Dermaplaning enables patients to exfoliate and renew their skin in an incredibly effective way.
Radiant, smooth, and rejuvenated skin is a universal goal. Dermaplaning, a popular cosmetic procedure, offers a non-invasive solution to achieving a fresh and youthful complexion. With years of expertise in performing these procedures, Dr. Paul Nassif has helped countless people achieve their aesthetic goals with this treatment.
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure designed to exfoliate the skin and remove the fine vellus hairs (peach fuzz) from the face. It is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment that provides patients with smoother, softer, and brighter skin. During the treatment, a sterile surgical blade is gently glided across the skin's surface, exfoliating the outermost layer and removing unwanted hair in the process.
An incredibly delicate procedure, Dr. Nassif’s staff possesses the dexterity to carry out the treatment with expert precision and achieve fantastic results.
The dermaplaning procedure is straightforward and typically follows these steps:
The treatment area is cleansed thoroughly to remove makeup and any other impurities
Using a sterile surgical blade, Dr. Nassif will gently scrape the blade across the skin's surface. This process effectively exfoliates the skin and removes fine facial hair
After dermaplaning, a hydrating serum is applied to the treatment area to soothe the skin and enhance its moisture levels
One of the significant advantages of dermaplaning is the minimal downtime that comes with it. Side effects such as redness and sensitivity are common following the procedure, but these effects usually fade away within a few hours. Makeup can be applied shortly after treatment, and normal daily activities can be resumed.

What skincare should be avoided after dermaplaning?
No. Dermaplaning does not affect the hair follicle, so vellus hair grows back at the same rate, texture, and color as before treatment.
Most patients schedule dermaplaning every three to four weeks, which aligns with the skin’s natural renewal cycle.
Dermaplaning is generally not recommended over active inflammatory or cystic acne, as it may irritate the skin. A provider can recommend alternative exfoliation options.
Yes. Dermaplaning is often combined with services such as HydraFacial, chemical peels, or medical-grade facials to enhance exfoliation and skin radiance.
Temporary redness or sensitivity can occur but usually resolves within hours. When performed by trained professionals, complications are uncommon.
By removing dead skin cells, dermaplaning can improve surface smoothness and allow skincare products to absorb more effectively, contributing to a brighter appearance.
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive treatment, but hormonal changes can increase skin sensitivity. A consultation helps determine whether it is appropriate during pregnancy.
Strong exfoliants and active ingredients should typically be paused for several days, and daily sunscreen use is essential to protect newly exfoliated skin.
