Dermaplaning can be ideal for those who want a natural skin rejuvenation technique or who can’t tolerate chemicals or additives. The treatment involves gently scraping the facial skin with a scalpel to remove the dead skin cells on the surface – the source of dull, lackluster skin. Once completed, your skin will be fresh, glowing, and smooth. The exfoliating effect leaves the skin baby-soft, allowing makeup to be applied easily.

What can dermaplaning do for me?

Dermaplaning can significantly enhance your skin quality, delivering the following results:

  • Restores a fresh glow to dull skin
  • Creates a lovely, smooth skin surface
  • Reduces the look of acne scars
  • Softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reveals fresh, new, undamaged skin
  • Removes facial hair
  • Makeup can be more easily applied
  • Entirely natural and safe

Surface MedSpa – Beauty is our passion.

At Surface MedSpa, we perform custom dermaplaning treatments with advanced health and safety protocols. Our center was established by leading, board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Joel Beck, founder of Beck Aesthetic Surgery in Charlotte. Every procedure is performed with ultimate attention to detail, precision, and with the highest health and safety standards.

What is the treatment experience?

You will be resting comfortably in a treatment chair during a dermaplaning treatment. The dry, dead skin cells are gently and thoroughly removed, which is not painful, but a gentle scratching sensation. If you are very sensitive, a numbing cream or spray can be applied before your treatment, which is typically not needed – the treatment is not painful, as the scalpel is barely pressed against your face and takes only about 30 minutes to complete.

Prepping your skin with dermaplaning: Combination treatments

It may be recommended that you undergo a dermaplaning procedure before a facial, chemical peel, or microdermabrasion. Removing the dead skin cells on the surface of your skin allows skin enhancing products and nutrients to flow into the skin surface far more easily.

Does dermaplaning have a recovery time?

Dermaplaning does not involve any recovery time, although your skin may be slightly reddened after the procedure, which fades rapidly. Your fresh new skin surface is in the ideal condition to absorb skin-enhancing nutrients, and you may choose to apply a custom serum to help plump, firm, and restore your skin. After your treatment, avoid sun exposure, use minimal makeup, and apply a gentle, skin-friendly moisturizer. 

Am I a candidate for dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning can be the ideal treatment for clients who notice the following facial conditions:

  • Dull, dry skin
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Peach fuzz
  • Rough facial skin

How often should I have a dermaplaning treatment?

Your skin cell turnover is about one month, and your dermaplaning treatments should match the skin cell turnover rate, performed every four to six weeks. Every client is unique, and your treatment plan will be crafted to match your skincare needs and the current condition of your skin. At Surface MedSpa, we offer comprehensive skin rejuvenation treatments, and may recommend a combination of treatments, including medical-grade skincare products, a custom skin-renewing, hydrating facial, or other recommended treatment.
