Are you noticing that your complexion has become dull, dry, or uneven? If so, you may benefit from the non-invasive treatment of dermaplaning. This treatment is an effective solution to regain a radiant, youthful facial glow, with no downtime.
Dermaplaning is an exfoliating treatment that is done to eliminate vellus hair, AKA peach fuzz, from the face. It is also done to eliminate dead skin cells from the epidermis to correct a dull complexion.
During treatment, your skin will be cleaned, and a sterile surgical blade will gently glide across the skin, removing dead skin cells and vellus hair as it goes. A hydrating moisturizing serum will be applied to the skin after treatment to nourish and protect.
Who is a Good Candidate Dermaplaning?
Patients who are living with dry or rough skin, mild hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, and acne scars can often benefit from dermaplaning. Patients with nickel allergies should not undergo this treatment. A consultation with one of our skin experts can help to best determine if this treatment is right for you.
Dermaplaning Results
There is no downtime needed after a dermaplaning treatment, so patients can feel free to resume their daily activities. Sunscreen should be worn to protect the skin from UV rays. After treatment, patients can enjoy smoother, more radiant skin. Dermaplaning is often repeated within a month when the vellus hair begins to regrow.
In many cases, bumps are a sign of irritated skin, so by avoiding pressing too hard or going against the grain of hair follicles, you should be able to prevent bumps from forming after dermaplaning.
Should I put anything on my face after dermaplaning?
Yes, after dermaplaning is a good time to apply high-quality serums and other lightweight skincare products, as the process will help clear pores and prepare the skin to receive nutrients.
Can I wash my face after Dermaplane?
You should wash your face before dermaplaning and moisturize with serums or oils immediately after, assuming no irritation has occurred.
Does dermaplaning help with acne?
Dermaplaning should not be performed if you have active acne outbreaks, however, it is commonly performed to help reduce the appearance of acne scars, such as icepick scars or similar imperfections.
Can you get dermaplaning if you have sensitive skin?
People with sensitive skin that are good candidates might be eligible for dermaplaning, although the side effects, such as redness and tenderness, might be more pronounced depending on how sensitive the skin is.

Great experience at Faces First! Nadia was super nice and you can tell she keeps up with the latest trends in skincare and is constantly updating her techniques. Had a lovely hydrofacial, light treatment and peel and left feeling glowy and taken care of. Will definitely be back to see her.
