Dermaplaning Facial

Dermaplaning is a professional skin exfoliation treatment that uses a specialized blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, commonly called peach fuzz, from the surface of the face.

By removing this superficial buildup, dermaplaning can help create a smoother skin texture and a brighter overall appearance.

Unlike chemical exfoliation, which uses specific ingredients to encourage the removal of dead skin cells, dermaplaning uses a physical exfoliation technique.

At Skin Excellence Medispa in Aurora, dermaplaning is combined with a customized facial that may include cleansing, extractions when appropriate, and skincare masks selected for your individual skin concerns.

The treatment is designed to improve the appearance and feel of the skin’s surface, although results vary depending on skin type and individual characteristics.

Dermaplaning is a popular facial treatment for individuals interested in improving the appearance and texture of their skin without an invasive procedure.

Smoother Skin Texture

By removing dead surface skin cells, dermaplaning can help the skin feel softer and appear smoother.

Removal of Fine Facial Hair

Dermaplaning temporarily removes peach fuzz from the face, creating a smoother skin surface.

Brighter Looking Complexion

Removing superficial buildup may help reduce the appearance of dullness and give the skin a refreshed appearance.

Smoother Makeup Application

Removing fine facial hair and surface buildup may help foundation and other makeup products apply more evenly.

Personalized Facial Care

At Skin Excellence Medispa, dermaplaning can be accompanied by customized facial masks and skincare recommendations based on your skin’s individual needs.

Because results vary, a professional skin assessment can help determine whether dermaplaning is appropriate for you.

What to Expect During Your Dermaplaning Facial

Your appointment at Skin Excellence Medispa begins with a personalized skin consultation.

Our medical aesthetician reviews your skin concerns, relevant medical history, current skincare routine, and lifestyle factors to determine whether dermaplaning is suitable for your skin.

Your facial may include the following stages.

Skin Assessment

We begin by discussing your skin concerns and evaluating your skin’s current condition to determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

Facial Cleansing

Your skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, surface impurities, and excess oil before treatment.

Professional Dermaplaning

A trained aesthetic professional uses a specialized blade to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface and remove fine facial hair.

Customized Facial Treatment

Depending on your skin’s needs, your facial may include appropriate extractions and customized facial masks. Mask options may focus on hydration, calming the skin, or addressing other surface concerns.

Skincare Recommendations

Following your treatment, our aesthetician provides guidance on caring for your skin and maintaining an appropriate skincare routine at home.

Dermaplaning may be suitable for individuals who want to address dull looking skin, uneven surface texture, or fine facial hair.

It may also appeal to clients seeking a professional exfoliating facial as part of their regular skincare routine.

However, dermaplaning is not appropriate for every skin condition.

People with active inflammatory acne, irritated or broken skin, certain inflammatory skin conditions, or active skin infections may need to postpone treatment or consider alternative options.

What is dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation technique that removes dead surface skin cells and fine facial hair using a specialized blade. It can help improve the appearance of skin texture and dullness.

Does dermaplaning make facial hair grow back thicker?

No. Dermaplaning does not change the structure of the hair follicle or cause facial hair to grow back thicker or darker. As the hair grows back, its blunt tip may temporarily make it feel different.

This is a particularly useful question because the belief that shaving makes hair grow thicker is a common misconception.

Is dermaplaning painful?

Most people experience little discomfort during professional dermaplaning. However, individual sensitivity varies, and temporary redness or irritation may occur.

How often should I get a dermaplaning facial?

Professional dermaplaning treatments are often spaced several weeks apart. At Skin Excellence Medispa, your aesthetician can recommend an appropriate schedule based on your skin type, condition, and treatment goals.

Is dermaplaning good for dry skin?

Dermaplaning may help improve the appearance of surface roughness associated with dead skin cell buildup. However, people with dry or sensitive skin should receive an individual assessment to determine whether exfoliation is appropriate.

Can dermaplaning cause breakouts?

Dermaplaning may cause irritation or aggravate certain skin conditions, especially when performed over active inflammatory acne. A professional skin assessment is important before treatment.

How long do dermaplaning results last?

The visible effects of dermaplaning are temporary. Fine facial hair gradually grows back, and dead skin cells continue to accumulate naturally. Treatment frequency depends on your individual skin needs.

Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?

Your aesthetician can advise when to resume makeup based on how your skin responds to treatment. It may be appropriate to avoid makeup immediately afterward if your skin is irritated or sensitive.

What is the difference between dermaplaning and microneedling?

Dermaplaning removes superficial dead skin cells and fine facial hair. Microneedling uses small needles to create controlled microinjuries in the skin and is intended for different skin concerns. The procedures have different risks, recovery considerations, and treatment goals.
