Exfoliate dead skin cells and peach fuzz

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that exfoliates the top layer of dead skin and fine vellus hair, often called peach fuzz. Using a sterile surgical blade, your provider removes buildup that can dull your complexion. The result is a smoother, more radiant surface that enhances the effectiveness of skincare products. At Vinings Surgery & Hair Restoration Center, dermaplaning is performed with precision, making it a safe option for those seeking softer, more youthful-looking skin without downtime.

Your dermaplaning experience

Consultation

Dermaplaning begins with a one-on-one consultation. During this visit, your aesthetic provider will assess your skin type, address your concerns, and determine if dermaplaning is suitable for you. You’ll also learn how this treatment fits into your overall skincare plan.

Procedure

Dermaplaning is a comfortable procedure that typically takes 30 minutes to complete. Your practitioner will use a sterile surgical blade to gently glide across the surface of your skin at a 45-degree angle. This safely removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair without cutting deeper layers. The treatment is painless and often described as a gentle scraping sensation.

Recovery

There’s no downtime after dermaplaning, making it perfect for a lunchtime glow-up. You may experience redness or sensitivity immediately after the procedure, but this typically resolves within a few hours. You can return to your normal routine right away, but it’s important to wear sunscreen to protect your fresh skin.

Results

You’ll notice smoother, brighter skin immediately after your session. Your complexion will look more radiant, and makeup will apply more evenly. The results typically last about 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your skin’s natural exfoliation cycle. For optimal results, many patients opt to schedule monthly dermaplaning treatments as part of their skincare regimen.

Dermaplaning FAQs

Does dermaplaning cause hair to grow back thicker?

No, dermaplaning does not change the structure of the hair follicle. The fine vellus hair that is removed will grow back at the same rate and texture as before.

How often should I get dermaplaning treatments?

Most patients benefit from dermaplaning every 3 to 4 weeks, depending on their skin’s natural exfoliation cycle. Regular treatments help maintain smooth, glowing skin.

Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?

Yes, you can apply makeup the same day. In fact, many people find that makeup goes on more smoothly and evenly after dermaplaning due to the refined skin texture.

What should I avoid after treatment?

Avoid excessive sun exposure, harsh exfoliants, and heavy active skincare products (like retinoids or acids) for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment. You must always apply sunscreen to protect your freshly exfoliated skin.
