Dermaplaning: Reveal Smooth, Radiant Skin
Dermaplaning is an advanced exfoliation technique designed to remove dead skin cells and unwanted vellus hair, commonly known as “peach fuzz,” from the skin’s surface. This gentle, non-invasive treatment leaves your skin looking brighter, smoother, and feeling refreshed.
At Accent Aesthetics, our dermaplaning treatment provides a deep exfoliation that enhances skin texture, improves the effectiveness of skincare products, and creates a flawless canvas for makeup. It’s the perfect choice for anyone looking to achieve a naturally radiant complexion with minimal downtime.
DERMAPLANING?
Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade to carefully exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells and fine hair. This technique is safe, effective, and suitable for most skin types, excluding those with active or inflamed acne. Because dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation method, it gently resurfaces the skin without the use of any chemicals, making it a great option for those with sensitive skin.
In addition to leaving your skin feeling incredibly smooth, dermaplaning also preps the skin for more intensive treatments, such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or microneedling. By removing the surface layer of dead cells, dermaplaning allows products and treatments to penetrate more deeply, maximizing their effectiveness.
OF DERMAPLANING
Brighter, Smoother Skin
Dermaplaning removes the layer of dull, dead skin cells, revealing a fresh and bright complexion underneath. This instant transformation leaves your skin looking more radiant and feeling silky smooth.
Enhanced Makeup Application
One of the standout benefits of dermaplaning is that it creates an ideal canvas for makeup application. By removing peach fuzz and smoothing out the skin’s texture, dermaplaning allows foundation and other makeup products to glide on more evenly, resulting in a flawless, airbrushed finish.
Improved Product Absorption
With the outer layer of dead skin cells removed, your skin is better able to absorb active ingredients in serums, moisturizers, and other skincare products. This enhanced penetration makes your daily skincare routine even more effective, allowing you to get the most out of your products.
Ideal Pre-Treatment for Other Skincare Procedures
Dermaplaning is often used as a pre-treatment before more intensive procedures like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, microneedling, or laser treatments. By removing surface impurities, dermaplaning allows other treatments to penetrate more effectively, enhancing their overall results.
While both microdermabrasion and dermaplaning are effective exfoliating treatments, they use different methods and offer distinct benefits. Here’s a quick comparison to help you understand which treatment might be best suited for you:
- Exfoliation Technique: Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tipped wand and suction to remove dead skin cells, while dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade to exfoliate the skin and remove fine vellus hair, or “peach fuzz.”
- Suitability for Skin Types: Microdermabrasion is excellent for those looking to address fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and enlarged pores. Dermaplaning, on the other hand, is suitable for most skin types (except for inflamed acne) and is ideal for creating a smooth surface for makeup application.
- Additional Benefits: Dermaplaning removes peach fuzz in addition to dead skin cells, which can enhance the appearance of makeup and improve skin texture. Microdermabrasion focuses on exfoliating and resurfacing the skin but does not remove vellus hair.
Both treatments provide unique benefits, and choosing between them depends on your specific skin concerns and aesthetic goals. Our aestheticians can help you determine which treatment, or combination of treatments, will best meet your needs.
A typical dermaplaning session takes about 30 minutes and is a comfortable, relaxing experience. During the treatment, your aesthetician will use a sterile surgical blade to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface, focusing on areas of dullness or congestion. This precise technique effectively removes dead skin and peach fuzz, leaving your skin smooth and refined.
After dermaplaning, there’s typically no downtime, although some clients may experience mild redness, which usually fades within a few hours. Because the treatment removes the top layer of skin, it’s essential to wear sunscreen afterward to protect your fresh, newly exposed skin from sun damage.

Dermaplaning is an excellent choice for anyone looking to refresh their skin, improve product absorption, and create a flawless base for makeup.
