What Is a Dermaplane Treatment and How Does It Improve Skin Texture?

Share On

In the quest for radiant, youthful skin, many women explore various treatments that promise to turn back the clock. Among the most popular and effective is a dermaplane treatment, a non-invasive procedure gaining significant traction for its immediate and noticeable results. If you’re looking for a way to improve your skin’s texture and achieve a smoother, more luminous complexion, understanding dermaplane is your next step.

How Dermaplane Removes Dead Skin and Peach Fuzz for a Smoother Complexion

At its core, a dermaplane treatment is a form of manual exfoliation. During the procedure, a trained aesthetician uses a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel at a 45-degree angle to gently “shave” the surface of your skin. Don’t let the word “scalpel” intimidate you – it’s a precise and safe technique when performed by a skilled professional.

The magic of dermaplane lies in its ability to simultaneously address two common skin concerns:

  • Dead Skin Cell Buildup: Our skin naturally sheds dead cells, but sometimes, this process can be uneven, leading to a dull, rough, or flaky appearance. The dermaplane blade effectively scrapes away this accumulated layer of dead skin cells, revealing fresh, healthy skin underneath.
  • Vellus Hair (Peach Fuzz): That fine, soft facial hair, often referred to as “peach fuzz,” can trap dirt, oil, and makeup, contributing to a less smooth texture. Dermaplane removes this vellus hair, leaving your skin incredibly smooth to the touch. Contrary to popular myth, shaving this hair will not make it grow back thicker or darker. It will grow back the same as before.


The result is an instantly smoother, brighter, and more refined complexion. Fine lines can appear less prominent, and the overall tone of your skin looks more even.

The Benefits for Enhancing Skincare Absorption and Makeup Application

Beyond the immediate textural improvement, a dermaplane treatment offers significant long-term advantages for your skincare routine and makeup application:

  • Enhanced Skincare Absorption: By removing the barrier of dead skin cells and peach fuzz, dermaplane allows your serums, moisturizers, and other anti-aging products to penetrate more deeply and effectively. This means you’ll get more out of your expensive skincare products, maximizing their benefits.
  • Flawless Makeup Application: Imagine your foundation gliding on seamlessly without catching on dry patches or peach fuzz. Dermaplane creates a perfectly smooth canvas, allowing makeup to sit beautifully and last longer, giving you that airbrushed finish you’ve always desired. This smooth surface also prevents makeup from settling into fine lines and wrinkles, making your skin look even younger.
