Have you ever looked in the mirror and noticed your skin looking dull or your makeup not blending as smoothly as you'd like? You’re not alone. Many people wonder how to exfoliate skin effectively and achieve a naturally radiant glow.
At Laser Beauty Works in Denver, we specialize in dermaplaning, a gentle yet highly effective treatment that removes dead skin and peach fuzz in just one session. Our skilled team helps you uncover your smoothest, brightest skin safely and comfortably.
In this blog, we’ll explain what dermaplaning is, how it works step by step, and why it might be your new favorite skin treatment.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation procedure that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove the top layer of dead skin and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). It’s a non-invasive treatment performed by a trained professional.
Unlike chemical peels or microdermabrasion, dermaplaning doesn’t use acids or crystals. It’s a manual method that’s safe for most skin types, including those sensitive to chemical exfoliants.
The Dermaplaning Process Step by Step
Dermaplaning is a straightforward treatment that delivers immediate results with minimal effort or downtime.
Consultation and Preparation
Your experience begins with a consultation to discuss your skin type and goals. Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove oil and debris, creating a clean canvas for treatment.
Exfoliation
Using a sterile surgical scalpel at a precise angle, your esthetician gently glides across your skin to lift away dead cells and peach fuzz. The sensation is gentle and often described as a light scraping feeling.
Post-Treatment Hydration
After exfoliation, soothing serums or hydrating masks are applied to replenish your skin. A high-quality sunscreen is always used to protect your freshly exfoliated skin from UV exposure.
The entire session typically takes around 45 minutes and has no downtime, so you can return to your normal activities immediately.
Benefits for Skin Tone and Makeup Application
Dermaplaning benefits go far beyond immediate smoothness. After treatment, you’ll notice:
- Brighter, more even skin tone
- Smoother texture for flawless makeup application
- Enhanced absorption of skincare products
- Reduction in the appearance of fine lines and superficial acne scars
- Instant peach fuzz removal, giving your skin a polished, clean look
These combined benefits make dermaplaning a top choice for clients looking for both exfoliation and peach fuzz removal in one simple step.
Why It’s Safe and Non-Invasive
Dermaplaning is completely non-invasive, requiring no chemicals, needles, or downtime. It doesn’t hurt, doesn’t cause breakouts, and doesn’t alter hair growth. In fact, removing built-up dead skin can prevent clogged pores and promote a clearer complexion.
Because the procedure is performed by trained professionals using sterile tools, risks are minimal. The most you might notice is slight redness right after treatment, which typically fades within a few hours.
Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Get Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning works well for most skin types and tones, especially if you want a smoother texture and better product penetration.
Good candidates include people with:
- Dry or rough skin needing gentle resurfacing
- A dull or uneven complexion that needs brightening
- Fine lines or mild acne scars that benefit from light exfoliation
- Unwanted vellus hair (peach fuzz) for a cleaner finish
However, dermaplaning is not advised for those with:
- Active acne breakouts or open lesions, as the blade can worsen irritation
- Inflamed or cystic acne, which may become more inflamed with treatment
- Severe rosacea or very sensitive, easily reactive skin
Before treatment, we thoroughly assess your skin to make sure dermaplaning is safe and effective for your needs.
Results Timeline and Frequency
After a single dermaplaning session, most clients notice immediate improvements in skin texture and tone. Skin feels smoother, looks brighter, and makeup applies more evenly without the interference of peach fuzz or dry patches.
For best results, dermaplaning is typically recommended every 3 to 4 weeks. This allows your skin to complete its natural regeneration cycle while maintaining a fresh, polished look. Your esthetician may adjust the frequency based on your skin’s sensitivity, goals, and seasonal changes.
Consistent treatments help support long-term skin health by keeping the surface clear, promoting better absorption of skincare products, and preserving a soft, radiant complexion.
