Sometimes what your skin needs is a simple, exfoliating treatment to look its best. At Radiant Skin in Zionsville, IN, we recommend dermaplaning for those who want a fresh and radiant complexion for an event or photoshoot without the hassle of peeling skin or downtime. This treatment removes dull surface cells and soft facial hair and brightens the skin.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a noninvasive exfoliating treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to remove the top layer of dead skin cells, along with any peach fuzz that may be dulling the complexion. We hold the blade at an angle that prevents it from cutting the skin and glide it across the surface. Once the whole face is treated, it has a smoother canvas that looks more polished. Dermaplaning is a gentler type of exfoliation that is suitable for more patients, and it does not involve downtime.
The Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning keeps your skin looking its best while making your at-home routine work harder. Some of the benefits of dermaplaning include:
- Instantly smoother and softer skin
- A brighter, more even-looking complexion
- Reduced appearance of fine lines
- Softened acne scars and rough patches
- Better absorption of your serums and moisturizers
- Flawless makeup application with no product caught on facial hair
- No downtime or recovery
- A suitable option for most skin types
If you have a big event coming up or just want to treat your skin, dermaplaning is a good way to get fast, noticeable results.
Am I a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is versatile and suitable for many different skin types and tones. You may be a good candidate for dermaplaning if you are dealing with:
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Dry or flaky patches
- Fine facial hair you would like to remove
- Uneven texture or rough spots
- The early signs of fine lines
Dermaplaning is not recommended if you have active acne breakouts or certain skin conditions. During your consultation, we will review your skin and help you decide whether it is the right fit.
How Does Dermaplaning Work?
Dermaplaning works through manual exfoliation, or the removal of dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. Your skin naturally sheds these cells every 30 days, but this process can slow as you age, and your body may benefit from help in this area. Manual exfoliation can help to unclog pores and boost collagen, and it leads to better product absorption.
What to Expect During Your Dermaplaning Treatment
When you arrive, we will welcome you into one of our private treatment rooms. We will discuss your skin and goals, and then make sure the surface of your skin is clean. You can plan for your treatment to take around 30 minutes.
During the treatment, you will feel a light scratching sensation as we move the blade across your skin, but dermaplaning is not painful. It can be a relaxing process for many because there are no needles, and numbing is not required. Once your esthetician is finished, your skin will immediately feel smoother.
Post-Treatment Care and Results
Once your session is done, you can return to work or your usual errands and responsibilities. Your skin may look a little pink as your body responds to the exfoliation, but this fades quickly and leaves behind a healthy glow.
We recommend protecting your results by staying out of direct sun for the first day or two and applying a broad-spectrum SPF each morning. Your skin will be extra receptive right after treatment, so this is a great time to use your favorite nourishing products. Stick with gentle cleansers for the first 24 hours. You can enjoy smooth results for three or four weeks, and you can schedule regular treatments to maintain your glow.

FAQs
Does dermaplaning make hair grow back thicker?
No, this is a common myth. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair at the surface of your skin, and it does not change the structure or thickness of the hair. Your hair grows back at its natural rate and texture, just as before.
How often should I get dermaplaning?
Most clients schedule dermaplaning every three to four weeks to line up the treatment with the skin’s natural cell turnover cycle. This timing helps keep your complexion smooth and bright. During your first visit, we can recommend a schedule that fits your skin and your lifestyle.
Is dermaplaning the same as shaving?
While both use a blade, they are not the same. Shaving simply removes hair, while dermaplaning is a professional exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin cells along with fine hair. Dermaplaning is not suitable for removing thick facial hair.
Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?
We recommend giving your skin a little breathing room right after your treatment. Waiting a few hours before applying makeup lets your fresh skin settle. Once you do, you will notice your makeup glides on more smoothly than ever thanks to your newly polished surface.
