What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that uses an exfoliating blade to skim dead skin cells and hair from your face. Dermaplaning aims to make your skin’s surface smooth, youthful, and radiant. It’s also used to remove “peach fuzz,” the short, soft hairs on your face.

Dermaplaning FAQ

Dermaplaning is a method for exfoliating the top layers of dead skin cells by trimming them away with a sterile blade at a 45-degree angle. This technique results in a fresher complexion and smoother skin texture. Dermaplaning is a great add-on to your favorite facial treatment (facial, chemical peel, microneedling, etc.) for that added improvement of the skin.

Dermaplaning results typically last for up to four weeks, after which the natural process of skin cell regeneration resumes, and exfoliation may be needed again.

Dermaplaning increases absorption of topical products, and removes dead layers of skin, giving the skin a healthier, more radiant appearance. It also smooths the skin for application of makeup leaving your skin looking more airbrushed and flawless.

Yes, dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment when performed by a qualified skincare professional at Arsenault Aesthetics. It is suitable for most skin types, excluding those with active acne or highly sensitive skin.

Dermaplaning is a painless procedure as it involves the use of a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently exfoliate the skin's surface, removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair without causing discomfort.

Yes, dermaplaning is suitable for dry skin as it gently removes dead skin cells and promotes a smoother, more radiant complexion. It is important to moisturize and nourish the skin after the treatment to maintain optimal results.

No, dermaplaning does not cause acne. In fact, it helps remove dead skin cells and surface debris, which can contribute to clogged pores and acne formation.

Dermaplaning can help with acne by gently exfoliating the skin and reducing the buildup of dead skin cells that may contribute to acne. However, it is not recommended for individuals with active acne or inflamed skin.

When performed by a qualified aesthetician, dermaplaning is safe for most skin types. There is little risk of side effects.

Dermaplaning should be done every 4-6 weeks to maintain results and the removal of peach fuzz.

You can usually apply makeup 24 hours after dermaplaning. It is advised to allow your skin to breathe and recover immediately following the treatment.

Dermaplaning is not the same as shaving. While both remove fine vellus hair, dermaplaning uses a specialized, sterile blade to gently exfoliate the skin, whereas shaving typically removes hair without addressing dead skin cells.

No, dermaplaning will not cause stubble. The fine hair removed during the treatment grows back soft and without a blunt edge, ensuring a smooth and natural appearance.

No, the hair will not grow back thicker. The type of hair that is typically removed during a dermaplaning procedure is known as vellus hair, commonly referred to as "peach fuzz." This hair is fine and soft, and when it grows back after a dermaplaning session, it maintains its original characteristics. You can rest assured that dermaplaning will not cause your hair to grow back thicker or coarser. It will return as the same fine, soft vellus hair you had before. This makes dermaplaning a safe and effective method for exfoliating the skin and removing fine facial hair without altering the hair's texture or density.

Yes! Both men and women can benefit from dermaplaning.

How Dermaplaning Works

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive, exfoliating skincare treatment that utilizes a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine, vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the skin’s surface. This procedure promotes a smoother, more radiant complexion, while enhancing the effectiveness of skincare products by allowing them to penetrate more deeply.

Performed by our experienced skincare professionals at Arsenault Aesthetics, dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment for achieving smooth, healthy, revitalized skin.

What to Expect

Your dermaplaning appointment at Arsenault Aesthetics begins with a thorough consultation, where your skincare specialist will discuss your skin concerns and goals, ensuring dermaplaning is the right treatment for you.

The procedure starts with cleansing the skin to remove any makeup, dirt, or oil. Your aesthetician will then use a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and fine hair in the process. The treatment is painless and lasts approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

After the dermaplaning procedure, your aesthetician may apply a soothing serum or moisturizer to calm and nourish the skin, further enhancing the treatment’s results. You’ll be provided with post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal healing and maintain the benefits of dermaplaning.

Dermaplaning Treatment Benefits

Dermaplaning offers a variety of aesthetic and non-aesthetic benefits to improve skin health and appearance.

Dermaplaning gently removes dead skin cells and fine hair from the skin’s surface, resulting in a smoother, more even texture. This improved texture not only feels great but also provides a flawless canvas for makeup application.

By exfoliating the top layer of skin, dermaplaning promotes cell turnover and reveals a brighter, more radiant complexion. Say goodbye to dull, lackluster skin, and hello to a healthy glow.

Dermaplaning enhances the effectiveness of your skincare products by allowing them to penetrate more deeply into the skin. This helps you get the most out of your favorite serums, moisturizers, and other treatments.

The exfoliation process stimulates collagen production, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dermaplaning can help you achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

Dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment for most skin types, with the exception of those with active acne or highly sensitive skin. It is a gentle alternative to chemical peels and other more aggressive exfoliation methods.

