Dermaplaning
A manual exfoliation technique performed using a sterile, medical-grade scalpel held at a 45-degree angle to gently scrape away the surface layer of dead skin cells and vellus (peach fuzz) hair. The result is an immediately smoother, brighter complexion with dramatically enhanced makeup application and skincare product absorption.
Treatment Overview
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a precision manual exfoliation technique that uses a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel held at a precise 45-degree angle against the skin. With controlled, gentle strokes, Kat removes the outermost layer of dead, dulling skin cells and vellus hair — commonly called "peach fuzz" — from the face in a single session.
The result is one of the most immediate and satisfying skin transformations available. Skin becomes ultra-smooth — like glass — and the surface light reflection changes entirely, creating a natural luminosity and brightness that no moisturizer can replicate. Makeup application becomes remarkably seamless, and skincare products penetrate significantly better.
Contrary to popular myth: dermaplaning does not cause hair to grow back thicker or darker. Vellus hair is biologically different from terminal hair and is not affected by removal. It grows back at the same texture and color as before — typically within 3–4 weeks.

Candidacy
Who is This Treatment For?
Dermaplaning is suitable for nearly all skin types and tones — it's one of the most inclusive treatments available, particularly valued by those with sensitive skin who cannot tolerate acid-based exfoliation. It's an excellent choice for:
- Visible peach fuzz or vellus hair
- Dull, rough, or dry skin texture
- Sensitive skin that reacts to chemical exfoliants
- Makeup wearers seeking flawless, seamless application
- Pre-event treatment (ideal 1–2 days before)
- Clients wanting enhanced serum and skincare penetration
- Anyone seeking a zero-downtime, immediate-glow treatment
Note: Dermaplaning is not recommended over active acne lesions or highly inflamed skin. Kat will assess your skin prior to treatment.
Your Experience
What to Expect
Thorough Skin Cleanse
Your skin is cleansed and completely dried — dermaplaning requires a clean, dry surface for the scalpel to glide correctly and safely.
Precision Scalpel Exfoliation
Using a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel at a precise 45-degree angle, Kat works across the face in short, controlled strokes — removing dead cells and vellus hair simultaneously. Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle scraping, similar to shaving but far lighter.
Active Serum Application
Immediately post-dermaplaning, active serums are applied to the freshly exfoliated skin — where absorption is dramatically enhanced. Ingredients penetrate far more effectively than on untreated skin.
Moisturize & SPF Finish
The session concludes with hydration and SPF application. You'll leave with an immediately visible, glass-smooth, luminous complexion.
Post-Treatment
Aftercare & Results
Dermaplaning requires no downtime. There is no redness, peeling, or recovery period. Most clients leave the studio and go directly to events, work, or photography — the immediate results make it the ideal pre-event treatment.
After your session, apply SPF daily as your freshly exfoliated skin will be slightly more UV-sensitive. Avoid heavy, comedogenic products for 24 hours and let your skin breathe and absorb.
For maintenance, Dermaplaning is typically repeated every 4 weeks as vellus hair and dead cell buildup return on a monthly cycle. It pairs beautifully with Chemical Peels and Hydro Facials as part of a comprehensive skincare protocol.
The Peach & Fox Difference
Why Choose Peach & Fox
Dermaplaning safety and results are entirely dependent on technique. Correct blade angle, pressure, and stroke direction are essential — imprecise technique can cause micro-nicks or uneven exfoliation. Kat's advanced training ensures every stroke is controlled, consistent, and calibrated for your skin thickness and sensitivity.
