A gentle exfoliation that lifts away dead skin and fine facial hair in one session — revealing brighter, softer skin and a flawless base for makeup. No downtime, immediate results.
Dermaplaning is one of the few treatments that delivers visible results the moment you leave. Using a sterile surgical blade held at a precise angle, your practitioner removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with vellus hair — the soft, fine hair that traps oil and dulls the complexion.
The effect is immediate: skin looks brighter, feels noticeably smoother, and makeup sits flat instead of catching on texture. It also clears the way for your skincare to actually work, since products absorb far better without a barrier of dead cells in the way.
It's gentle enough for most skin types, requires no recovery, and pairs beautifully with a Hydrafacial. At AghaSA, we'll assess your skin first and tell you honestly whether dermaplaning is the right fit — or whether something else would serve you better.
1
Immediate smoothness and glow
Results are visible the same day. Skin looks brighter, feels softer, and reflects light more evenly the moment the treatment ends.
2
Flawless makeup application
Without fine facial hair and surface buildup, foundation glides on smoothly and sits flat rather than clinging to texture. It's why dermaplaning is a favorite before weddings and events.
3
Better product absorption
Removing the dead-cell barrier allows serums and moisturizers to penetrate more effectively — so the skincare you're already paying for delivers more.
Choosing a treatment shouldn't feel like guesswork. Here's what most people ask before their first visit — and if your question isn't here, just ask us.
No. This is the most common concern and it's a myth. Vellus hair grows back at the same texture, color, and rate as before — cutting hair doesn't change the follicle.
Not at all. Most people describe it as a light scraping or brushing sensation. There's no numbing required and the treatment takes about 30 minutes.
None. Skin may look slightly pink for an hour or so, but you can return to your day immediately. We do recommend sunscreen, since freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV.
Every four to six weeks works well for most people — roughly the length of a full skin cell turnover cycle. Your practitioner will recommend a rhythm based on your skin.
It depends. Dermaplaning suits most skin types, but active inflammatory acne, cystic breakouts, or open lesions should heal first, since the blade can spread bacteria and irritate the area. We'll assess this at your consultation and suggest an alternative if it isn't right for you.
