Dermaplaning

Gentle, medical-grade exfoliation that removes dead skin and peach fuzz for instantly smoother, brighter skin

Dermaplaning facial at MedBeautyLA

Dermaplaning in Downtown Los Angeles

Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliating treatment in which a licensed aesthetician uses a sterile, surgical-grade blade to lift away the top layer of dead skin cells along with the fine, vellus hair known as peach fuzz. The result is skin that looks brighter, feels noticeably smoother and takes makeup beautifully.

Because it exfoliates without harsh scrubs, suction or acids, dermaplaning is a gentler alternative to microdermabrasion and a favorite for sensitive and mature skin types. It also clears the way for your skincare, so serums and moisturizers absorb better.

Our MedBeautyLA Dermaplane Facial is a full facial built around dermaplaning, so your skin is exfoliated, treated and hydrated in one visit. Dermaplaning can also be added to another facial, and extended to the neck, chest or shoulders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my hair grow back thicker or darker?

No. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair, or peach fuzz, and it grows back with the same soft texture and color. Cutting a hair at the surface doesn't change the follicle it grows from.

Does dermaplaning hurt?

Not at all. Most clients describe it as a light, feathery brushing across the skin, and many find it relaxing.

Is there any downtime?

None. Your skin may look slightly pink for an hour or two. For a few days afterward, wear SPF and skip retinoids and exfoliating products while your fresh skin settles.

How often should I get dermaplaning?

Every three to four weeks, which matches your skin's natural renewal cycle and keeps the glow going.

Is dermaplaning right for everyone?

Most skin types do beautifully with it, including sensitive and mature skin. If you have an active acne breakout, a rash or a sunburn, we'll suggest a different treatment until your skin calms down. Let us know if you use prescription retinoids or have taken isotretinoin (Accutane).

Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?

Yes, and it will go on more smoothly than ever. If you can, give your skin the rest of the day to breathe first.

Do you teach dermaplaning?

We do. Licensed aestheticians can learn our technique in the MedBeautyLA Dermaplaning Master Class.
