You can achieve a smoother, brighter complexion with dermaplaning at Back to 30® clinics in Upstate South Carolina, serving Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, Simpsonville, and Boiling Springs. This skin rejuvenation treatment exfoliates the skin to remove dead skin cells, as well as remove fine facial hair. As one of the least invasive exfoliating treatments available, dermaplaning treatment is easily administered by an expert practitioner. When performed by a well-trained practitioner, dermaplaning is extremely safe. For greater efficacy, we often combine this treatment with chemical peels or IPL photorejuvenation so clients can achieve their aesthetic goals.*

Dermaplaning is a simple facial treatment that uses a specialized surgical blade to remove the top layer of skin (epidermis). This bladed treatment can remove dead skin cells and fine facial hairs, also known as “peach fuzz,” as well as address fine lines and acne scarring in as little as 30 minutes. It is also effective in minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and providing smoother skin for those struggling with aging skin.
Although dermaplaning and microdermabrasion are both used for exfoliation, microdermabrasion differs in its delivery and what it can accomplish. Microdermabrasion uses a combination of microcrystals and suction to remove dry, dead skin cells, while also increasing collagen production. It, however, cannot remove fine facial hairs known for trapping oil and dirt. Because of the more abrasive techniques used in microdermabrasion, dermaplaning may also be more beneficial for clients with skin sensitivities, redness, or rosacea.
Dermaplaning is often recommended for clients with drier skin who have excess peach fuzz. Because it can accomplish deep exfoliation without using harsh chemicals, it is also a good option for pregnant or nursing women. Dermaplaning can be performed as a standalone procedure, or used as a preliminary procedure before other skin rejuvenation techniques to create an even, smoother surface. If you suffer from acne-prone skin or excess oil production, our estheticians may recommend one of our other skin treatments such as a chemical peel or VI peel.
During the procedure, one of our team members will cleanse and prepare your skin with a gentle cleanser, removing any makeup and dirt. Using a sterilized blade, the practitioner will smoothly guide the blade across your face at an angle while holding the skin taught. Treatment can generally be completed in about 30 minutes or less, and offers immediate results with minimal side effects and no downtime.
It is not uncommon to experience some minor irritation for the first 24 to 48 hours after your treatment. Following your normal skin care regimen and using a quality moisturizer can help soothe the area. Your skin will be sensitive to sun exposure, so you must wear a high SPF sunscreen to avoid the risk of hyperpigmentation. This is especially important for clients undergoing additional laser treatments, such as laser skin resurfacing or laser hair removal, as these can further affect skin tone.
If you are worried that shaving the hair on your face will cause it to grow back thicker, there is no cause for concern. The type of hair being removed is known as vellus hair. When removed, it should not grow back darker or courser after treatment. We do, however, recommend additional treatments every three to four weeks to help you maintain your results.
Removing dead skin cells also allows for deeper penetration of Take Home Treatments, thus helping you to achieve better results from expensive topical solutions. This is why many of our clients also choose to undergo a chemical peel following dermaplaning, to further enhance skin health and improve the appearance of aging skin and acne scars.
One of the primary benefits of dermaplaning is it can deliver immediate results. This treatment can leave the skin smooth by removing dead skin and facial fuzz, creating a more even base for optimal makeup application. Removing dead skin cells also allows for deeper penetration of Take Home Treatments, thus helping you to achieve better results from expensive topical solutions. In addition, this gentle form of exfoliation can reduce the size of pores, acne scars, and fine lines while improving skin tone and your overall appearance, in turn enhancing your self-confidence.
Dermaplaning can help you achieve the smoother skin by removing damaged, dead skin cells. This facial treatment is ideal for those looking for a non-invasive way to address skin concerns, such as sun damage, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.
