What is Dermaplaning?
-
Dermaplaning is an exfoliation treatment that safely removes the top layer of your skin instantly revealing smooth, clear skin. This treatment consists of using a scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dull dead skin cells and vellus hair, also known as “peach fuzz”.
-
Dermaplaning also allows for greater penetration of medical grade skincare products and smooth makeup application. In fact, Dermaplaning can be used to help prepare skin for more advanced procedures such as chemical peels, DiamondGlow
and laser treatments.

Enhance Your Dermaplaing Results
Using medical-grade skincare before and after your aesthetic treatment can help boost the results of your procedure and promote faster healing! These products are clinically-tested and have higher concentrations of ingredients for increased absorption mechanism in the skin. Think of medical-grade skincare products as a skinvestment that maximizes your aesthetic treatments. The following products are recommended to most Dermaplaning patients. However, we always recommend checking with your provider for personalized recommendations. Purchase them in-store at Aesthetica or online.

ZO SkinHealth Gentle Cleanser
Massage a small amount on damp face and neck AM/PM. Rinse thoroughly. This formulation is gentle enough for post procedure skin to deeply cleanse oil, makeup, and other impurities.
Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral Sunscreen
Apply this sunblock as the last step of your skincare routine alone or under make-up and as needed. This all-mineral sunscreen is tinted and lightweight to hydrate and protect your skin from harmful UVA/ UVB rays while providing a soft, glowing appearance.
SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Gel
As needed, apply 2-3 drops to face, neck, chest, and other areas of the body. This soothing, hydrating gel-serum is anti-bacterial and anti-fungal reducing the risk of breaking out post-procedure. It's formulated with hyaluronic acid plus a blend of botanical extracts including cucumber, olive, thyme, mulberry, and eucalyptus to cool, sooth, and help strengthen the skin barrier. Shop in-store at Aesthetica.
SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Mist
Use twice daily after cleansing and toning, and as needed throughout the day. This hydrating facial mist is both anti-bacterial and anti-fungal reducing the risk of break outs post-procedure. Formulated with a botanical blend of cucumber, thyme, olive leaf, and rosemary extracts sooth, calm, and reduce redness in the skin, while a 6.2% blend of hyaluronic acid and glycerin helps draw and retain water in the skin.
Common Questions
Who is a candidate for dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is recommended for all skin types except those with acneic skin. We recommend patients with deep cystic acne to wait until breakouts are clear before trying this treatment.
What's the difference between dermaplaning and microdermabrasion?
Both dermaplaning and microdermabrasion are forms of physical exfoliation. However, the methods vary. Microdermabrasion sands and suctions dead skin cells while dermaplaning scrapes them off. Another key difference is that dermaplaning removes peach fuzz-like vellus hairs whereas microdermabrasion does not. Both methods are good forms of exfoliation for almost every skin type. Choosing one over the other simply depends on personal preference or recommendation of one of our Master Estheticians.
Is dermaplaning painful?
Dermaplaning is a comfortable treatment that can be compared to a shaving sensation.
Is there downtime?
No. Your skin may be a little pink and sensitive to sunlight after your treatment so we recommend wearing a medical grade sunscreen to help protect you from sun exposure.
