Overview
What to know about dermaplaning
Dermaplaning gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) with a sterile blade. The result is immediately smoother, brighter skin and a flawless canvas for makeup and skincare.
It's a gentle, no-downtime treatment that also helps your serums and moisturizers penetrate more effectively. Many patients add it before another treatment or a special event.

Dermaplaning in Bend & Central Oregon, explained
What is dermaplaning, and what does it actually do?
Dermaplaning is a gentle physical exfoliation: a sterile blade is used to remove the outermost layer of dead skin along with the fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”) on the face. The immediate payoff is skin that looks brighter and feels remarkably smooth, with makeup gliding on and skincare absorbing better.
It’s a no-downtime treatment that’s popular before an event — a wedding, a photo shoot, a big night — because the glow is instant. Done in a dermatology setting, it’s also an opportunity to have your skin looked at by professionals who know what a suspicious spot looks like.
Dermaplaning vs. microdermabrasion vs. chemical peel
All three exfoliate, differently. Dermaplaning uses a blade to remove dead skin and peach fuzz with zero downtime. Microdermabrasion uses fine crystals or a diamond tip to buff the surface. A chemical peel dissolves the outer layer with acids for a deeper tone-and-texture reset, sometimes with light peeling afterward.
Dermaplaning is the gentlest and most immediate “glow” option, and it pairs beautifully with other treatments — for example, right before a facial or a peel so products penetrate better. Your provider helps you choose or combine.
Will the hair grow back thicker? And who should skip it?
No — this is the most common myth. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair, and it grows back exactly as it was; the blade doesn’t change its color, thickness, or rate. It does not turn peach fuzz into coarse hair.
Dermaplaning suits most skin types and is a great option for sensitive skin and pregnancy when stronger treatments are off the table. It’s generally not recommended during an active acne breakout, and your provider will advise if your skin needs something else first.
What to expect
Downtime & recovery
Dermaplaning has zero downtime - skin looks instantly smoother and brighter, with makeup gliding on flawlessly afterward. Occasionally there's mild, brief redness.
Because it removes dead surface cells and fine vellus hair, skin feels polished right away and your skincare absorbs better; the effect lasts a few weeks until hair and cells naturally renew.
Aftercare essentials
- Apply sunscreen - freshly resurfaced skin needs it
- Avoid direct sun for 24-48 hours
- Skip strong actives (retinol, acids) for a day or two
- Hydrate; enjoy the glow

Dermaplaning FAQ
Will my hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
No. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair, which grows back at the same texture as before — it does not make hair thicker or darker.
How often should I get dermaplaning?
Many patients enjoy dermaplaning about once a month, aligned with the skin's natural cell-turnover cycle.
Is there any downtime?
None. Skin may be slightly pink briefly, but most patients leave glowing and ready for their day.
Does dermaplaning make hair grow back thicker or darker?
No. This is a myth. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus 'peach fuzz,' which grows back exactly as it was — the blade doesn't change its color, thickness, or rate of growth.
Is dermaplaning better than microdermabrasion?
They're different. Dermaplaning uses a blade to remove dead skin and peach fuzz with no downtime; microdermabrasion buffs the surface with crystals or a diamond tip. Dermaplaning also removes fine hair, which microdermabrasion doesn't. Your provider helps you choose.
Is there any downtime after dermaplaning?
None for most people — skin looks brighter and smoother immediately. It's a popular pre-event treatment for exactly that reason. Mild redness can occur briefly on sensitive skin.
Can dermaplaning be combined with other treatments?
Yes — it pairs beautifully before a facial, chemical peel, or other treatment because removing the dead-skin barrier helps products absorb more effectively. We often combine it for a bigger glow.
Is dermaplaning safe during pregnancy?
Dermaplaning is a gentle physical exfoliation with no chemicals, which makes it a popular choice during pregnancy when stronger treatments are avoided. Let your provider know so they can tailor your visit.
