Professional Facial Exfoliation
Dermaplaning for Smoother-Looking Skin
Serving Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach and nearby Palm Beach County
Dermaplaning is a hands-on exfoliation treatment that removes surface buildup and fine vellus hair from the face. It is a practical choice when the main goal is smoother texture, a cleaner surface and more even makeup application without using a peel, laser or energy-based device.
Dermaplaning can be booked as a focused standalone treatment or paired with a Signature Facial or DiamondGlow when the skin is appropriate for a combined service.

What Dermaplaning Helps With
A straightforward treatment for surface-level concerns
Dermaplaning is best understood as controlled mechanical exfoliation. Its strongest role is improving how the skin surface looks and feels—not treating every pigment, scar or aging concern.
Visible Peach Fuzz
Fine vellus hair is removed from the treated surface without changing the follicle.
Makeup Sitting Unevenly
A smoother surface may help foundation and complexion products apply more evenly.
Dull-Looking Surface Buildup
Dermaplaning can create a cleaner, more polished appearance by removing surface debris.
Clear Expectations
What dermaplaning does—and what it does not do
Dermaplaning is valuable because it performs a specific job well. It is not a substitute for IPL, laser resurfacing, microneedling or a chemical peel when the concern is deeper in the skin.
01
It is a surface treatment
It removes surface buildup and vellus hair rather than remodeling deeper tissue.
02
It is not permanent hair removal
Fine facial hair gradually grows back because the follicle is not destroyed.
03
It does not make the hair grow back thicker
Removing vellus hair does not change its underlying thickness, color or growth rate.
04
It should not be performed over every skin condition
Active inflamed acne, open areas, infection or significantly irritated skin may require postponing treatment.
Candidacy
A simple treatment still requires a skin check
We look at the current condition of the skin before beginning. A recent procedure, active breakout or damaged skin barrier may change whether dermaplaning should be performed that day.

Your Appointment
What happens during professional dermaplaning
The treatment is methodical and surface-focused. Your skin is prepared, assessed and treated in controlled sections.
Skin Review
We review active products, recent procedures, breakouts, irritation and the goals for the appointment.
Cleansing and Preparation
Makeup, oil and surface products are removed so the skin is clean and properly prepared.
Controlled Dermaplaning
A sterile professional blade is moved across appropriate areas using controlled strokes and consistent tension.
Finishing Products and Instructions
Calming hydration and sun protection are applied as appropriate, followed by instructions for the next several days.
After Treatment
Keep the skin calm while the surface barrier settles
Most clients return to their normal schedule quickly, but recently exfoliated skin can be temporarily more sensitive.
Temporary Pinkness
Mild pinkness, warmth or sensitivity may occur after treatment and usually settles.
Pause Strong Actives
Follow instructions regarding retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs and other potentially irritating products.
Use Sun Protection
Recently exfoliated skin should be protected from unnecessary sun exposure.
Avoid Over-Exfoliating
Do not immediately stack additional scrubs, peels or aggressive at-home exfoliation onto the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before booking dermaplaning
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a professional mechanical exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile blade to remove surface buildup and fine vellus hair from appropriate areas of the face.
Will facial hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
No. Removing hair at the surface does not change the follicle, natural thickness, color or growth rate of vellus hair. The hair gradually returns as part of its normal growth cycle.
Can dermaplaning be performed when I have acne?
It depends on the type and location of the acne. Dermaplaning is generally avoided over active inflamed, cystic, open or infected areas because the treatment may aggravate the skin. We review the skin before proceeding.
Is there downtime after dermaplaning?
Extended downtime is not typically expected. Temporary pinkness, warmth or sensitivity can occur, and recently exfoliated skin should be treated gently and protected from the sun.
Can I combine dermaplaning with a facial?
Yes, when the skin is appropriate for the combination. Dermaplaning may be paired with a Signature Facial or DiamondGlow, but the intensity of the complete appointment should match the condition and tolerance of the skin.
How should I prepare for dermaplaning?
Avoid arriving with significantly irritated, sunburned or broken skin. Tell us about recent facial treatments and active skincare products. You may be asked to pause certain exfoliating or prescription products before the appointment.
How often can dermaplaning be repeated?
Timing varies according to skin condition, sensitivity, hair regrowth and whether dermaplaning is being combined with other treatments. We recommend spacing appointments based on how your skin responds rather than following an automatic schedule.
