura from Hillcrest said her skin care products felt more effective after dermaplaning.
• Michael from Mission Hills appreciated how smooth his skin looked for professional photos.
• Sophie from North Park combined dermaplaning with a peel and said her skin had “the best glow ever” before her wedding.

Does dermaplaning hurt?
Not at all. Most patients describe it as a gentle scraping sensation that is actually quite relaxing.

Will my hair grow back thicker?
No — the soft peach fuzz grows back at the same rate and texture as before.

How often should I get dermaplaning?
Every 4–6 weeks is ideal to maintain results.

Is there downtime?
No. You can resume normal activities immediately, though we recommend applying SPF since your skin will be more sensitive to the sun.
