Dermaplaning

Smoother Skin. Brighter Complexion. Instantly Refreshed.

If your skin has been looking dull, feeling rough, or not responding as well to your skincare products as it used to, dermaplaning may be exactly what it needs. This quick, non-invasive treatment manually exfoliates the surface of the skin, clearing away the buildup of dead cells and fine vellus hair that can make your complexion look flat and uneven.

At Elan Med Spa, dermaplaning is performed by licensed aestheticians using precise, professional technique to ensure a safe, comfortable, and effective experience. The result is visibly smoother, more luminous skin with zero downtime.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Gentle Physical Exfoliation with Precise Results

Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade held at a specific angle to carefully remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with fine facial hair. The technique requires a trained hand and a thorough understanding of skin anatomy to be performed safely and effectively. At Elan Med Spa, our aestheticians are fully trained in dermaplaning to ensure every treatment meets the highest standards of care.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types and is especially beneficial for those dealing with dull or uneven tone, rough or bumpy texture, peach fuzz, fine surface lines, or skin that feels congested. It is a great option for clients who want a visible improvement without committing to more intensive treatments. If you are pregnant or have active acne, inflamed skin, or certain skin conditions, your aesthetician will advise whether dermaplaning is appropriate for you at the time of your consultation.

Excellent Preparation for Other Treatments

One of the most underrated benefits of dermaplaning is how well it prepares the skin for other services. By removing the barrier of dead skin and vellus hair, treatments like chemical peels and microneedling can penetrate more effectively, and the results of those services are often enhanced as a result. Your aesthetician can recommend the best combination of treatments for your skin goals.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

A dermaplaning session at Elan Med Spa is straightforward and relaxing. The full treatment typically takes around thirty minutes and involves no discomfort for most clients.
  • Skin is thoroughly cleansed before treatment begins
  • A sterile surgical blade is used with gentle, controlled strokes across the face
  • A calming serum and moisturizer are applied following the treatment
  • Daily SPF is strongly recommended in the days following your appointment to protect the fresh skin that has been revealed

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
This is one of the most common misconceptions about the treatment. Vellus hair, or peach fuzz, has a very fine, tapered structure. Dermaplaning removes it at the surface level, and when it grows back it will feel and look exactly the same as before. The blade does not alter the hair follicle.
Most clients describe the sensation as a light scraping feeling that is entirely comfortable. There is no numbing required, and the treatment is generally well tolerated even by those with sensitive skin.
Most clients benefit from a dermaplaning treatment every three to four weeks, which aligns with the skin’s natural cell turnover cycle. Your aesthetician can recommend a schedule based on your skin type and goals.
Yes, and it is often recommended. Dermaplaning works particularly well when paired with a customized facial, chemical peel, or hydrating mask. Because the surface of the skin is freshly exfoliated, active ingredients in follow-up treatments absorb more effectively.
For the first few days after your treatment, avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, and abrasive scrubs. Keep your skin moisturized and apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily, as freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to sun exposure.
