If you're looking for a quick and effective way to achieve smoother, brighter skin, dermaplaning might be the perfect solution for you. At Upkeep Med Spa, dermaplaning is one of our most popular and effective exfoliation treatments that can give your skin an instant glow. Whether you're new to dermaplaning or a seasoned fan, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about this trending skincare treatment.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skincare treatment that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape away dead skin cells and vellus hair (often referred to as peach fuzz) from the surface of your skin. This painless exfoliation process helps reveal the fresh, smooth skin underneath, giving you an instant boost of radiance.
The procedure is safe for most skin types and offers immediate results without any downtime, making it a go-to treatment for those looking to enhance their complexion quickly.
Why Should You Try Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning isn't just about removing peach fuzz; it offers a variety of benefits that can significantly improve your skin’s appearance and health. Here are a few reasons why you should consider incorporating dermaplaning into your skincare routine:
1. Smoother Skin Texture
By removing the layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning instantly smooths out your skin, making it feel softer and more even. This helps improve the application of makeup and allows skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin for better results.
2. Brighter, More Radiant Skin
Exfoliating the top layer of dead skin allows the healthy, glowing skin beneath to shine through. Many clients notice an immediate improvement in skin tone, with a brighter and more radiant complexion right after treatment.
3. Better Product Absorption
One of the hidden benefits of dermaplaning is that it increases the effectiveness of your skincare products. After the treatment, your skin is more receptive to serums, moisturizers, and other treatments, helping you get the most out of your skincare routine.
4. Reduces the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By regularly removing dead skin cells, dermaplaning can help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a smoother, more youthful look.
5. Perfect for Sensitive Skin
If chemical peels or microdermabrasion are too harsh for your skin, dermaplaning is a great alternative. It’s gentle and ideal for people with sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea who still want to exfoliate without irritation.
6. No Downtime
Dermaplaning is a quick, in-office procedure that usually takes about 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into your busy schedule. You can walk out of the spa with glowing skin and return to your daily activities without any recovery time.
Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for many people. It’s especially beneficial for those who:
Have dry or rough skin
Are dealing with dull, uneven skin tone
Want to get rid of peach fuzz for a smoother makeup application
Struggle with hyperpigmentation or acne scars
Are looking for a safe, non-invasive exfoliation treatment
However, if you have active acne, eczema, or rosacea, it’s best to consult with our expert team at Upkeep Med Spa before booking your appointment to ensure dermaplaning is the right treatment for you.
What to Expect During Your Dermaplaning Session
At Upkeep Med Spa, your dermaplaning session will be carried out by one of our licensed aestheticians. The process is straightforward and comfortable:
Consultation: Your session will start with a brief consultation to discuss your skin concerns and goals.
Cleansing: Your face will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, dirt, and oils.
Dermaplaning: Using a sterile scalpel, your aesthetician will gently glide the blade over your skin in precise, sweeping motions to remove dead skin and hair.
Hydration: After dermaplaning, your skin is treated with hydrating serums and moisturizers to replenish and nourish.
Post-Treatment Care: You'll be given post-care instructions to maintain your results, such as applying sunscreen and avoiding harsh exfoliants for a few days.
How Often Should You Get Dermaplaning?
For optimal results, we recommend getting dermaplaning every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your skin type and skincare goals. Regular treatments can help maintain a consistently smooth, bright complexion and prevent the build-up of dead skin cells.

At Upkeep Med Spa, we offer combination treatments that pair dermaplaning with other skin treatments such as facials, chemical peels, or hydrafacials to enhance your results. Ask our skincare specialists about personalized treatment plans to target your unique skin needs.
