Dermaplaning

Precision Exfoliation for Instantly Smoother-Looking Skin

At Agamé Beauté, Dermaplaning is a gentle manual exfoliation treatment designed to remove surface buildup and fine vellus hair, leaving the skin feeling exceptionally smooth and looking more polished.

Using a sterile, specialized blade held at a controlled angle, the treatment carefully glides across the skin’s surface to lift away dead skin cells and fine facial hair. The result is a smoother, softer-feeling complexion that can also provide a clean canvas for skincare and makeup.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation technique that uses a sterile surgical-grade blade to gently remove accumulated surface cells and fine vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz.

Unlike chemical exfoliation, dermaplaning uses controlled physical exfoliation. The technique is performed carefully across the skin’s surface without intentionally penetrating deeper layers of tissue.

It can be used as a standalone treatment or incorporated into a broader facial treatment plan, depending on your skin’s condition and aesthetic goals.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Removes Surface Buildup

Dermaplaning gently removes accumulated dead skin cells from the surface, helping reveal fresher-looking skin.

Removes Fine Vellus Hair

The treatment removes fine facial hair from the surface, creating a smoother feel and more polished appearance.

Creates Smoother-Looking Skin

With surface buildup removed, the complexion can feel softer and appear more refined.

Enhances Skin Radiance

Exfoliation can help reduce the dull appearance associated with accumulated surface cells, leaving the complexion looking brighter.

Creates a Smooth Makeup Base

The removal of surface buildup and fine vellus hair can create a more even surface for makeup application.

Supports Skincare Absorption

With excess surface buildup removed, topical skincare products can be applied more evenly across the skin.

How Dermaplaning Works

1. Consultation & Skin Assessment

Your provider examines your skin and discusses your concerns, current skincare routine, recent treatments, and aesthetic goals.

2. Skin Preparation

The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared before treatment. The treatment area should be free from makeup, oils, and other surface products.

3. Precision Exfoliation

Using a sterile blade held at a controlled angle, your provider makes gentle, precise strokes across the skin.

The technique removes surface dead skin cells and fine vellus hair without intentionally penetrating the deeper layers of the skin.

4. Finishing Skincare

Once exfoliation is complete, appropriate calming and hydrating skincare may be applied according to your skin’s needs.

Your provider will also recommend suitable post-treatment products and sun protection.

What to Expect During Treatment

Dermaplaning is generally well tolerated. You may feel a light scraping or brushing sensation as the blade moves across the skin.

There should not be significant pain during a properly performed treatment.

Immediately afterward, your skin may feel noticeably smoother and softer. Mild temporary redness or sensitivity can occur.

---

What to Expect After Treatment

Because dermaplaning is a surface-level exfoliation treatment, most clients experience minimal interruption to their normal routine.

You may notice:

• Smoother-feeling skin
• A more polished complexion
• Temporary mild redness
• Mild sensitivity
• A smoother makeup application

Avoid picking, rubbing, or excessively touching the treated skin immediately following treatment.

---

Dermaplaning Aftercare

After treatment, your provider may recommend:

• Using gentle, hydrating skincare
• Applying broad-spectrum sunscreen
• Limiting direct sun exposure
• Avoiding harsh exfoliants for a short period
• Avoiding irritating active ingredients as instructed
• Avoiding unnecessary heat or friction
• Following your personalized skincare recommendations

Because freshly exfoliated skin can be more sensitive to environmental exposure, consistent sun protection is especially important.

Important Considerations

Dermaplaning may not be appropriate for everyone or for every skin condition.

Tell your provider if you have:

• Active acne or inflamed breakouts
• Open wounds or skin irritation
• Active skin infections
• Significant skin sensitivity
• Recent facial procedures
• Recent waxing or aggressive exfoliation
• A history of conditions that may affect skin healing

Your provider will assess your skin before treatment and determine whether dermaplaning is appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does dermaplaning make facial hair grow back thicker?

No. Dermaplaning cuts fine vellus hair at the skin’s surface. It does not change the hair follicle or cause the hair to biologically grow back thicker.

As the hair grows back, the freshly cut ends may initially feel different, but this does not mean the hair itself has become thicker.

Is dermaplaning painful?

Dermaplaning is generally comfortable. Most clients feel a light scraping or brushing sensation as the blade moves across the skin.

How often can I have dermaplaning?

Treatment frequency depends on your skin condition and overall skincare plan. Your provider can recommend an appropriate interval based on how your skin responds.

Can dermaplaning help acne scars?

Dermaplaning primarily provides surface-level exfoliation. It may improve the appearance of superficial texture, but it is not designed to treat deeper acne scars.

Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?

Your provider will advise you based on your skin’s condition and the products used during treatment. Some clients may be able to resume makeup relatively soon, while others may benefit from allowing the skin to rest.

Can dermaplaning be combined with a facial or chemical peel?

It may be combined with certain treatments, but not every combination is appropriate. Your provider will determine which treatments can safely be performed together and how they should be spaced.

Is there downtime after dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning generally involves minimal downtime. Mild redness or sensitivity can occur temporarily, depending on your individual skin response.
