What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning involves the use of a sterile surgical blade to carefully exfoliate the skin. This precise technique eliminates dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, enhancing the skin’s texture and promoting a youthful glow.
This process dates back to ancient civilizations where women utilized various tools for skin exfoliation. However, the modern form of dermaplaning emerged as a cosmetic procedure in the 20th century, gaining popularity for skin rejuvenation. Over the years, technological advancements have refined the methods, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.

The Dermaplaning Procedure
To prepare for the procedure, patients should arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid sun exposure and use of retinoids or exfoliating products in the days leading up to the procedure.
After a thorough consultation with our highly trained staff, our team assesses the skin type and skincare goals. Upon arrival to our office, a sterile surgical blade is skillfully used to softly exfoliate the skin’s surface, removing dead cells and peach fuzz type hair. This typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes.
Your Recovery and Results
There’s minimal to no downtime after the dermaplaning procedure. Patients may experience temporary redness or mild sensitivity, like a sunburn, which usually goes away within a few hours. We advise avoiding direct sun exposure and use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the newly revealed skin.
Dermaplaning results are immediate and impressive. The procedure leaves the skin smoother and more vibrant. While individual experiences vary, many enjoy the benefits for 3-4 weeks. Regular sessions, often scheduled monthly, contribute to longer results.
Safety is Our Priority
Dermaplaning is extremely safe, but like any cosmetic procedure, it carries rare and minimal risks. Potential complications may include temporary sensitivity, or in rare cases, minor nicks or irritation. Choosing a reputable and professional spa minimizes these risks.
Your safety and comfort are the number one priorities at Thrive. With our steady commitment to ensure a secure and hassle-free experience, we strive to elevate your complete well-being. Every interaction is meticulously designed to be positive and enriching.
