Pro Tips for Dermaplaning

Skip the add-ons for your first visit — dermaplaning alone ($75-$150) lets you see how your skin responds before investing in combo treatments
Dermaplaning + peel is the best combo — removing the dead skin layer first allows the peel to penetrate 200-300% deeper. Better results than either treatment alone
Don't try this at home with razors — professional scalpels (10-gauge) remove vellus hair and dead skin at a precise angle. Facial razors don't achieve the same exfoliation
Sunscreen is critical after — freshly dermaplaned skin burns easily. Use SPF 30+ for 2 weeks minimum after treatment
Apply serums immediately after — product absorption increases dramatically after dermaplaning. This is when your expensive vitamin C or hyaluronic acid works best
Your peach fuzz won't grow back thicker — this is a myth. Vellus hair always grows back the same fine texture. Only terminal (thick) hairs can change, and dermaplaning doesn't affect those

Dermaplaning vs Microdermabrasion vs Chemical Peel

Dermaplaning ($75-$150) uses a scalpel to remove dead skin and peach fuzz — instant smoothness with zero downtime. Microdermabrasion ($100-$200) uses crystals or diamond tip to exfoliate — similar results but doesn't remove hair. Chemical peels ($100-$600) dissolve dead skin chemically — deeper penetration but 3-7 days of peeling. For instant glow before an event, dermaplaning wins. For deeper skin concerns (pigmentation, acne scars), peels are more effective. All three are excellent maintenance treatments between more intensive procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does dermaplaning cost?▼
$75-$150 for dermaplaning alone. $125-$275 when combined with a facial, peel, or LED therapy. Packages of 3-6 treatments save 15-20%.
How often should I get dermaplaning?▼
Every 4-6 weeks, aligned with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle. More frequent than every 3 weeks can cause irritation.
Does dermaplaning hurt?▼
No — it feels like a gentle scraping sensation. There's no numbing needed. It's one of the most comfortable skin treatments available.
Will my hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?▼
No — this is the most common myth. Dermaplaning removes vellus (peach fuzz) hair which always grows back at the same fine texture. It doesn't change hair follicles.
Who should not get dermaplaning?▼
Avoid if you have active acne, rosacea flare-ups, eczema, or very sensitive/reactive skin. It's safe for most other skin types including during pregnancy.
Is professional dermaplaning better than at-home?▼
Significantly. Professional scalpels achieve deeper exfoliation than at-home facial razors or dermaplaning tools. The results aren't comparable — home tools mainly remove peach fuzz without the exfoliation benefit.
