Reveal a smoother, brighter complexion with dermaplaning at Nova Aesthetics. This refined exfoliation treatment helps address dull skin, uneven texture, superficial acne scars, and fine facial hair, leaving your skin exceptionally soft and luminous.

Achieve Flawless
Makeup-Ready Skin

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile, medical-grade surgical blade to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (aka peach fuzz). By revealing fresher, healthier skin beneath the surface, dermaplaning improves skin texture, enhances radiance, and promotes a smoother complexion. It also allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively and creates an ideal canvas for flawless makeup application.

Dermaplaning Treats:

Dull, lackluster skin
Uneven skin texture
Dry, flaky skin buildup
Fine facial hair (peach fuzz)
Mild superficial acne scarring
Congested skin caused by excess dead skin cells
Reduced skincare product absorption

Your Complete Dermaplaning Experience

Your treatment begins with a thorough skin assessment and cleansing to remove oil, makeup, and impurities. You will then relax while your provider carefully glides a sterile, medical-grade surgical blade across your skin at a precise angle. This controlled technique gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair without damaging healthy tissue. The treatment is comfortable, requires no anesthesia, and typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. A soothing moisturizer and sunscreen are applied before you leave.

You may notice mild redness or sensitivity for a few hours, but there is little to no downtime. Your skin typically feels smoother and appears brighter right away. Consistent sun protection and a quality skincare routine help maintain your results, while treatments every 3 to 6 weeks can keep your complexion consistently refined and radiant.

FAQs

Will My Facial Hair Grow Back Thicker or Darker?

No. This is one of the most common misconceptions about dermaplaning. The treatment removes fine vellus hair at the skin’s surface without affecting the hair follicle. Because the follicle is unchanged, your hair will grow back at the same color, texture, and rate as before.

Can I Combine Dermaplaning With Other Treatments?

Yes. Dermaplaning is frequently incorporated into a customized facial rejuvenation plan. By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, it can enhance the effectiveness of treatments such as facials, Hydrafacial, chemical peels, and selected laser procedures. During your consultation, your provider will recommend the safest combination based on your skin type and goals.

How Often Should I Schedule Treatments?

Most patients achieve the best results by scheduling dermaplaning every 3 to 6 weeks, which aligns with your skin’s natural renewal cycle. Your provider may recommend a different schedule depending on your skin concerns, lifestyle, and overall skincare plan.
