You are not chasing a dramatic shift. You want your skin to look exactly like itself, cleaner, brighter, more even. You want your routine to actually work. Maybe your foundation has been sitting differently than it used to, or your serums feel like they are landing on top rather than absorbing. This is the reset.

Immediate smoothing of surface texture
Brighter, more even skin tone
Foundation applies and wears differently
Serums and treatments absorb more fully
No downtime
Results are visible the same day

When you arrive, we will assess your skin and confirm that dermaplaning is the right step for where your skin is right now. The treatment itself is quiet, you will feel gentle, sweeping strokes across the skin as the blade clears the surface. Most people are surprised by how comfortable it is.

Downtime: None. Some people notice a faint flush that resolves within a few hours. Sun protection the same day is non-negotiable.

Your results: Immediate. Skin looks brighter and feels smoother before you leave. Most people return every four to six weeks, which aligns with the skin’s natural renewal cycle, and that is when we check in on how your skin is progressing.

Removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells increases how much of what you apply actually reaches where it needs to go.

Dermaplaning manually removes the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of dead skin cells, along with vellus hair, using a sterile surgical blade held at a precise angle. Studies on physical exfoliation confirm that removal of this surface layer meaningfully increases the absorption rate of topically applied actives in the sessions that follow.

FOREHEAD
Surface buildup accumulates evenly across the forehead, dulling texture and creating a slight barrier to anything applied on top. Clearing this layer restores the smooth, even base that reflects light correctly.

CHEEKS
The cheeks carry the most visible vellus hair and the most surface area for buildup. After dermaplaning, this is where the difference in light reflection and foundation application is most immediately noticeable.

JAWLINE AND CHIN
Texture often collects at the edges of the face, around the jaw and chin where product use is lighter and exfoliation is easy to skip. This is where smoothing shows in the overall finish of the face.

UPPER LIP
Fine vellus hair above the lip can affect how makeup sits and how the surface reads in certain lighting. Dermaplaning addresses this area with the same blade precision used across the rest of the face.

TEMPLES
Often overlooked in a skincare routine, the temples collect the same surface debris as the rest of the face. Including this area ensures the brightness and smoothness of dermaplaning is even and complete.
