What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a facial in which a sterile surgical blade, held at a careful angle, gently removes the top layer of dead skin cells and the fine, light “peach fuzz” (vellus hair) on the face. Nothing goes into the skin and no chemicals are used. The result is skin that looks brighter, feels smoother and takes make-up more evenly.
Dermaplaning benefits
- Smooth, hair-free skin: peach fuzz is gone straight away.
- Brighter skin: dull dead skin comes off, so the skin reflects light better.
- Better make-up: foundation goes on smoother, without catching on fine hair.
- Skincare that works harder: with dead skin out of the way, serums may absorb better.
- No downtime: about 20 minutes, then straight back to your day.
It is a cosmetic treatment with little research behind it: the effect is real but lasts weeks, not months. It doesn’t treat acne, pigmentation or wrinkles; for those, your doctor suggests a peel, laser or HydraFacial, and dermaplaning can go first in the same visit.
Dermaplaning vs face shaving at home
Face shaving for women with a small razor removes peach fuzz too, and it is fine for many people. Dermaplaning in a clinic goes further: the blade also lifts the dead-skin layer for a smoother, brighter finish, and a doctor checks your skin first. Neither makes hair grow back thicker.
| Dermaplaning | Razor at home | Threading or waxing | Laser hair removal | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Peach fuzz and dull skin | Peach fuzz | Brows, coarse upper-lip hair | Dark, coarse facial hair |
| Lifts dead skin | Yes | A little | No | No |
| How hair goes | Cut at the surface | Cut at the surface | Pulled from the root | Root disabled by laser heat |
| Lasts | About 3–4 weeks | Until the hair grows back | Longer than shaving | Long-term reduction |
Choose dermaplaning for fine hair and a smoother glow. For dark, coarse hair on the upper lip or chin, facial laser hair removal lasts far longer.
Who shouldn’t have dermaplaning?
Please wait if you have an active breakout, a rash, eczema flaring, sunburn or a cold sore on the face. Tell your doctor if you take isotretinoin (Roaccutane) or use strong retinoid creams, or if you have rosacea. Dermaplaning isn’t the answer for dark, coarse facial hair, which grows back quickly as stubble; laser hair removal suits that better.
Your dermaplaning, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor checks your skin and confirms dermaplaning suits it.
- Cleanse: the face is cleansed and dried so the blade glides evenly.
- Dermaplaning: short, light strokes across the face, in about 20 minutes.
- Soothe: a calming serum, moisturiser and sunscreen.
- Repeat: every 3–4 weeks, or a few days before an event.
Results and aftercare
Your skin feels smooth and looks brighter as soon as the session ends. The result lasts about 3–4 weeks, until the fine hair grows back and dead skin builds up again. Your skin may look a little pink or feel slightly irritated for a day.
Aftercare
- No make-up for the rest of the day
- Wear sunscreen every day
- No scrubs, peels or retinoids for 3 days
- No sauna or steam for 24 hours
