Dermaplaning Facial
As a non-invasive aesthetic facial treatment
When it comes to the latest 'must-have' beauty treatment, dermaplaning is a highly desirable skincare essential that's become a firm favorite among celebrities and medi-aesthetics clients over the last couple of years who want to maintain a naturally glowing, flawless complexion. Sometimes called epidermal leveling or blading, dermaplaning is a medical skin treatment that manually exfoliates the outermost layers of the epidermis. The treatment is performed safely with a sterile surgical blade, gently exfoliating the skin and removing dead skin cells and impurities.
Additional Information
As a non-invasive aesthetic facial treatment, dermaplaning can address several skincare concerns, from unwanted signs of premature aging to mild scarring and pigmentation—key benefits of dermaplaning at Salon Serenity Spa in Wake Forest, North Raleigh, NC.
- Dermaplaning encourages the normal shedding (desquamation) of the stratum corneum and removes dead keratinized cells from the skin's epidermis (top layer).
- Dermaplaning minimizes the appearance of fine lines and superficial scars.
- Dermaplaning increases the skin's ability to absorb topical products developed to target specific skincare issues.
- A dermaplaning treatment actively stimulates circulation, increasing oxygen delivery to the cells.
- Dermaplaning primes the skin for other medi-aesthetics modalities such as chemical peels, micro-needling, mesotherapy, and LED light mask therapy.
- Dermaplaning removes fine 'vellus' hairs commonly known as "peach fuzz" from the face and creates an even surface free from sebum and excess keratin. However, this hair will not grow back thicker or darker than before treatment.
Dermaplaning may be done as an alternative to a chemical peel or as the first step of a multi-level treatment that combines dermaplaning with a chemical peel for deeper peel penetration. Dermaplaning is a safe treatment when performed by a professional. All skin types and colors can benefit from dermaplaning or blading. This quick, non-surgical procedure is pain-free. Dermaplaning does not cause swelling or pain. Most people say it feels good, and there is no downtime. Dermaplaning is painless because it uses no chemicals and only removes dead skin cells from the skin's surface.

Immediately after a dermaplaning facial, your skin may look slightly red and flushed because enhanced circulation and the removal of unwanted sebum and dirt trapped by vellus hairs can cause this. However, skin erythema (redness) will subside within a couple of hours as new cells emerge, creating a glowing complexion that lasts several days post-treatment and provides a perfect base for makeup. One of the key benefits associated with a dermaplaning treatment is that, due to the gentle yet practical nature of the procedure, there is no downtime required, so you will be able to carry on with your day-to-day activities as usual and can apply mineral-based makeup and sunscreen a couple of hours after the treatment has taken place.
Unlike more invasive treatments such as laser skin resurfacing, mild chemical peels, and microdermabrasion, dermaplaning suits all skin types. The procedure itself is gentle yet highly effective. The treatment is recommended for individuals who suffer from conditions such as rosacea or telangiectasia, are prone to skin sensitivity, and is contraindicated for other types of facial electrical treatments, i.e., for those who are pregnant or epileptic.
While dermaplaning and microdermabrasion are forms of exfoliation, they differ considerably in technique. Dermaplaning is a manual treatment that uses a sterile scalpel to remove fine vellus hairs and keratinized skin cells from the epidermis. At the same time, microdermabrasion is slightly more abrasive, employing an electrical vacuum suction device and a mechanical handpiece containing a diamond tip, aluminum oxide crystals, or other similar products to, in essence, 'sand, buff, and polish the skin.
