Dermaplaning is a precise aesthetic exfoliation treatment that removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from your face. It can help refresh your complexion to give it improved texture and a natural glow.
At Reflections Dermatology, dermaplaning is performed by trained professionals under the guidance of Dr. Dimitry Palceski, a board-certified dermatologist. Our physician-led approach ensures your treatments at our Orlando or Winter Park locations are safe and tailored to your skin’s needs.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that gently scrapes away the top layer of dull, dead skin cells. Unlike chemical exfoliants or abrasive scrubs, dermaplaning uses a precise blade to physically remove buildup and peach fuzz in one smooth motion. The treatment is performed on clean, dry skin and typically takes 30 to 45 minutes.
Many people choose dermaplaning because it delivers immediate results with no downtime. You’ll notice softer, smoother skin right away, and your skincare products will absorb more effectively in the days that follow.
How Does Dermaplaning Work?
During your session, a trained provider holds your skin taut and uses a sterile surgical scalpel at a 45-degree angle to gently glide across your face.
The blade removes dead cells and fine hair without cutting or damaging the skin. The process is methodical and controlled, targeting areas like your forehead, cheeks, chin, and jawline.
Because the treatment only affects the outermost layer of skin, it doesn’t alter hair growth or cause stubble. The vellus hair that’s removed will grow back at the same texture and rate as before.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your dermaplaning appointment begins with a thorough cleansing to remove makeup, oil, and impurities. Once your skin is prepped, your provider will use light, feathering strokes to exfoliate each section of your face. You may hear a light scraping sound, but the treatment itself is generally comfortable and painless.
After dermaplaning, a soothing serum or moisturizer is applied to calm and hydrate your skin. You can return to your normal activities immediately, though it’s important to wear sunscreen and avoid harsh exfoliants for a few days.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and tones. It’s an excellent option if you want to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, or create a smooth base for makeup. The treatment is also popular before special events because of the instant glow it provides.
That said, dermaplaning may not be ideal if you have active acne, inflamed skin, or certain dermatologic conditions. A consultation at Reflections Dermatology will help determine whether this treatment is right for you.
