At ProDerm Skin & Surgery, we offer dermaplaning as a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment that refreshes the skin’s surface. By carefully removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”), dermaplaning helps reveal a smoother, brighter complexion while enhancing the effectiveness of skincare products.
Treatment Overview
Discomfort: Mild — most patients find the procedure very comfortable.
Recovery Time: Minimal — redness may occur but typically resolves within hours.
Results: Immediate improvement in skin smoothness and radiance.
Benefits
Dermaplaning offers several advantages when performed by a trained professional:
- Provides instant improvement in skin texture and radiance
- Optimizes the effectiveness of general skincare
- Removes fine facial hair for a smoother appearance
- Creates a more even skin tone with a healthy glow
- Safe for most skin types and tones
Who Is a Candidate?
Dermaplaning may be ideal if you are looking for a quick, no-downtime treatment option to brighten and smooth your skin.
Best candidates are individuals who:
- Do not have active acne or open lesions
- Want immediate, subtle improvement in texture and tone
- Understand that treatment may require ongoing maintenance to maximize/maintain results
What to Expect
During Treatment
Dermaplaning is performed with a sterile surgical blade that gently glides across the skin at an angle to remove the outermost layer of dead skin and fine hair. The treatment usually takes about 30 minutes.
After Treatment
Skin may appear slightly pink or sensitive for a few hours but typically requires no downtime. Patients can resume normal activities right away, and makeup can be applied the same day.
Results
Results are visible immediately, with smoother, brighter skin. Maintenance treatments every 4–6 weeks are generally recommended to help sustain results.
Conditions Commonly Addressed
Dermaplaning can help improve:
- Uneven skin texture
- Dull or lackluster complexion
- Fine facial hair
- Mild surface irregularities
