What Dermaplaning is

How it works
The blade lifts away the outermost dead cell layer and fine hair without penetrating live skin, so there is no injury to heal from, just smoother surface immediately underneath.
The procedure, step by step
Skin is cleansed and held taut while the provider works in short, even strokes across the face. About 30 to 45 minutes, often paired with a mask afterward.
What to expect after
Skin looks noticeably smoother right away with essentially no downtime, makeup tends to sit better the same day. Mild pinkness for a short while is possible.
Results and maintenance
A smoother feel and brighter appearance that lasts a few weeks as new cells surface naturally, a good rhythm to repeat rather than a one-time fix.
Care and limits, honestly
Not for active acne breakouts, open lesions or severely irritated skin, the blade needs a calm surface to work safely. Sun protection matters more than usual right after.
