Dermaplaning
Reveal Smoother, Brighter, More Radiant Skin
Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment that instantly removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), revealing smoother, healthier-looking skin with no downtime.
At Kingwood Skin Essentials, every dermaplaning treatment is customized to your skin’s unique needs. Whether performed as a standalone treatment, added to another service, or incorporated into one of our customized facials, dermaplaning helps improve skin texture, enhance product absorption, and create a flawless canvas for makeup application.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with fine facial hair.
The treatment immediately leaves the skin feeling smoother, looking brighter, and allows medical-grade skincare products to penetrate more effectively.
Unlike at-home shaving, dermaplaning is a precision treatment performed by experienced aesthetic providers under physician oversight. It is designed to improve the overall health and appearance of your skin—not simply remove facial hair.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning offers immediate improvements in both skin texture and appearance.
Benefits include:
- Instantly smoother skin
- Brighter, more radiant complexion
- Gentle removal of dead skin buildup
- Removal of fine facial hair (peach fuzz)
- Improved makeup application
- Better absorption of medical-grade skincare products
- Softer appearance of fine lines
- Smoother skin texture
- Healthier-looking skin
- Little to no downtime
Contrary to popular belief, dermaplaning does not cause facial hair to grow back thicker or darker.
How We Customize Dermaplaning
At Kingwood Skin Essentials, dermaplaning is never a one-size-fits-all treatment.
Depending on your skin goals, it may be performed as:
Standalone Dermaplaning: A 30-minute treatment designed to quickly refresh your skin through gentle exfoliation.
Dermaplaning Enhancement: Added to another treatment to improve exfoliation, enhance product absorption, and maximize overall results.
Customized Facial with Dermaplaning: Dermaplaning can also serve as the exfoliation step within one of our customized facial treatments, creating the ideal foundation for additional technologies, medical-grade skincare, and treatment enhancements.
During your consultation, your provider will recommend the option that’s best suited for your skin and aesthetic goals.
What to Expect During Treatment
Every appointment begins with a personalized skin consultation to evaluate your skin and discuss your concerns.
Your treatment may include:
- Skin analysis
- Gentle cleansing
- Dermaplaning exfoliation
- Customized serums and hydration
- Medical-grade finishing products
- SPF protection
A standalone dermaplaning treatment typically takes 30 minutes.
When incorporated into another facial or treatment, your appointment length will vary depending on the customized services selected.
Following treatment, your skin will immediately feel softer and appear brighter. Mild redness is normal and typically resolves within a few hours.
For best results, we recommend wearing sunscreen daily and following the personalized skincare recommendations provided by your provider.
