DERMAPLANING

About Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic minimally invasive procedure that is used to remove the upper layers of our skin. By removing the top layer of the skin, it allows your skin to be smoother and brighter, as well as allow your skin care products to sink into your skin better. This is done with a surgical blade that is used to gently scrape off the epidermis, our top layer of skin, as well as peach fuzz. Dermaplaning also helps reduce appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections by revealing newer, undamaged skin. This procedure is great if you are looking for refreshed skin with an immediate result.

FAQ's Dermaplaning
WHAT EXACTLY IS DERMAPLANING AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic exfoliation procedure that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from your face. Using a specialized surgical blade, a trained aesthetician gently scrapes the top layer of the epidermis, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. This professional skincare treatment is popular in medical spas across New Jersey for its ability to enhance your complexion and improve product absorption.
​
WHAT ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS OF DERMAPLANING?
Dermaplaning offers multiple benefits for your skin care routine:
-
Removes dead skin cells and facial hair for immediate radiance
-
Creates a smoother surface for better makeup application
-
Helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and hyperpigmentation
-
Promotes collagen production and skin rejuvenation
-
Enhances the effectiveness of other treatments like chemical peels and HydraFacials
​
HOW DOES DERMAPLANING COMPARE TO OTHER EXFOLIATION TREATMENTS?
While both dermaplaning and microdermabrasion exfoliate the skin, they work differently. Dermaplaning uses a blade to remove the top layer of skin and peach fuzz, while microdermabrasion uses tiny crystals or diamond tips. Unlike laser hair removal, the vellus hair will grow back normally, and contrary to common myths, it won't grow back thicker.
​
WHAT SKIN TYPES ARE SUITABLE FOR DERMAPLANING?
Most skin types can benefit from dermaplaning. However, patients with active acne, sensitive capillaries, or inflammatory conditions like rosacea should consult with their aesthetician first. The treatment is particularly effective for those concerned with:
-
Dull complexion
-
Uneven skin texture
-
Fine lines around the eyes and neck
-
Facial hair removal
-
Makeup application challenges
​
