Get answers to common questions about Dermoplanning.

Dermoplanning is a manual exfoliation using a sterile blade to gently remove dead skin and vellus hair. The esthetician strokes the skin to resurface and reveal smoother, brighter skin with no chemicals, typically in a comfortable, quick session lasting about 30 minutes.

Dermoplanning is generally safe when performed by trained professionals. It's not recommended for active inflammatory acne, open lesions, or severe rosacea. A consultation assesses your skin; modifications or alternative treatments may be suggested to protect sensitive or compromised skin.

Results vary by individual, but smoothing and improved radiance often last three to six weeks. Hair grows back at its natural rate; regular maintenance sessions every four to eight weeks help sustain smooth texture and enhanced product absorption.

No. Dermoplanning removes fine vellus hair and dead skin from the surface only. It does not reach hair follicles, so hair will regrow normally. Regular treatments keep skin smooth, but permanent hair removal requires methods like electrolysis or laser hair removal.

After cleansing and optional light exfoliation, your esthetician will tense the skin and use a sterile blade in gentle strokes to remove dead cells and peach fuzz. The treatment is painless for most clients, followed by soothing serums and SPF application.

Avoid direct sun exposure, harsh exfoliants, retinoids, and chemical peels for at least 48 to 72 hours. Use a gentle cleanser, hydrating serums, and broad-spectrum SPF daily. Keep skin moisturized and avoid heavy makeup for 24 hours.
