If your foundation catches on peach fuzz, your skin looks dull by late afternoon, or you just want that freshly polished feeling without making a big thing of it, this is a beautiful place to start.
What it is
A Dermaplane Facial is physical exfoliation: a medical-grade blade is swept over the skin to take off the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with the fine vellus hair sitting in it — peach fuzz.
With that surface layer off, what you put on afterwards typically has less in its way, and your makeup has a smoother surface to glide over.
You may see this treatment called a dermaplane, dermablading, derma plane or dermaplaning.
Dermaplaning is typically done by a licensed esthetician. It takes the peach fuzz off at the surface, it grows back, and it is not hair removal or hair reduction. If what you really want is a long-term plan for unwanted hair, start with Laser Hair Removal.
What it does
Dermaplaning is simple, but the finish can be gorgeous. It is for that clean, smooth, makeup-ready surface that makes your skin feel like it finally reset.
The result is baby-soft skin, a brighter complexion, smoother texture, flawless makeup and serious glow.
Your skincare absorbs beautifully, makeup glides on like silk, and your skin feels so insanely smooth you will not be able to stop touching it.
Candidates
Dermaplaning is a good fit when peach fuzz, dullness, rough texture or makeup that will not sit flat is what brought you in. It is one of those treatments where you see the point right away.
You can book it directly, or if you are not sure it is the right service for your skin, you can start with a complimentary skin analysis and we will talk it through first.

What happens
01
Your esthetician looks at your skin first and confirms there are no active breakouts that would need to be worked around. Looking at the skin first is also how anything raised or changing gets spotted before it is worked over.
You can book Dermaplaning directly. If you would rather talk first, book a complimentary skin analysis and we will help you decide whether this is the right day for it.
02
The standalone treatment takes 30 minutes, and no numbing is used. Most people describe Dermaplaning as a light scratching sensation rather than something that hurts.
03
No downtime. No peeling. Just instant results.
The usual advice is to leave acids and retinol alone afterward, to moisturize, and to keep sunscreen on because freshly exfoliated skin is typically more sun-sensitive.
Dermaplaning creates a flawless makeup application.

Honest part
Dermaplaning is not ideal for acne. Aside from the fact that if you have lots of active breakouts, we have to skip around them and you are not getting a full treatment, taking that hair off of the face can leave it very exposed and can potentially cause more acne if you do not follow post-care correctly.
Typically, anyone whose skin is actively flaring — eczema, psoriasis, rosacea or dermatitis — is asked to wait until it settles. If you have an active cold sore, the usual advice is to reschedule. Raised or changing moles, freckles, skin tags and other growths are a reason to have skin looked at before anything is worked over them, and if you are on or recently finished a course of acne medication, the usual advice is to tell your provider before booking any exfoliation. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check our FAQ before booking.
Dermaplaning is surface exfoliation. It does not reach what a peel or a laser reaches, and the result is immediate because the surface is coming off, not because a deeper healing response is building over weeks. A blade drawn across skin can nick it, and more is not better with exfoliation; the usual advice is to leave skin time to recover in between.
If acne, congestion or tone is the bigger concern, we may point you toward Facials or Light Chemical Peels instead.
Results
Results are immediate because the treatment removes the surface buildup and addresses peach fuzz right then. Most people walk out and get on with the day, and some skin looks a little pink for a few hours, which usually settles quickly.
There is no single schedule for this. Most people come back when the smoothness wears off, and the plan is set with you at your appointment.
Treatments like this typically do their best work as part of a routine, not instead of one.

The regrowth question
Shaving does not cause hair to grow back thicker or darker, and Dermaplaning will not cause the vellus hair on your face to grow back thicker or darker. Regrowth may feel slightly different because the hair has been cut straight across, but the structure of the hair does not change at all.
That is also why stopping does not change anything. Your hair is not trained by Dermaplaning, and there is no course you have to finish.
Why here
When skin has a lot of active breakouts, we do not simply work around them and take the listed price. We want the treatment you came for, and a blade over inflamed skin is not that.
We put this treatment in the hands of a licensed esthetician. We want the person holding the blade to be trained for the skin in front of them.
“This is my first dermaplaning treatment and I absolutely loved it!… I called a few days prior with questions and they were more than happy to answer them.”
We can book Dermaplaning on its own, and we can also make it part of a longer appointment with a facial. We like that it stacks with other skin work when that is the better fit for your day.

FAQ
ask us anything
No. Dermaplaning will not cause the vellus hair on your face to grow back thicker or darker. The hair is cut at the surface, and the structure of the hair does not change.
Regrowth may feel slightly different because the hair has been cut straight across. That does not mean the hair is thicker, darker or changed at the follicle.
Yes. There is no course to finish and nothing to commit to; one appointment is a complete treatment. If you stop, the hair grows back the way it would have without changing its structure.
Dermaplaning is surface exfoliation, so it will not reach what a peel or laser reaches. It is also not ideal for active acne, and because a blade is drawn across the skin, a nick is possible.
Dermaplaning is not ideal for acne. If you have lots of active breakouts, we have to skip around them, so you are not getting a full treatment, and the skin can be more exposed if post-care is not followed.
In general, done carefully, Dermaplaning is regarded as safe, but it is not a blanket yes for every skin condition. The named risk is nicking the skin, and the usual advice is a fresh, clean blade every time for that reason.
It can be a great surface treatment for smoother-feeling skin, better product penetration, removal of peach fuzz at the surface, brighter-looking skin and flawless makeup application. It reduces the appearance of acne scars and diminishes the look of fine lines, but it is not ideal for active acne.
If peach fuzz, dull surface buildup and makeup texture are what bother you, the treatment can be very satisfying. Dermaplaning is surface exfoliation, so it gives an immediate polished finish rather than a deeper corrective result.
It is included as one exfoliation choice inside the Custom Facial, and it is also a HydraFacial Signature add-on and a Carbon Laser Facial add-on.
Standalone Dermaplaning takes 30 minutes. When chosen inside the Custom Facial, the facial appointment is 60 minutes.
There is no single schedule for this. Most people come back when the smoothness wears off, and your plan is set with you at your appointment.
Most people describe it as a light scratching sensation rather than something that hurts. No numbing is used.
No downtime. No peeling. Just instant results.
Please leave a buffer rather than booking it at the last minute. A blade is drawn across the skin, so as with any shave, a nick is possible.
