If you want immediately smoother, brighter skin with zero downtime, dermaplaning is one of the simplest and most effective treatments available. Here’s what it involves at Red Lotus Spa in Abbotsford.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment where a provider uses a sterile surgical blade to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (often called “peach fuzz”) from the face. The result is instantly smoother, brighter-looking skin and a flawless base for makeup application.
What Can It Treat?
- Dull, rough skin texture
- Visible peach fuzz
- Uneven makeup application caused by surface texture
- Mild buildup of dead skin cells
Does It Hurt?
No — dermaplaning is generally painless. Most clients describe a light scratching sensation as the blade passes over the skin, and no numbing is required.
Is There Any Downtime?
None. Skin may appear slightly pink immediately after treatment, but most clients return to their normal routine — makeup included — right away.
Will My Hair Grow Back Thicker or Darker?
No. This is a common myth. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) removed through dermaplaning grows back at the same fine texture and colour — the blade doesn’t affect hair follicle structure.
How Often Should I Get Dermaplaning?
Most clients repeat treatment every 3 to 4 weeks, in line with the skin’s natural renewal cycle, though this can vary based on your skin and goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is dermaplaning safe for all skin types? It’s generally well-suited to most skin types, though your provider will confirm it’s right for you during a consultation.
Can I combine it with other treatments? Yes — dermaplaning pairs well with treatments like HydraFacial or a ZO Facial for enhanced results.
Will it make my skin more sun-sensitive? Freshly exfoliated skin can be slightly more sun-sensitive, so sunscreen is recommended afterward.
How long do results last? Smoother texture is visible immediately and typically lasts 3 to 4 weeks before your skin’s natural cell turnover calls for another session.
