Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently exfoliate the surface of the skin, removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly known as “peach fuzz”).
The result is instantly smoother, brighter and more radiant skin with improved texture and enhanced product absorption.
At our clinic, dermaplaning is performed as a professional, medical-grade treatment designed to safely refine the skin’s surface while maintaining skin health and barrier integrity.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment that gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with fine facial hair using a sterile surgical-grade blade.
Unlike chemical exfoliation, dermaplaning provides immediate results without the use of acids or active ingredients, making it suitable for patients who want a quick skin refresh with no downtime.
It is often used as a standalone treatment or combined with other skin treatments to enhance results.

How Does Dermaplaning Work?
-
A sterile blade is carefully glided across the skin at a controlled angle to remove:
-
Dead skin cells from the stratum corneum
-
Fine vellus hair
-
Surface-level debris and buildup
-
-
This controlled exfoliation immediately reveals smoother, fresher skin underneath while also allowing skincare products to penetrate more effectively.
-
The treatment is painless and does not involve any disruption to deeper skin layers.
