Get answers to common questions about Dermoplanning.

Dermoplanning is a manual, non-invasive exfoliation using a sterile blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair. It smooths texture, brightens complexion immediately, and enhances product absorption. Performed by trained estheticians for safety and precise results.

Dermoplanning removes vellus peach fuzz and dead skin from the surface; it does not affect hair follicles. Hair grows back at its usual rate and texture, so results are temporary. Regular sessions maintain smoothness without causing thicker regrowth.

Dermoplanning can be safe for many skin types, including mild sensitive or acne-prone skin, when performed by a licensed professional. Severe active acne, open wounds, or certain skin conditions may need alternative treatments; consult your esthetician for a personalized assessment.

Most dermoplanning sessions last 30 to 45 minutes, depending on consultation and additional facial steps. Expect cleansing, the dermoplanning procedure, and soothing serums or masks. Your esthetician will tailor timing based on skin needs and any combined treatments.

For most clients, scheduling dermoplanning every 3 to 6 weeks maintains smooth skin and removes recurring vellus hair. Your esthetician will recommend frequency based on hair growth, skin sensitivity, and goals. Combine with regular facials for best results.

Avoid heavy exfoliants, retinoids, and direct sun exposure for at least 48 to 72 hours before and after treatment. Use gentle cleansers, hydrating serums, and daily SPF. Follow your esthetician's instructions to minimize irritation and prolong results.
