Dermaplane

Smooth, Radiant Skin Without Irritation

Discover the glow-boosting power of dermaplaning—a quick, non-invasive exfoliating treatment that leaves your skin noticeably smoother and more radiant after just one session. Whether you’re dealing with dull skin, peach fuzz, or uneven texture, our dermaplane service at The Spa at Wellington is your go-to solution for luminous skin that looks and feels incredible.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a professional skincare treatment that uses a medical-grade surgical scalpel to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (also known as peach fuzz) from your face. This treatment is safe, non-invasive, and suitable for almost all skin types.

By eliminating the buildup of debris and hair that traps oils and impurities, dermaplaning reveals a fresh, clean layer of skin, instantly boosting brightness and allowing skincare products to penetrate more effectively. Think of it as a reset button for your face.

Benefits of Dermaplane Treatments

Dermaplaning isn’t just about smoother skin—it’s a transformative treatment that elevates your skincare routine, promising a new, radiant you. Here’s what you can look forward to:

  • Smoother, Softer Skin (Instantly!): By gently removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz, dermaplaning reveals a fresh, smooth surface. Your skin will immediately feel softer and look more radiant, giving you that coveted lit-from-within glow. 
  • Diminishes Fine Lines & Acne Scars: Over time, regular dermaplane sessions can help reduce the appearance of shallow acne scars, fine lines, and other surface-level skin concerns. Promoting new skin cell turnover helps support your skin’s natural healing and rejuvenation process. 
  • Even Skin Tone & Texture: Whether you’re dealing with mild hyperpigmentation, sunspots, or rough patches, dermaplaning can help smooth things out, both in tone and texture. It’s a gentle but effective way to refine your skin and boost confidence. 
  • Makeup That Melts into Your Skin: With peach fuzz and texture out of the way, your foundation and other makeup go smoother and stay longer. The results? A flawless, airbrushed finish that enhances your natural beauty. 
  • Reduces Breakouts & Pore Congestion:  By clearing away dead skin and surface debris, dermaplaning helps prevent clogged pores and reduces the chances of breakouts. This makes it an excellent treatment for acne-prone skin, especially when combined with personalized skincare routines.
  • Enhances product absorption: Once the barrier of dead skin is removed, your serums, moisturizers, and active ingredients can penetrate more deeply and effectively. That means your skincare products actually work harder for you— no more wasted products just sitting on the surface! 

Risks and Side Effects

Like any cosmetic treatment, dermaplaning comes with potential risks, although complications are rare. Here’s what to be aware of:

  • Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity (usually temporary)
  • Possible tingling or burning sensation for up to 48 hours post-treatment
  • Rarely, infection or scarring can occur if aftercare instructions aren’t followed properly

Rest assured, our team at The Spa at Wellington follows strict safety protocols and customizes each treatment to your skin’s unique needs, ensuring your comfort and peace of mind.

What to Expect During Your Dermaplane Treatment

Before

Your appointment begins with a personalized consultation. We’ll discuss your skin goals, review your history, and determine if dermaplaning is the best treatment for you. Before and after photos may be taken to track your progress as well.

During

Dermaplaning does not require anesthesia. Using a surgical scalpel, your provider will gently glide the blade across your skin to remove dead cells and peach fuzz. 

The process is gentle and safe; most clients describe the sensation as mild scratching or stinging. The full process can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on your skin and any add-ons.

After

Post-treatment, your skin may feel slightly red or tender, similar to a mild sunburn. Pamper your skin with a gentle moisturizer and SPF.

If you experience discomfort, over-the-counter medication can help—but if symptoms persist beyond a week, contact us or your healthcare provider right away.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Dermaplaning is suitable for almost everyone, including those with:

  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Dull, dry, or sun-damaged skin
  • Actinic keratosis
  • Uneven tone or texture
  • Peach fuzz (vellus hair)

If you’ve ever been told your skin type isn’t a good fit for exfoliation, think again. Our inclusive, customized approach makes this treatment accessible to all.

How Often Should You Get Dermaplane Facials?

We recommend scheduling a dermaplane facial every 3 to 4 weeks to maintain a radiant, smooth complexion. This timing aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle, helping you keep results consistent and long-lasting.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQs) - Dermaplane

Is dermaplaning good for your skin?

Yes! When performed by a trained professional, dermaplaning is a safe and effective way to exfoliate, boost skin radiance, and improve product absorption, all while minimizing irritation and breakouts.

Is dermaplane the same as shaving?

Not quite. While both remove hair, dermaplaning goes further by exfoliating dead skin cells with a surgical-grade blade, leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and more refined than shaving ever could.

How often should you dermaplane?

For best results, we recommend scheduling a dermaplane facial every 3-4 weeks to maintain a radiant glow and support healthy skin cell turnover.

Dos and don'ts after dermaplaning?

Do: Keep your skin hydrated, use a gentle cleanser, and apply SPF daily. Don’t: Use harsh exfoliants or wear heavy makeup for at least 24-48 hours post-treatment.
