Reveal smoother, brighter skin with dermaplaning in Glendale, AZ, at True Skin & WellnessMed spa. Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz while helping improve dullness, uneven texture, and the look of fine lines. At True Skin & Wellness, our providers help reveal your true aesthetic potential.
Achieve Silky-smooth Skin Texture
Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile medical-grade blade to carefully remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair (aka peach fuzz) from your skin. Don’t worry: it doesn’t hurt, and it won’t make hair grow back thicker. By clearing away that top layer of buildup, your skin can better absorb skincare products and makeup goes on smoother. It’s a quick, relaxing treatment that leaves your skin feeling soft and fresh.
Dermaplaning Treats:
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Built-up dead skin cells
- Fine facial hair (peach fuzz)
- Mild surface congestion
- Makeup sitting unevenly on the skin
How Dermaplaning Works
Dermaplaning works by using a sterile, medical-grade blade to gently scrape away the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with fine facial hair. This top layer of dead skin naturally builds up over time and can make skin look dull and feel rough. By removing it, the skin’s natural renewal process is supported, and fresh, healthy cells are revealed. Dermaplaning also allows skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin, which can make them more effective over time.
Benefits of Dermaplaning:
- Instantly smoother, softer-feeling skin
- Brighter, more refreshed appearance
- Better absorption of skincare products
- Flawless makeup application
- Gentle and non-invasive treatment
- No downtime or recovery period
- Suitable for most skin types
Your Dermaplaning Experience
Consultation
You’ll start by chatting one-on-one with one of our providers about your skin concerns, goals, and current skincare routine. We’ll take a close look at your skin, discuss what you’re hoping to improve, and make sure dermaplaning in Glendale, AZ is a good fit. You’ll also have time to ask questions (all of them, big or small). From there, we’ll walk you through what to expect before, during, and after treatment so you feel totally comfortable moving forward.
Treatment
Once you’re settled in, your skin is gently cleansed and prepped. One of our providers then uses a sterile, medical-grade blade held at a precise angle to carefully glide across the skin, removing dead cells and peach fuzz in controlled strokes. You’ll feel a scraping sensation, but it’s very comfortable. The treatment is precise, methodical, and surprisingly relaxing. Afterward, soothing products and SPF are applied to calm and protect your freshly exfoliated skin.
Recovery
Most people experience little to no side effects after dermaplaning. You may notice mild redness or slight sensitivity after treatment, which fades within a few hours. There’s no true downtime, so you can get back to your day immediately. We recommend avoiding exfoliants, retinoids, and active ingredients for about 24 hours and always wearing sunscreen. Your skin may feel a bit more sensitive to the sun for a day or two, but that’s about it.
Results
You’ll notice a smoother feel right after your dermaplaning treatment: no waiting required. Because your skin naturally sheds cells over time, the results typically last 3-4 weeks. Most people schedule treatments monthly to keep their skin consistently smooth and glowing. Dermaplaning can also be combined with other treatments for enhanced results.
Dermaplaning FAQs
Will removing peach fuzz make my facial hair grow back thicker or darker?
No — this is one of the most common misconceptions about dermaplaning. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) has a fine, tapered tip that is simply removed at the surface, and shaving or scraping it does not change the hair follicle, so it grows back exactly the same as before.
Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Dermaplaning is generally well-tolerated for sensitive skin types, but it is not recommended if you have active breakouts, inflamed acne, or open lesions, as the blade can irritate and potentially spread bacteria. Your provider will assess your skin at your consultation to confirm it’s an appropriate treatment for you.
How is dermaplaning different from shaving at home?
Professional dermaplaning uses a sterile, medical-grade surgical blade held at a precise angle by a trained provider, allowing for a much more controlled and thorough exfoliation than a standard razor. It also removes dead skin cells in a way that at-home shaving does not, resulting in a deeper, more refined smoothness.
What treatments pair well with dermaplaning for enhanced results?
Dermaplaning is an excellent primer for other skin treatments, as the removal of dead skin and peach fuzz allows serums, peels, and laser energy to penetrate more evenly and effectively. It is commonly combined with facials, chemical peels, and laser treatments at True Skin & Wellness for an added glow and improved outcomes.
Who should avoid dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning may not be suitable for those with certain skin conditions, such as rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, or highly reactive skin, as the exfoliation can trigger flare-ups. Anyone with active cold sores, sunburned skin, or a history of keloiding should also discuss these concerns with their provider before proceeding.
