Benefits of Dermaplaning: Exfoliate, Cleanse, & Brighten Your Skin
Dermaplaning can help you get the smooth, glowing skin you’ve always wanted. By removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz, dermaplaning can bring out your skin’s natural radiance. Some of the top benefits of these treatments are:
Smooth, Even Skin
Dermaplaning removes the top layer of dead skin cells, making your complexion look dull and rough. By exfoliating this layer, you’ll reveal fresh, new skin that is smoother and more even in texture.
Deep Cleansing
Since dermaplaning also removes the fine hairs on your face, it allows for a deeper cleanse. Without the barrier of peach fuzz, skincare products can penetrate more deeply into the skin and provide better results.
Reduced Appearance of Fine Lines
Dead skin cells and fine hairs can make wrinkles and fine lines appear more prominent. By removing these layers, dermaplaning can help reduce the look of aging and leave you with a younger, more vibrant complexion.
Increased Product Absorption
Skincare products can be absorbed more effectively into the skin without the barrier of dead skin cells and fine hairs. Your serums, moisturizers, and other products may work more efficiently and provide better results.
Easier Makeup Application
With a smooth canvas, makeup application becomes much easier after dermaplaning. Products glide on effortlessly and look flawless on freshly exfoliated skin. Plus, your makeup will also look more seamless and natural without any stubborn facial hair getting in the way.
Prevents Ingrown Hairs
Dermaplaning removes facial hair from the root, which helps prevent ingrown hairs. This is especially beneficial for those who struggle with ingrown hairs on their face or have sensitive skin prone to shaving irritation.
How Does Dermaplaning Work to Get Non-Invasive Skin Results?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive form of exfoliation that uses a surgical scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). This process helps reveal brighter, smoother, and more radiant skin. Additionally, dermaplaning can lead to long-term benefits like reduced acne breakouts and fine lines by removing pore-blocking debris.
What to Expect During Your Dermaplaning Treatment with DermWellesley
At DermWellesley, our trained professionals will start by cleansing your face to remove any makeup or impurities. Then, using a sterile scalpel and gentle strokes, they will carefully scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair from your entire face. This process is painless and can take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes.
Side Effects & After-Care Tips
Potential Side Effects
Each person may react differently to dermaplaning, but the risks of side effects are minimal. Some side effects you may experience include:
- Minor redness
- Dryness
- Sensitivity
Your individual skin type, medical history, and any previous skin treatments may affect your side effects and recovery time after dermaplaning. Discussing these factors with your skincare professional before undergoing the procedure is important. If you have any questions or concerns before, during, or after your treatment, please contact our team online or at 781.591.4234.
After Your Treatment
Aftercare is an essential aspect of any skincare treatment, including dermaplaning. To ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects, it is important to follow these aftercare guidelines:
- Do not use any exfoliating products or treatments for at least a week.
- Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and nourished.
- Protect your skin with sunscreen when going outside, as dermaplaning can make your skin more sensitive to the sun’s rays.
- For at least 24 hours, avoid using any harsh or irritating ingredients on your skin, such as retinol or glycolic acid.

FAQs About Dermaplaning Skin Treatments at DermWellesley
Dermaplaning is generally safe for all skin types, including sensitive or acne-prone skin. However, it is always important to consult with a skincare professional before undergoing any treatment to ensure it is appropriate for your individual needs.
The number of dermaplaning treatments needed varies from person to person. Some people may see desired results after just one treatment, while others may require multiple sessions for optimal results. Your skincare professional at DermWellesley can provide recommendations based on your specific skin needs and concerns.
The time between your treatment and when you start to see results may vary. Some patients have reported seeing immediate results, while others may take a few days to see the full effects of dermaplaning.
One common misconception about dermaplaning is that it causes facial hair to grow back darker and faster. However, this is not true. Dermaplaning only removes the vellus hair on the surface of the skin and does not affect the growth or texture of natural hair.
It is recommended that you schedule a consultation with one of our board-certified dermatologists before you undergo a dermaplaning treatment. This will allow us to assess your skin type, determine if you have any underlying conditions that may affect the treatment’s results, and answer any questions or concerns you may have.
During the consultation, our dermatologist will also discuss the goals and expectations for your dermaplaning treatment. They will inform you of any potential risks or side effects and provide aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
Real Patient Testimonials
The entire experience was better than I could have ever anticipated.
After three years of not being able to read for any length of time due to droopy eyelids, I saw Dr Callahan. I can’t thank her enough for giving me back such a precious gift. The procedure and recovery were painless. The entire experience was better than I could have ever anticipated. I am more than thrilled with the results.
Dr. Yasuda is very personable and caring.
She takes an interest in her patients as a whole, not focusing only on their dermatological needs. She explains treatments before she begins them and describes her plan of care at each visit. Her exams are thorough, instilling a sense of confidence in her care.
Had my 1st skin check. Dr. Berg was very thorough.
I had a little something on my leg, so after talking with me about it she froze it and will recheck in 8 weeks. She along with the front desk and intake staff were very welcoming, professional and personable. The office and patient rooms are very clean.
Wow, what a wonderful experience!!
Had a filler/Dysport session with Dr. Goldminz today! Wow, what a wonderful experience!! Not only do I absolutely love my results but she was kind and professional yet unbelievably calming and patient! She spent time explaining everything and really knows her stuff!! Thank you, Thank you, I’m looking forward to my next visit. I highly recommend!
Everyone here is so wonderful.
I first went to see Barb for a full skin check and to discuss melasma treatments. I started with a few Aerolase treatments with Julie that didn’t do much, no fault of hers, just my skin didn’t respond which is a known possibility, so decided to try Fraxel and WOW. I am so glad I did. I was a bit nervous at first but Julie was so patient and kept it real with me on my expectations. She is so great at what she does. I am so pleased with my results and will continue as a patient here for all my skincare. Don’t hesitate on the Fraxel, it’s incredible!!
