Skin Treatments

Dermaplaning, the smooth canvas.

Dermaplaning is a quick, precise treatment that uses a surgical-grade blade to remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair. It pairs perfectly with other treatments and leaves the skin smoother and brighter immediately.

How it works

Quiet Treatment, Loud Results.

The blade gently scrapes the surface of clean, dry skin at a specific angle, removing dead cells and fine hairs without injuring the underlying layers. Skin is immediately smoother, makeup applies more evenly, and topical products penetrate better.

Dermaplaning doesn't make hair grow back darker or coarser. The fine vellus hair regrows in 2 to 4 weeks at the same texture and pigment it had before.

We often combine dermaplaning with a chemical peel or hydration treatment in the same visit. The exfoliated skin absorbs serums more deeply, amplifying the benefit of whatever follows.

What to expect
1
Consultation
BEFORE

Your esthetician assesses your skin. No pre-care required, but we recommend coming makeup-free if possible. We discuss whether you want dermaplaning alone or paired with a HydraFacial or peel.

2
Treatment
DURING

A sterile surgical blade glides across cleansed skin at a precise angle, removing dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). Most clients describe it as a light scraping sensation. Painless. Thirty minutes from start to finish.

3
Immediate
DAY OF

No downtime. Mild redness for the first hour or two, then nothing. Skin reads instantly smoother. Makeup applies more evenly without the peach fuzz catching light. SPF is non-negotiable after dermaplaning since the protective layer of dead skin is gone.

4
Results
WEEKS 1-4

Smoother texture and brighter tone for the next three to four weeks. Skincare absorbs better without the dead skin barrier. Vellus hair regrows at the same rate and same fineness it always did.

5
Maintenance
MONTHLY

Monthly cadence aligns with the natural hair growth cycle and skin turnover. Most clients combine dermaplaning with a HydraFacial in the same appointment for compounding effect.

Our Approach to

Dermaplaning

"

Most clients come to me thinking they need something dramatic. Dermaplaning is the proof that they don't. We remove the dead surface layer and the soft vellus hair that's been catching the light wrong. They walk out, look at themselves in the car mirror, and text me before they get home. That's the work.

Principles of Care

Foundation First

The best laser, filler, or injectable results sit on healthy skin. These treatments build the foundation everything else stands on.

Cumulative Effect

One facial is a refresh. A series is a transformation. We design treatment cadence around the texture, tone, and barrier changes that compound over time.

Calibrated To Skin

Same treatment, different protocols. We adjust depth, acid concentration, and serum selection based on your barrier, sensitivity, and concerns.

The Quiet Workhorse

These treatments rarely get the credit. They do most of the work between bigger appointments and often produce the changes clients notice most.

THE QUESTION WE GET MOST OFTEN

"

Will dermaplaning make my hair grow back thicker?

"

No. This is the most persistent myth about dermaplaning. Hair texture is determined by the follicle, not by what happens to the hair shaft at the surface. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) regrows at the same rate, same diameter, and same softness as before. What changes is the visual: cleanly removed hair grows back with a blunt tip rather than a tapered one for the first few days, which can feel different to the touch, but it isn't actually thicker or darker.

I was truly blown away after my appointment here. Every single person I interacted with, from the front desk to the providers who handled my treatments, was incredible! They made me feel so welcomed and cared for, and were both informative and genuinely kind. The space itself is spotless, cozy, and easily the most inviting place I’ve ever been for Botox. Michelle did my Botox and she was amazing! I also had a hydrafacial and dermaplaning, and I already can’t wait to come back again and again.You will not regret booking here!
