June Only: Free Consultations + New Rosacea Relief Facial and Buccal Sculpt Facial. Book Now.
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. It leaves the skin immediately smoother, brighter, and more receptive to skincare products. It is safe for most skin types and there is no downtime.
This helps us customize your treatment and ensure the best and safest results for your skin.
• Active acne breakout or inflamed cystic acne.
• Active cold sore or fever blister.
• Sunburn or recent sun damage.
• Open cuts, wounds, or irritated skin.
• Active rosacea flare up.
• Recent facial surgery.
• Accutane use in the last 6 months.
Vellus hair will grow back at the same rate and texture as before. Dermaplaning does not cause hair to grow
back thicker or darker — this is a common myth. Regular treatments every 4–6 weeks will keep your skin
smooth and maintain results.

What to expect:

Do:
• Apply SPF every single day after your treatment — your skin is more vulnerable to sun damage immediately after dermaplaning.

• Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water.
• Let your technician know if you experience any unusual reactions.
Don't:
• No retinol, retinoids, exfoliating acids, AHA, BHA, or vitamin C for at least 5 days after your treatment.

• No heavy workouts, saunas, steam rooms, or anything that causes heavy sweating for 24 hours.
• No makeup for at least 12 hours after your treatment if possible. If you must wear makeup, use clean brushes and non-comedogenic products only.
• No waxing, threading, or facial hair removal for at least 2 weeks after your treatment.
