Dermaplaning has quickly become one of the most popular skincare treatments for achieving soft, glowing skin. Whether you’re dealing with peach fuzz, dullness, or dry patches, dermaplaning can help reveal a fresh layer of skin and enhance the effectiveness of your skincare products. At Skin 22, we specialize in safe, professional dermaplaning services tailored to your unique skin needs.
If you’ve ever wondered “how to dermaplane safely at home or professionally”, this guide is for you.
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair (peach fuzz) using a specialized surgical-grade blade. Unlike traditional shaving, dermaplaning targets the surface layer of skin gently, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion.
Smooth skin texture: Removes dead skin cells and soft peach fuzz.
Enhances skincare absorption: Products penetrate more effectively.
Creates flawless makeup application: Makeup glides on evenly without sticking to fine hairs.
Minimizes appearance of fine lines: Exfoliation promotes collagen production.
Safe and gentle: Ideal for most skin types when performed correctly.
At Skin 22, we ensure every dermaplaning session is performed with sterile, high-quality tools and customized to your skin type.
Dermaplaning can be performed professionally or at home, but professional treatment is always safer, especially for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Here’s how it works:
Cleanse your face thoroughly to remove oil, makeup, and dirt.
Pat dry your skin completely.
Apply a soothing toner or a light layer of moisturizing serum if needed.
Use a sterile dermaplaning blade or a professional scalpel.
Ensure the blade is sharp, clean, and single-use to prevent infections.
Hold the skin taut with one hand.
Hold the blade at a 45-degree angle to the skin.
Use short, gentle strokes, moving outward and downward.
Avoid sensitive areas like the eyelids and any active acne lesions.
Apply a soothing serum or moisturizer immediately after treatment.
Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays.
Avoid harsh exfoliants or chemical treatments for at least 48 hours.
The frequency of dermaplaning depends on your skin type and hair growth:
Every 3–4 weeks: Recommended for most people.
Sensitive skin: May require 4–6 weeks between sessions.
Faster hair growth: May need more frequent treatments to maintain smoothness.
At Skin 22, our specialists recommend a personalized schedule to maximize results and maintain skin health.
Unlike traditional shaving:
Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells along with fine facial hair.
It does not make hair grow back thicker—a common myth.
Dermaplaning is designed for facial skin health, not just hair removal.
While dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, it may not be suitable for:
Active acne with open lesions
Severe rosacea or eczema flare-ups
Very sensitive skin prone to irritation
A consultation with Skin 22 ensures your skin is safe for treatment.
If you choose to dermaplane at home, follow these guidelines:
Use clean, sterile tools only.
Avoid areas with active breakouts or wounds.
Work in a well-lit area to see clearly.
Apply gentle pressure; do not scrape or drag the blade.
Moisturize and protect your skin immediately after.
For the safest and most effective results, professional dermaplaning at Skin 22 is recommended.
Dermaplaning pairs well with other skincare treatments:
Chemical peels: Exfoliation enhances peel penetration.
Facials: Deep cleansing and hydration complement dermaplaning.
Microneedling: Prepares skin for better absorption and smoother results.
Hydration serums: Boost skin plumpness and radiance.
Our specialists at Skin 22 can design a custom treatment plan for optimal results.
At Skin 22, we prioritize:
Professional expertise: Certified dermatologists and estheticians perform all treatments.
Customized care: Every skin type receives personalized attention.

1. Does dermaplaning hurt?
Dermaplaning is generally painless. Most clients feel a gentle scraping sensation only.
2. Will hair grow back thicker?
No, hair grows back at the same thickness and texture.
3. Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?
Yes, makeup can be applied immediately, but your skin may absorb products better and appear more radiant.
4. How soon will I see results?
Skin appears smoother and brighter immediately after treatment. Full benefits develop over a few days as dead cells are fully removed.
Dermaplaning is a safe, effective, and transformative treatment for achieving smooth, radiant skin. By removing fine facial hair and dead skin cells, it promotes even skin tone, enhances skincare absorption, and creates the perfect canvas for makeup.
While dermaplaning can be done at home, professional treatment at Skin 22 ensures maximum safety and visible results. Our experts customize each session based on your skin type, ensuring the best outcomes.
