What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation treatment designed to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair ("peach fuzz") from the surface of your skin. Using a sterile surgical blade, our skilled providers lightly skim the skin’s surface to reveal a smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking complexion. It’s entirely non-invasive, completely painless, and requires no downtime, making it a favorite for patients seeking a refreshed look with minimal effort.

Am I a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is ideal for patients who want to improve dull or uneven skin without harsh chemicals or extended downtime. If you have dry skin, mild acne scarring, or simply want to remove facial fuzz for a smoother makeup finish, dermaplaning could be the perfect fit. While it's generally safe for all skin types, patients with active acne or very sensitive skin may benefit from a personalized consultation to determine the best approach.

What to Expect During Dermaplaning Treatment

Your dermaplaning session will be quick, comfortable, and deeply refreshing. After cleansing your skin, your provider will use a sterile blade to gently exfoliate the topmost layer. Most sessions last about 30 minutes and are completely pain-free. There’s no need for anesthesia or recovery time, and many patients schedule dermaplaning over a lunch break. You'll leave our office with instantly smoother, brighter skin—no redness or irritation, just a healthy, renewed glow.

Dermaplaning Recovery and Results

There is no downtime after dermaplaning, and results are visible immediately. You may notice your skin feels ultra-smooth and looks more radiant right away. These results typically last up to four weeks, and regular treatments can help maintain your glow over time. For best results, we often recommend combining dermaplaning with a customized skincare regimen or other non-invasive treatments, tailored by Dr. Cappuccino’s experienced aesthetic team.
