Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning varies in cost from provider to provider, and those in large cities often charge more. However, on average, one session of dermaplaning can cost anywhere from $50 to upwards of $200 per treatment.

To determine the cost of your dermaplaning session, call our office to schedule a consultation where we will put a custom program together to correct your current skin concerns.

Dermaplaning is a safe and generally well-tolerated treatment. The key is always to seek treatment with an expert who understands the nuances of the skin, facial hair, and how to properly dermaplane the skin with a sharp, medical-grade blade.

While dermaplaning is minimal, it's essential to know nicks and cuts can occur, just like traditional shaving. In addition, exposure to too much sun after treatment increases the risk of hyperpigmentation. Some patients notice small whiteheads or tiny blemishes in the days following a dermaplaning treatment, which often resolves independently. You can treat them with an over-the-counter spot treatment.

The exfoliating and hair removing treatment works for most skin tones and types and for anyone who wants to remove peach fuzz from their face and freshen up their skin. It's also an excellent alternative to more traditional hair removal techniques like waxing and threading and modes of exfoliation such as scrubs.

If you suffer from cystic acne, active acne breakouts, rosacea, or eczema, it’s best to schedule a consultation first to determine if you are a candidate for dermaplaning.

No. It's a myth that shaving will cause the hairs to grow back thicker and darker. Instead, you'll stay smooth and fuzz-free for a few weeks, if not longer. Then, when the hair re-emerges, it will be the same color, texture, and density as pre-dermaplaning.

While everyone is different, on average, we recommend dermaplaning as a treatment to do every three to four weeks. However, if your skin starts to look dull and there is noticeable peach fuzz before then, you can opt for the treatment earlier. Conversely, if you can stretch out the results longer, you can schedule your dermaplaning appointments accordingly.

It's essential to keep the skin well protected from the sun after dermaplaning. The more sun exposure it receives, the more likely it is to pigment. That's why it's essential to wear UVA and UVB broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.

You can use your regular skincare products after your treatment, although if your skin feels a little sensitive, it's best to hold off for a few days on supercharged actives, like retinol and glycolic acids. Suppose your aesthetician couples dermaplaning with other skin rejuvenating treatments (like a chemical peel); you'll need to avoid exfoliating agents until it is safe to resume using this–you don't want to over-exfoliate the skin.

Other things to avoid after dermaplaning are waxing, threading, and other hair removal methods.

It's normal for the skin to emerge a bit pink or red post-dermaplaning, which may last for one to two days. It may also feel a little more sensitive than usual, and certain skincare products may tingle more than usual–if that's the case, stop using them for a few days.

Your skin may also feel somewhat dry, which should subside in two days. Minor skin flaking may also occur, which will resolve on its own or with some moisturizer.
