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 cosmetic procedure that involves gently exfoliating the skin’s surface by using a sterilized surgical scalpel. This process removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (often called “peach fuzz”), leading to a smoother texture and a brighter, more even complexion.
The treatment can help improve the effectiveness of skincare products and create a flawless base for makeup. It’s typically performed by a licensed esthetician and is suitable for most skin types. Dermaplaning can be added to chemical peel sessions and Hydrafacial. It can also be a stand-alone procedure.

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.
