Dermaplaning Overview
Dermaplaning is a safe, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to exfoliate your skin and remove fine facial hairs (commonly known as peach fuzz). By gently shaving off the outermost layer of dead skin cells, this treatment reveals a smoother, brighter complexion and reduces the appearance of acne scars, pitted skin, and other imperfections.
An aesthetician uses a sterile medical-grade scalpel or an electric device to resurface the skin.
How Dermaplaning Works
Dermaplaning involves using a sterile, surgical scalpel to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hairs, often “peach fuzz.” This precise technique, performed by a trained professional, exfoliates the skin deeply, creating a smoother, brighter, and more radiant complexion. While it might resemble shaving, dermaplaning differs significantly as it uses a specialized blade and specific angles to ensure safe and controlled exfoliation.

Before, During, and After
What To Expect Before a Dermaplaning Treatment
During your consultation in Athens, we’ll assess your skin, discuss your cosmetic concerns, and ensure this treatment is the right fit for you. After evaluating your skin, we’ll also provide personalized recommendations for how often to schedule treatments based on your unique needs.
To prepare for your dermaplaning treatment, discontinue any aggressive at-home treatments, such as retinoids, micro-beads, or alpha hydroxy acid exfoliants, at least 3 days prior to your appointment. This will help prevent over-exfoliation. It’s also best to avoid excessive sun exposure for a few days before treatment, as this can increase skin sensitivity.
What To Expect During a Dermaplaning Treatment
During a dermaplaning treatment, a trained professional uses a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, or “peach fuzz.” The process is painless and typically performed on dry skin using precise, feather-like strokes. This allows for deeper exfoliation, smoother and brighter. Beyond the immediate glow, dermaplaning can also enhance the effectiveness of skincare products by improving their absorption and creating a flawless canvas for makeup application. The treatment is non-invasive, quick, and suitable for most skin types, making it a popular option for those looking to refresh and rejuvenate their complexion.
What To Expect After a Dermaplaning Treatment
After a dermaplaning procedure, your skin may appear red, slightly swollen, and feel tender. To soothe and protect it, keep your skin hydrated, avoid direct sun exposure, and apply sunscreen diligently.

Unlike chemical exfoliation, which utilizes acids to remove the outer layers of skin, or physical exfoliants like scrubs, dermaplaning offers a non-invasive approach that leaves the skin instantly smoother and more radiant. By precisely targeting the skin’s surface, dermaplaning enhances texture, allows for better absorption of skincare products, and creates a flawless base for makeup application, making it a preferred option for immediate results with minimal downtime.
What are the benefits of dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is an effective treatment that enhances your skin’s natural beauty. Your complexion becomes smooth, glowing, and rejuvenated by gently exfoliating dead skin cells. This process improves skin texture and promotes a radiant, healthy appearance.
How often should I get dermaplaning treatments?
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliating treatment that can be done every three to four weeks to maintain smooth, radiant skin. This schedule aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle, ensuring dead skin cells and peach fuzz are effectively removed without over-exfoliating. However, the frequency can depend on your skin type and individual needs; those with sensitive skin may benefit from spacing sessions further apart, while others might enjoy the results closer to the three-week mark.
Will dermaplaning make my hair grow back thicker or darker?
Dermaplaning will not make your hair grow back thicker or darker. The procedure removes dead skin cells and fine peach fuzz from the surface of your skin using a sterile blade, but it does not affect the structure or growth pattern of your hair.
