Dermaplaning Facial

Dermaplaning Facial

Smooth Away Dullness and Reveal Glowing Skin With Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is one of the most satisfying same-day treatments available, delivering an instantly polished, luminous result that you can see and feel immediately.

At Bella Aesthetica Medical Spa, our dermaplaning facial uses a sterile surgical blade to gently and precisely remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz. The result is skin that is noticeably smoother, brighter, and softer to the touch, with an improved ability to absorb the serums and moisturizers applied afterward. Dermaplaning is pregnancy-safe, requires no downtime, and works beautifully as a standalone treatment or as an add-on to your regular facial routine.

How It Works

How Dermaplaning Reveals Smoother Skin

Dermaplaning works through gentle physical exfoliation using a sterile, single-use surgical scalpel held at a precise angle against the skin. Your esthetician uses light, feathering strokes to remove the dead skin cell buildup and vellus hair from the surface without disrupting the healthy skin layers beneath. This process not only reveals a fresh layer of skin but also significantly enhances the penetration of any products applied afterward, making your serums and moisturizers substantially more effective. The treatment is painless, relaxing, and appropriate for most skin types, including sensitive skin.

Step 01

Your esthetician cleanses the skin thoroughly and ensures the treatment area is completely dry before beginning.

Step 01

Using a sterile surgical scalpel held at a forty-five-degree angle, the esthetician works across the face in gentle, controlled strokes.

Step 01

Both vellus hair and dead skin cells are lifted from the surface, leaving the skin immediately smoother and more refined.

Step 01

Your provider applies targeted serums, moisturizer, and SPF to complete the treatment and protect the freshly exfoliated skin.

Is This Right for You

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is appropriate for most skin types and is particularly popular among clients who want an immediate improvement in skin texture and radiance without any downtime. It is one of the few professional exfoliation treatments that is considered safe during pregnancy.

  • Dull, dry, or flaky skin that needs resurfacing
  • Visible vellus hair that affects makeup application or skin texture
  • Skin that needs enhanced product absorption
  • Pregnant clients seeking a safe, effective exfoliation option
  • Anyone preparing for a special event who wants an instant glow
What You Can Expect

The Benefits of Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning offers a uniquely satisfying result that is visible from the moment your treatment is complete. Beyond the immediate smoothness and radiance, the removal of vellus hair changes the way makeup sits on the skin, the way light reflects from it, and the way your skincare absorbs into it.

Instantly smoother skin texture that you can see and feel the moment your treatment is complete.
Brighter, more luminous complexion as the dull outer layer of dead skin cells is cleared away.
Improved makeup application as products glide on more evenly without catching on fine facial hair or rough texture.
Enhanced skincare absorption, allowing your serums and moisturizers to penetrate more deeply and perform more effectively.
Zero downtime and no peeling or redness, making it a practical treatment option for any time of year.
Aftercare

Dermaplaning Post-Treatment Tips

Dermaplaning requires minimal aftercare, but your skin will be more sensitive and reactive to sun exposure in the twenty-four hours following treatment. A simple, protective approach to skincare immediately after your session will keep your results looking their best.

what to do:

Apply a broad-spectrum SPF immediately after your treatment and continue daily sun protection going forward.

Use gentle, hydrating products on the skin for the first twenty-four to forty-eight hours to support the freshly exfoliated surface.

Take advantage of the enhanced absorption by applying your best serums immediately after treatment while the skin is primed.

what to avoid:

Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least forty-eight hours following your dermaplaning session.

Do not apply retinol, exfoliating acids, or other active ingredients for at least twenty-four hours post-treatment.

Avoid heavy workouts, saunas, or steam rooms on the day of your treatment to prevent irritation to the freshly treated skin.

Before & After Results

FAQ

Any Questions?

What does a dermaplaning facial involve?

Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade held at a precise angle to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the surface of the skin. The treatment is painless, relaxing, and delivers immediate results with no downtime.

Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Dermaplaning is one of the gentler professional exfoliation options and is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin types. Your esthetician will assess your skin before the treatment to confirm its suitability for you.

Can dermaplaning be done during pregnancy?

Yes. Dermaplaning is one of the few professional exfoliation treatments that is considered safe during pregnancy, as it involves no chemical agents or heat-based technology. It is a popular option for expectant clients who want to maintain their skin.

How often can I get a dermaplaning facial?

Dermaplaning is recommended every three to four weeks, which aligns with the skin's natural cell turnover cycle and allows the vellus hair to reach an appropriate length for effective removal.

Will my hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?

No. This is a common myth. Vellus hair, or peach fuzz, does not grow back thicker or darker after dermaplaning. The hair returns at the same texture and color as before because dermaplaning does not alter the structure of the hair follicle.

Can dermaplaning be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Dermaplaning pairs beautifully with a custom facial, chemical peel, or DiamondGlow treatment. Removing the dead skin layer first significantly enhances the penetration and effectiveness of any treatments applied afterward.
