Dermablading
What Is Dermablading?
Dermablading is a physical exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair using a precise surgical blade. The process smooths the skin’s surface and helps products absorb more effectively. It’s also called dermaplaning, but both refer to the same technique.
Results are immediate and include a cleaner skin texture, better light reflection, and a refreshed appearance.
Who Should Consider Dermablading?
This treatment is well-suited for people with dry, rough, or uneven skin texture and those who want to remove peach fuzz. Unlike some chemical exfoliants, it works for most skin types and is a safe option during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
If you have active acne, infections, or skin irritation, we may recommend postponing treatment or choosing a different option.
What to Expect During Treatment
After cleansing the face, your provider uses a sterile blade to gently sweep across the skin. This process removes buildup and fine hair without cutting or damaging the skin. Most sessions take 30-45 minutes. There’s no pain, no need for numbing, and no recovery time.
What to Expect After Treatment
You might notice slight redness that fades quickly. Makeup applies more smoothly, and skincare products absorb better. We recommend avoiding heavy sun exposure and using SPF to protect your fresh skin. Results usually last a few weeks, depending on your skincare routine and skin type.
Benefits of Dermablading
Dermablading helps smooth texture, remove dullness, and create a more polished appearance. It works well on its own or as part of a broader skincare plan. Because it does not involve chemicals, there’s less risk of irritation, and you can return to your routine right after treatment.
You can also combine dermablading with facials, peels, or other MedSpa services for enhanced results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is dermablading safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Dermablading is gentle and safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. If you have certain conditions like rosacea or acne, we’ll evaluate and advise you on the best approach.
Will facial hair grow back thicker?
No. The soft vellus hairs removed during treatment grow back at the same rate, thickness, and color.
How often can I get dermablading?
Many patients come in every four to six weeks. We’ll recommend the right schedule based on your skin goals.
Can I wear makeup right after dermablading?
Yes. Makeup can be applied the same day and often looks smoother because of the freshly exfoliated surface.
Does dermablading have any downtime?
There’s no downtime. Your skin might look slightly pink after treatment, but this usually fades within a few hours.
