Dermaplaning
Wellness Center & Aesthetic Medical Spa in Pleasanton, CA
Dermaplaning
Acne scars, dullness, and other skin imperfections can leave your complexion looking uneven. For those seeking a smoother, more radiant appearance, dermaplaning offers a powerful yet gentle solution. By addressing surface-level imperfections, this treatment helps reveal healthy, glowing skin beneath.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that involves gently scraping away dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) using a sterile surgical blade. The process not only smooths the skin but also encourages cell turnover and allows skincare products to penetrate deeper for better results.
Benefits

- Softens Fine Lines. Reduces the appearance of fine lines and early signs of aging.
- Makeup Application. Creates a smoother canvas for makeup, making it look flawless.
- Non-Invasive. No downtime or recovery is required, making it perfect for a quick refresh.
Treatable Concerns

- Dull Skin. Instantly brightens the skin, giving it a fresh, dewy glow.

- Peach Fuzz. Removes fine vellus hair, leaving the skin smooth and soft.
What to Expect During Treatment
During a dermaplaning session, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a sterile surgical blade will be used to gently exfoliate the skin. The process is painless, and you may feel a slight tingling or scraping sensation as the blade glides across your skin. Most sessions last between 30 and 45 minutes, and there is no downtime, so you can return to your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
How Long Results Can Last
Results from dermaplaning typically last around three to four weeks, depending on your skin’s natural cell turnover rate. To maintain your glowing skin:
- Avoid Sun Exposure. Use sunscreen to protect your fresh skin from UV damage.
- Stay Hydrated. Drink plenty of water and use hydrating skincare products to keep your skin moisturized.
- Gentle Skincare. Avoid harsh exfoliants for a few days post-treatment to prevent irritation.
Is Demaplaning Right for Me?
Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types, particularly those looking to reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, or dull skin. It is a great option for individuals who want non-invasive treatment with immediate results.
