What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that removes the top layers of your skin. This procedure aims to make your skin’s surface smooth, youthful, and radiant. It’s also used to remove “peach fuzz,” the short, soft hairs on your face. By aiming a sterile blade at a 45-degree angle and gliding it slowly across your skin, you remove dead cells, scar tissue, and other debris that may be making your skin’s surface look uneven. Your skin is exposed daily to harsh environmental toxins. This can cause the top layer of your skin to appear dull, and it can make you look aged. Dermaplaning clears away damaged skin cells so newer skin cells are what you see when you look in the mirror. Dermaplaning can be used for any skin type and anyone with, acne scars, dull skin, dry skin, sun-damaged skin, and fine wrinkles.
What happens during Dermaplaning?
During a dermaplaning procedure, you shouldn’t feel any discomfort. You may feel a tingling sensation during the treatment. First, you’ll lie down on your provider’s chair in a sanitized, comfortable room. After you are relaxed, your provider will use a manual dermaplaning tool to exfoliate over your skin at a 45-degree angle. This will continue for 15 to 20 minutes, on average, as your provider gently works to exfoliate the skin. After the treatment is finished, your provider will either finish with a mask or this treatment is amazing as an add-on to almost every procedure for maximum results.
What to expect after Dermaplaning?
There is no downtime when it comes down to dermaplaning. You may notice that your skin looks brighter immediately after you are finished with a dermaplaning treatment, but it often takes a few days to appreciate the full results. As any redness subsides, you will be able to see the results more clearly in the days afterward. Results of dermaplaning are not permanent. The procedure clears away up to three weeks’ worth of dead skin cells. After three weeks to a month, your results will have faded. It is very important to wear SPF every day but especially after a dermaplaning session, you will need to be extra careful about sun exposure. Sun damage could reverse the effects of dermaplaning or create pigment blotches on your freshly exposed skin.

The Treatment That Makes Everything Else Look Smarter
Some results shout. Dermaplaning whispers, then steals the whole show. One clean pass across the surface can turn “my skin feels fine” into “why does my face look edited.”
We use a sterile blade, held at a deliberate angle, and we work in controlled, airy strokes. Dead cells lift. The dull film releases. Vellus hair, that soft peach fuzz that loves to catch light in the most unflattering way, glides away with it. The surface looks clearer because it is clearer. The texture feels smoother because the clutter is gone.
Simple concept. Precise execution. That is the difference.
What Dermaplaning Changes, Even When You Cannot Name it
A refined surface changes how your skin behaves. Product stops skidding. Makeup stops clinging. Hydration spreads evenly instead of pooling in some spots and disappearing in others. Under bathroom lighting, you might only see a subtle glow. Under daylight, the shift is louder.
We also see clients fall in love with the “clean canvas” effect. Cheeks look more luminous. The jawline looks crisper. The upper lip area looks softer and less shadowed. Texture that once read as tired starts reading as polished.
Who We Love This for, and When We Slow Down
We often recommend dermaplaning when dryness, dullness, and surface roughness are driving the problem. It can be ideal for clients who feel like they do everything right but still look muted. It can also be a steady maintenance rhythm for mature skin that wants visible smoothness without recovery time.
We stay cautious around active inflammatory acne, irritated rashes, and compromised barrier moments. If the skin is already inflamed, we protect it first. We calm. We rebuild. We choose the next step with intention, because “fast” is not a flex if it creates setbacks.
What Your Appointment Feels Like at SkinEthics
We keep it clean, quiet, and comfortable. We start with a real look at your skin, not a rushed glance. Then we cleanse, prep, and dermaplane with consistent technique. Most clients describe the sensation as light and scratchy in a satisfying way, like a gentle brushing that never turns painful.
We do not chase speed. We chase evenness. We pay attention to contours, pressure, and direction, because the smallest details shape the finish.
Then we finish like we mean it. Hydration. Soothing support. Barrier-friendly products. No harshness. No guessing. We want your skin calm and radiant, not reactive and shiny.
Why Dermaplaning Plays So Well With Other Treatments
Dermaplaning is a strategic opener. When surface buildup is removed, everything layered afterward can feel more purposeful. Masks sit better. Serums spread cleaner. Hydrators feel like they actually arrive where they are supposed to go.
We also love it for clients who want to elevate a treatment day without expanding downtime. When planned correctly, dermaplaning can complement many of our services while keeping the experience easy to fit into real life. We build sequences based on your skin’s behavior, not trends, and we keep the plan ethical, safe, and realistic.
Aftercare That Keeps The Glow Stable
You can go back to your day, but your skin will be freshly revealed. That means sun protection matters more than usual. We recommend SPF daily, and we encourage extra caution with direct sun exposure right after treatment. We also suggest gentle cleansing and steady hydration for the next few days. Think calm routine. Think supportive barrier care. Avoid aggressive scrubs and harsh exfoliants until your skin looks settled and feels comfortable.
Consistency protects results. Impatience can erase them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cost depends on how we schedule your service. Standalone dermaplaning is priced differently than dermaplaning paired with masks, hydration boosters, or other enhancements. During our complimentary consultation, we assess your skin and confirm exact pricing before we begin.
We recommend paying for professional technique, sterile standards, and a provider who can evaluate your skin in real time. Dermaplaning is controlled exfoliation. Skill protects your barrier, improves the finish, and reduces the chance of uneven results.
For many clients, yes. It delivers immediate smoothness, better product layering, and a brighter look that shows up quickly. The value rises when we build it into a consistent plan and pair it with strong home care and smart SPF habits.
Shaving focuses on hair removal. Dermaplaning focuses on precision exfoliation plus hair removal in a sterile, controlled setting. We also evaluate sensitivity, barrier strength, and texture patterns so the approach matches your skin, not a one-size routine.
Vellus hair typically grows back with the same softness because dermaplaning does not change the follicle structure. If the return feels different at first, it is usually because the skin surface is smoother, so new growth is more noticeable.
