Dermaplaning removes peach fuzz and the top layer of dead skin with a sterile surgical blade — 45 minutes, $120, and you leave with skin so smooth that foundation sits differently. It's the treatment people book when their makeup keeps looking textured no matter what they do.
A trained esthetician holds a sterile blade at a precise angle and gently scrapes across the surface of the skin. It removes vellus hair (peach fuzz) and dead corneocytes in one pass. It doesn't cut, it doesn't hurt, and there's no blood involved — the sensation is closest to a soft eraser moving across the face.
No. This is the question we're asked most, and the answer is settled: vellus hair grows back exactly as it was. Hair thickness is determined by the follicle, not by how the hair was cut. The blunt tip can feel slightly different for a day or two — that's all.
Dermaplaning isn't right for everyone. Avoid it if you have active inflamed acne or cystic lesions (the blade passing over them spreads bacteria), an active cold sore, or a recent sunburn. If that's you, the Clear Acne Facial is the correct treatment first.
It also pairs well with a European Facial when you want deep cleansing plus a smooth finish in the same visit.
Every four weeks, matching the skin's renewal cycle. Book it three to seven days before a wedding, photo shoot or event — that's the window where skin looks its best.

No. Vellus hair grows back exactly as it was — thickness is set by the follicle, not by cutting. The blunt tip may feel slightly different for a day or two, but the hair does not change in colour or density.
No. It feels like a soft eraser or a light scraping sensation moving across the skin. There is no cutting and no bleeding.
About three to four weeks, which is the skin’s natural renewal cycle. Most clients book it monthly, or three to seven days before an important event.
Not with active inflamed or cystic acne — the blade can spread bacteria across the skin. Clear the breakouts first with an acne facial, then dermaplane once the skin has settled.
