Dermaplane
Dermaplaning is a safe and painless skin exfoliating procedure that helps in removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and the small, fine hairs (called vellus) many refer to as peach fuzz, revealing the fresh, smooth skin beneath. A ten or fourteen-gauge scalpel with gentle, feathering strokes is used by trained professionals to help exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin, treating acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and more. You can expect to see improved skin tone and texture after just one treatment.
Benefits of Dermaplaning include:
- Immediately diminished the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Increases absorption of topical products
- Helps improve mild acne scarring
- Improve skin tone and texture
- Removed Vellus Hair, Known as Peach Fuzz
- Creates healthier, smoother, and more radiant skin
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Promotes healthy circulation
- Helps reduce sun damage
- Lightens dark spots on the face or body

You can expect to see results from treatments that exfoliate your skin for up to a month, or sometimes even longer, depending on how your skin looks.
- Retin-A or other exfoliating creams should not be used 24 to 72 hours (1 to 3 days) before your treatment.
- For at least a week before treatment, avoid sun tanning and tanning creams/sprays.
- You must NOT have recently used Accutane or had laser surgery.
- Prior to undergoing dermaplane, candidates who have recently undergone a chemical peel or other skin treatments, such as a collagen injection, should wait two to three weeks.
- For a few weeks before dermaplane treatment, prospective patients should refrain from waxing or tanning the skin.
- Prep your face and neck for each treatment by washing with a non-oily, non-soap based cleanser.
Following these post-procedure instructions will maximize Dermaplane recovery time and results:
- Make sure the new skin is kept clean and moisturized.
- If necessary, apply anti-inflammatory creams or cold compresses.
- Make sure you use a gentle cleanser.
- Avoid scratching or picking the treated areas.
- For one week, do not use harsh chemicals on the treated skin, rub it, or tan it.
- There may be some peeling in the treated areas, but moisturizer should minimize it.
- Keep out of the sun for at least 7 days after the Dermaplane treatment to prevent UV rays from damaging your skin and slowing down the healing process.
- Sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above should be used by patients who cannot avoid exposure to the sun.
- For 24-48 hours after treatment, avoid glycolic, alpha hydroxy, beta hydroxy, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, and topical acne treatments.
