SkinPen Before & Afters
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (often called peach fuzz) from the face. Using a specialized surgical scalpel, a trained provider carefully glides the blade over the skin’s surface, revealing a fresher, brighter complexion underneath.
Unlike harsh scrubs or chemical exfoliants, dermaplaning is a non-invasive, painless treatment that instantly smooths the skin. It also enhances the absorption of skincare products and creates the perfect canvas for flawless makeup application.
What issues does Dermaplaning address?
Dermaplaning is a versatile treatment that tackles a range of skin concerns by gently resurfacing the skin. Whether you’re looking to brighten a dull complexion or refine your skin’s texture, this treatment can help.
Dermaplaning can improve:
- Dull or Uneven Skin Tone – Instantly reveals a brighter, more even complexion.
- Rough Skin Texture – Smooths the skin for a soft, touchable feel.
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles – Minimizes the appearance of superficial lines.
- Clogged Pores – Reduces congestion by removing dead skin buildup.
- Peach Fuzz – Eliminates fine facial hair for a smoother makeup application.
- Dry or Flaky Skin – Gently exfoliate to boost hydration and radiance.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning isn’t just about exfoliation—it’s about unlocking your skin’s natural glow. With each session, your skin becomes softer, brighter, and more receptive to skincare products, making your daily routine even more effective. Plus, makeup applies more smoothly, giving you an effortlessly polished look.
Key benefits of dermaplaning:
- Instantly smoother, softer skin
- Enhanced skincare absorption
- A more radiant, youthful complexion
- Makeup glides on seamlessly
- Helps minimize fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduces the appearance of acne scars
- Safe for most skin types and tones
- No downtime or recovery needed
Am I a candidate for Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and is an excellent option for anyone looking to refresh their complexion. It’s especially great for those who want a non-invasive way to achieve smoother, brighter skin. However, if you have active acne, rosacea, or extremely sensitive skin, this treatment may not be the best option for you.
Ideal candidates for dermaplaning:
- Individuals with dry, dull, or rough skin
- Those looking to remove peach fuzz for a flawless makeup finish
- People with superficial acne scars or fine lines
- Anyone seeking a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment
Who should avoid dermaplaning?
- Those with active acne or inflamed breakouts
- Individuals with rosacea or highly reactive skin
- Anyone with open wounds or cuts on the face
- Those with a history of keloid scarring
Consultation and Preparation for Dermaplaning
Before your treatment, you’ll have a one-on-one consultation to discuss your skin concerns and goals. A trained provider will assess your skin type, review your skincare routine, and ensure dermaplaning is the right fit for you. They may also recommend complementary treatments for even better results.
To prepare for your session, avoid exfoliating products, retinol, or chemical peels for a few days beforehand. You should also try to limit your sun exposure, as sunburned or irritated skin isn’t ideal for treatment. Arriving with a clean, makeup-free face ensures the best experience.
The Dermaplaning Procedure
Your Kucumber skin care specialist exfoliates the top layer of dry skin by drawing a medical blade across the surface, using precise angles and motions. Along with the upper layers of dry and damaged skin, Dermaplaning removes the fine vellus hairs of the face and body (“peach fuzz”). Your skin is left noticeably smooth and rejuvenated. If you desire more pronounced effects, Dermaplaning can prepare the skin for deeper penetration of serums and moisturizers during an additional treatment such as a facial.
Dermaplaning Results
One of the best things about dermaplaning is the immediate transformation—you’ll leave with baby-soft skin that looks visibly brighter and smoother. There’s no downtime, so you can go about your day as usual. Some people experience mild redness, but this fades quickly. Since dermaplaning removes the top layer of dead skin, your skin may be more sensitive to the sun. Be sure to wear SPF daily to protect your fresh, radiant complexion.
Dermaplaning Recovery
There’s virtually no recovery process after dermaplaning, making it the perfect treatment for those with busy schedules. Your skin may feel extra smooth and slightly more sensitive in the first day or two, but this is completely normal.
What to expect post-treatment:
- Immediate results with no downtime
- Slight pinkness that fades within a few hours
- Skin feeling ultra-soft and refreshed
- Results lasting about 3-4 weeks
To maintain your glow, follow a gentle skincare routine and schedule treatments every month or so.
