WHAT IS DERMAPLANING?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment performed using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair (peach fuzz). This non-invasive procedure reveals fresher, brighter skin underneath while also improving the absorption of your skincare products.
At Akin Aesthetics & Wellness, dermaplaning can be a standalone treatment or combined with a facial for enhanced results.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A DERMAPLANING FACIAL?
At Akin Aesthetics & Wellness, your dermaplaning treatment is performed by a licensed Master Esthetician trained in safe and effective exfoliation techniques. Here’s what happens during your appointment:
1️⃣ Cleanse – Your skin is gently cleansed to remove makeup, oil, and impurities.
2️⃣ Exfoliation – Using a sterile scalpel, your provider will gently remove dead skin and peach fuzz from the surface of your skin.
3️⃣ Hydration & Nourishment – We follow with customized serums and moisturizers designed for your skin type to lock in hydration and maximize glow.
4️⃣ Sun Protection – We complete your treatment with a protective layer of broad-spectrum SPF to safeguard your freshly exfoliated skin.
How often should I get dermaplaning?
Most clients benefit from dermaplaning every 4-6 weeks, depending on their skin type and goals. Regular dermaplaning helps maintain smooth texture and radiant skin.
Will dermaplaning make my hair grow back thicker?
No. This is a common myth. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (peach fuzz), which will grow back soft and fine just as it was before. It does not change the color, thickness, or speed of hair growth.
Can I combine dermaplaning with other treatments?
Absolutely! Dermaplaning enhances the results of:
-
Facials by allowing products to penetrate deeper.
-
Chemical peels by creating a clean slate for exfoliation.
-
Hydro facials by removing barriers to deep hydration.
We can recommend the best combination treatments during your consultation.
Is there any downtime after dermaplaning?
There is no downtime with dermaplaning. Your skin may look slightly pink immediately after, but this fades quickly. Most clients return to normal activities right away — with glowing skin.
Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, if you have active acne, rosacea, or highly inflamed skin, we may recommend a different exfoliation treatment.
How much does dermaplaning cost at Akin Aesthetics & Wellness?
Pricing for dermaplaning varies depending on whether it’s a standalone treatment or part of a custom facial package. During your consultation, we will provide transparent pricing and recommend any add-ons that can enhance your results.
Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?
Yes, but we recommend waiting at least 12-24 hours to allow your skin to fully benefit from the treatment. When you do apply makeup, you’ll love how smooth and flawless it looks on freshly exfoliated skin.
