Dermaplaning
Bellingham

Dermaplaning gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin and fine hair with a precise medical blade, creating a smooth, refreshed surface and more even tone. At Kucumber Skin Lounge, our specialists perform Dermaplaning as a discreet, zero-downtime treatment to soften dryness, congestion, dullness, and fine lines. This controlled exfoliation also encourages collagen activity, subtly improving skin firmness over time. Choose a single Dermaplaning session for your face or body to address:

• Skin resurfacing
• Dry, flaky skin
• Fine facial hair ("peach fuzz")
• Uneven tone or discoloration
• Textural scarring
• Collagen support
• Clogged or congested pores
• Fine lines and early wrinkles

Dermaplaning is a precise, manual exfoliation treatment that lifts away dull surface cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. Using a specialized surgical blade, your expert provider gently glides along the skin's surface to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion.

This non-invasive, comfortable treatment delivers instant refinement without harsh scrubs or strong acids. It enhances product penetration, softens texture, and creates an ultra-smooth canvas for seamless makeup application.

Dermaplaning is a gentle, professional exfoliation treatment that works beautifully for most skin types when performed by a trained provider. It's ideal if you want smoother, brighter, makeup-ready skin without downtime. By removing dead skin and vellus hair (peach fuzz), dermaplaning helps your skincare absorb more effectively and leaves your complexion soft and refined. Your provider will always assess your skin first to confirm that this treatment supports your overall skin health and long-term goals.

Ideal candidates for dermaplaning:

• Guests with dry, dull, or uneven texture
• Those wanting a smoother canvas for makeup or special events
• People with superficial acne scarring or early fine lines
• Anyone seeking non-invasive, no-downtime complexion refresh

Who should avoid dermaplaning (or be carefully evaluated)?

• Those with active acne or inflamed breakouts
• Individuals with rosacea or highly reactive, sensitized skin
• Anyone with open cuts, scratches, or recent facial procedures
• Those with a history of keloid or abnormal scarring

Dermaplaning delivers an instant glow. You'll step out with baby-soft skin that looks brighter, smoother, and more refined right away. Because there's virtually no downtime, you can return to your routine immediately. A touch of temporary redness is possible, but it typically fades within hours. Since the treatment gently removes the top layer of dead skin, your complexion can be more sun-sensitive—daily SPF is essential to protect your fresh, radiant results.

Kucumber Skin Lounge blends medical-grade expertise with advanced aesthetic technology to reveal your healthiest, most confident skin. Our rigorously trained specialists focus on safe, comfortable, results-driven care. From first-time treatments to complex skin journeys, every visit is tailored to your goals, skin type, and lifestyle for truly personalized results.
