Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Dermaplane Facial.

Most clients experience little to no discomfort during a Dermaplane Facial. The sterile blade gently exfoliates and removes vellus hair, often feeling like light scraping. You may notice mild, short-lived redness, but the procedure is generally painless and well tolerated.

Appointments are generally 45–60 minutes, which includes consultation, cleanse, full-face dermaplaning, enzyme, mask, treatment serum, and SPF application. Exact timing may vary depending on skin concerns, add-ons, or consultation needs.

For most clients we recommend scheduling dermaplaning every 4–6 weeks to maintain smooth texture and prevent vellus hair buildup. Your esthetician will tailor frequency to your skin goals, healing response, and treatment plan for optimal results.

Dermaplaning improves surface texture and can reduce the appearance of shallow scarring, but it does not permanently remove deep acne scars or treat active cystic acne. We may recommend combined therapies like resurfacing or professional acne treatments for long-term results.

Dermaplaning can be safe for many sensitive skin types when performed by an experienced esthetician using gentle technique and appropriate post-care. However, active inflammation, severe rosacea, or open lesions may preclude treatment; consult during your assessment.

After treatment avoid sun exposure, chemical exfoliants, retinoids, and heavy sweating for 48–72 hours. Use SPF daily, gentle cleansers, and hydrating serums to protect your refreshed skin and promote healing.
