Dermaplaning Facial
Smoother, Brighter Skin in Encinitas & Carlsbad, CA
Dermaplaning gently removes surface buildup and fine vellus hair to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. Choose dermaplaning alone or enhance the treatment with a soothing Phyto-Corrective Mask or a deeply hydrating Collagen Mask.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a professional, non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove dead surface cells and fine vellus hair, often called “peach fuzz.” The treatment leaves the skin feeling immediately smoother and helps create a brighter, more even-looking complexion.
Because surface buildup is removed, skincare products can spread more evenly and makeup often applies more smoothly. Dermaplaning is commonly chosen before events, photo sessions, seasonal skin resets, or whenever the complexion looks dull, dry, or textured.

Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning refreshes the outermost layer of the skin without heat, needles, or prolonged downtime. Results are visible right away, making it a popular option for clients who want smoother skin with a simple, comfortable treatment experience.
Smoother Texture
Gently removes dry, rough surface buildup to create a softer and more refined feel.
Brighter Complexion
Helps reveal fresher-looking skin and reduce the appearance of surface dullness.
Makeup Applies Better
Creates a smoother canvas so foundation and complexion products sit more evenly on the skin.
Better Product Application
Removing surface buildup can help serums, moisturizers, and masks spread more evenly.
How Dermaplaning Works
After the skin is cleansed and prepared, your provider holds the skin taut and uses a sterile, single-use blade at a precise angle to gently exfoliate the surface. The blade is moved in controlled, feather-light strokes to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair.
The treatment is carefully performed around the contours of the face, including the cheeks, forehead, chin, and jawline. Once exfoliation is complete, calming and hydrating products are applied, followed by sun protection.
What Dermaplaning Does Not Do
- It does not make facial hair grow back thicker, darker, or faster.
- It does not involve needles, heat, or chemical exfoliation.
- It does not permanently remove hair.
- It is not a treatment for deep acne scars or significant skin laxity.
- It is not recommended over active inflamed acne, open wounds, or irritated skin.
