Get answers to common questions about Dermaplaning.

Yes, dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and tones when performed by our licensed estheticians using sterile surgical scalpels. It’s not recommended for active cystic acne, open lesions, or certain inflammatory conditions—consultation will confirm suitability and approach.

A standalone dermaplaning session usually takes 30–45 minutes including consultation and aftercare. The treatment itself is quick—about 15–25 minutes—making it a convenient maintenance service or pre-event refresh for immediate brightening and smoothness.

No. Dermaplaning removes vellus hairs at the skin’s surface without affecting the hair follicle. Regrowth returns with the same texture and color. Any perceived coarseness comes from blunt tips on regrown hairs, not true thickening.

You can apply makeup immediately after treatment; however, we recommend waiting about an hour before using active serums or strong exfoliants. Gentle hydrating serums and SPF are encouraged right away to protect and nourish freshly resurfaced skin.

We recommend dermaplaning every 3–6 weeks depending on hair growth and skin sensitivity. Regular maintenance delivers consistent smoothness, improves texture, and enhances product absorption. Your esthetician will customize a schedule based on your skin and goals.

Dermaplaning has minimal downtime. Some clients experience mild redness or sensitivity for a few hours to a day. Avoid heavy exfoliants, retinoids, and direct sun exposure for 48 hours, and follow our aftercare instructions with SPF protection.