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive, painless procedure that requires no downtime. You can return to your daily activities immediately after treatment, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

By removing peach fuzz and creating a smoother skin surface, dermaplaning allows for a more even and flawless makeup application.

Dermaplaning requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those looking for a quick, effective skincare treatment. Your skin may appear slightly pink or flushed after the procedure, but this should subside within a few hours.

Dermaplaning results typically last for up to four weeks.

My experience with Lacy at Arsenault Aesthetics has been nothing short of exceptional. Her Microneedling treatments deliver real, visible rejuvenation, and her Hydrafacials feel like a luxurious reset for the skin. Lacy’s technique is precise, her touch is calming, and her results speak for themselves. I trust her completely with my skin and always leave feeling radiant and refreshed. Lacy is incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, and meticulous — she explains every step, customizes the treatment to your skin’s needs, and makes you feel completely cared for. A true professional.

Absolutely love Arsenault. Nina is so knowledgeable and helped me plan out my treatment to insure my skin is “glowing” for my events later this year. The rest of the staff are such a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!

I received a survey text that I responded to. They responded offering to have me come back with Lacey for a 50$ discount. I responded telling them the condition of my skin and it’s been a few days since I’ve gotten a response back. I came in for a facial on December 23rd and want to start by saying the staff was kind and accommodating, especially since I hadn’t fully completed my booking. I really appreciated their willingness to still fit me in. There was some waiting while a room was prepared, and I ended up seeing a different aesthetician than originally planned due to the mistake I made during booking. Cassidy checked me in at the desk and performed my facial. During the facial, I was told that “some of the usual products weren’t available because they were in the other room”, and the hydration mask that was supposed to be included was skipped because it was also in the other room. I also have sensitive skin, and parts of the facial—particularly around my nose and mouth—felt a bit abrasive for me. Extractions were limited to the sides of my face and forehead , even though a-lot of my congestion is in my chin area. After I went home and washed my face at night the skin around my nose and mouth was so irritated it stung. The skin became dry, red, and started pilling. I had breakouts in areas where I didn’t get extractions so I can tell my skin didn’t like the products. Overall everyone was pleasant, but it didn’t feel fully reflective of the $150 price point given the missing steps and products. I’m grateful they were able to take me in, but I left feeling that the service wasn’t what I expected. I really wish that they would have just told me to book again another time instead of having this experience. It was overpriced, rushed with leftover products, and not very relaxing. I am not satisfied with the resolution that was provided.

I’d been fortunate to have a fantastic person for my skin care in southeast Florida for 20 years. I was afraid I wouldn’t find anyone in this area. So happy with Glow/Arsenault beautiful office and wonderful front desk folks! Lacey is extremely knowledgeable and has recommended treatments that have improved my skin! Can’t recommend enough!!!

Was referred by my dermatologist there to help diminish some scars from where I had skin cancer removed. Quoted $1000 for one scar and I have three. Was told I would get a discount for being an Arsenault customer and they said they would get back to me but it’s been over a week and I never heard back. Place was very clean and staff was professional just disappointed in the pricing and lack of follow up.
Just had first procedure. Nervous, but excited and all the ladies were so sweet, caring, patient and I feel like I’m in good hands. Excited to see the results of getting years of sun damaged skin taken care of. Thank you ladies so much!! See you again in Dec.

I saw Melissa for a consultation to address a variety of concerns, but the primary one being my moderate adult acne. Not only did she take the time to hear all my concerns and come up with a comprehensive treatment plan to get me looking my best and feeling like my most confident self, but the simple skincare routine she prescribed me has already cleared probably 80-90% of my acne in just a few weeks. This is after years of struggling, several doctors, and thousands of dollars spent on treatments and products that didn’t work for my highly sensitive skin. She has restored my hope for an acne-free life and I can’t wait to continue working with her and her team!

I absolutely LOVE Glow! I’ve been going for a few years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else. I see Melissa for Botox and she does such a great job making me feel comfortable and delivering natural results. I also see Nina for BBL & Moxi treatments. She’s excellent and it has made such a huge difference with my skin. I am always getting compliments and have referred many friends who have also raved about their experience. If you’re looking for a luxurious experience with exceptional results, I highly recommend visiting Glow!

Although I like Glow Dermspa, I was disappointed in the results of the PDO thread lift. As soon as the swelling in my face went down, there were almost no visible results. The treatment was uncomfortable and expensive…definitely did not correct the problem I came to treat nor what I’ve come to expect. 😞 Glow Dermaspa contacted me to request I come in so they could do a follow up on the PDO thread lift. I was very pleased with the results of the follow up visit. They stood behind their reputation and corrected the issue. I’m pleased with how my skin looks and with their professionalism.
