Exfoliation, taken back to basics

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that extracts the top layers of the skin — the dead cells and the fine, soft hair on your face. It is also called blading, or microplaning.

Your skin meets toxic chemicals, irritants and sun exposure every single day. That leaves its top layer looking sluggish, and it can make you look older than you are. Dermaplaning clears those damaged cells away, so the skin you see in the mirror is the newer skin underneath.

Is it the same as shaving?

The basic concept is similar. A sterile blade is held at a 45-degree angle and drawn gradually across the skin, lifting away dead cells, scar tissue and other debris that make the surface look uneven. What differs is the sterile instrument, the control, and the trained hand holding it.

What can dermaplaning do for your skin?

  • 01

    A smoother surface

    Lifts away dead cells and debris, so the skin surface looks and feels even.

  • 02

    Softer lines and scarring

    Helps reduce the look of small lines and deeper acne scarring over time.

  • 03

    No more peach fuzz

    Removes the fine, soft hair on the face and neck, so makeup sits flat.

  • 04

    Better results elsewhere

    Can increase the efficacy of chemical peels, microneedling, Laser Genesis and acne treatments.

Four steps, one appointment

Dermaplaning is quick, non-invasive and uses no chemicals — so you walk out the same way you walked in, only smoother.

  1. 01

    Consultation

    We look at your skin and confirm dermaplaning is the right fit for the concern you came in with. Complimentary, with no obligation to book.

  2. 02

    Cleanse and prep

    The skin is thoroughly cleansed and dried, so the blade can travel cleanly across the surface without dragging.

  3. 03

    The pass

    A sterile surgical blade is held at a 45-degree angle and drawn gradually across the skin, section by section, lifting away dead cells, scar tissue and fine hair.

  4. 04

    Soothe and protect

    Your skin is calmed and sun protection applied. There is no “downtime” to wait out, so you can head straight back to your day.

Dermaplaning, answered plainly

Still unsure? Bring the question to your complimentary consultation — there is no obligation to book a treatment.

What are the side effects of dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a low-risk procedure. In the hours just after treatment you may notice mild redness, and some people develop whiteheads in the day or two that follow. Infection and scarring are rare, but they do occur.

How much does dermaplaning cost?

Dermaplaning prices range from $75 to $150 and up. We will confirm the cost for your skin and your goals at your consultation, before anything is booked.

Does hair grow back after dermaplaning?

Your hair will grow back exactly as it was before the treatment. If you naturally have darker hairs they can look thinner as they return — though that is often because it is easy to forget what the skin looked like beforehand.

Can dermaplaning ruin your skin?

Not at all. Dermaplaning is a highly effective exfoliating treatment in which a trained aesthetician uses a sterile surgical blade to gently lift away the dead skin cells on the surface, along with the peach fuzz on your face.

Dermaplaning or microdermabrasion — which is better?

Dermaplaning can be done on any skin type, including sensitive skin. Compared with microdermabrasion, which causes pulling, pressure and inflammation, dermaplaning is the more gentle treatment. It helps refine fine lines, wrinkles, mild acne scarring and dry skin.
