Results and how long they last
Immediately smoother, brighter skin with zero downtime. Results last 3 to 4 weeks as cell turnover gradually catches back up.
What it is
Dermaplaning uses a sterile, single-use surgical blade held at a specific angle to gently shave away the outermost layer of dead skin along with the fine facial hair on top of it. It's a physical exfoliation — no acids, no heat — that removes buildup your at-home skincare can't reach.
Unlike a razor, the blade and technique lift off the top layer of the stratum corneum along with the vellus hair. That's why skin looks noticeably smoother and feels softer after a single treatment. And contrary to the myth, the hair grows back at the same fine, soft texture — it does not come back thicker or darker. Your estheticians Brooke or Tasha customize depth and pressure to your skin type and sensitivity.
What to expect
Appointments take about 30 minutes. After cleansing, your esthetician holds the blade at a 45-degree angle and moves in short, feather-light strokes across your face, avoiding the eyelids, nose, and lips. There's no pain, no downtime, and no peeling afterward. We finish with a hydrating serum and SPF.
You can wear makeup immediately after, though we recommend skipping heavy exfoliants, retinoids, and AHA/BHA products for 24 hours to let the skin settle. Hair regrows at its normal fine texture over 3 to 4 weeks, which is also the point at which most clients re-book for maintenance.
