Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is an effective treatment that exfoliates the skin by removing dead skin cells and vellus hair, revealing a smoother, softer, and more radiant complexion. This process enhances product absorption and provides a flawless makeup application.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

This treatment is particularly beneficial for addressing:



  • Dull skin
  • Dry skin
  • Fine lines
  • Acne scars
  • Sun damage


Dermaplaning is an excellent way to refresh your look and minimize unwanted skin imperfections. Our licensed aestheticians will assess your individual needs and recommend an appropriate treatment frequency to maximize your results.


What to Expect During Your Dermaplaning Session


A typical dermaplaning session lasts about 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into your schedule—perfect for a lunch break! The procedure involves a specially designed blade that gently exfoliates the outer layer of dead skin, revealing the healthier skin beneath. Most patients find the process comfortable, and it effectively removes fine hair, creating a smooth canvas for makeup.



By bringing fresh skin to the surface, dermaplaning also prepares your skin for additional treatments, such as chemical peels, which can enhance overall results. Before your session, your aesthetician will discuss any complementary treatments that align with your beauty goals.

After your treatment, we apply soothing serums to aid the rejuvenation process. You might experience slight redness, but this typically subsides quickly.


Results of Dermaplaning

You’ll likely notice immediate improvements in your skin, with full effects visible within a day or two. Results usually last three to four weeks, and treatments can be easily repeated.

Dermaplaning with PRP FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Dermaplaning with PRP at Elle Medical & Aesthetics

  • Is dermaplaning safe for all skin types?

    Dermaplaning is generally safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it may not be recommended if you have active acne, open wounds, or certain skin conditions. During your

    consultation, your aesthetician will assess your skin to determine if it’s the right fit.

  • Will dermaplaning make my hair grow back thicker or darker?

    No. Dermaplaning only removes vellus hair (peach fuzz), which grows back with the same color and texture. It does not affect hair follicles in a way that would change growth.

  • How often should I get dermaplaning?

    Most clients benefit from a dermaplaning session every 4 weeks. This aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle and helps maintain a consistently smooth, radiant complexion.

  • Is there any downtime after dermaplaning?

    There is little to no downtime. You may experience slight redness right after your session, but it typically fades within a few hours. You can resume regular activities the same day.

  • Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?

    Yes, makeup can be applied as early as the next day. In fact, many clients notice their makeup goes on more smoothly and looks more even after dermaplaning.

  • Does dermaplaning hurt?

    Not at all. The treatment is non-invasive and pain-free. Most clients describe it as feeling like a gentle scraping or brushing on the skin.

  • Can dermaplaning be combined with other treatments?

    Yes. Dermaplaning pairs well with chemical peels, Hydrafacials, and custom facials. Removing the outer layer of dead skin allows for better absorption of active ingredients during follow-up treatments.

  • What is the difference between dermaplaning and shaving?

    While both remove hair, dermaplaning is a clinical exfoliation treatment performed by a trained professional using a medical-grade blade. It also removes dead skin cells, which shaving does not.
