Advanced Medical Dermaplaning in Encino
What it is
Advanced Medical Dermaplaning is a highly precise physical exfoliation procedure that utilizes a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel to meticulously and gently shave away the top-most layer of dead skin cells (the stratum corneum) along with fine vellus hair, commonly known as "peach fuzz." This highly clinical scraping technique instantly removes the physical barriers that trap dirt, oil, and dead tissue on the face. By manually resurfacing the skin, it not only reveals a stunningly bright and smooth layer underneath but also dramatically increases the absorption and efficacy of your daily medical-grade skincare products.
Who's it for
Dermaplaning is an exceptionally safe and universally loved treatment for nearly all skin types, especially those who are pregnant or highly sensitive to the chemicals used in standard peels. It is the perfect prep treatment for anyone wanting a completely flawless, glass-like finish for special events, as makeup will glide on perfectly without clinging to dry patches or invisible hairs. However, it should be avoided by individuals with active, inflamed cystic acne, as the physical exfoliation can irritate active breakouts.
Without pain or downtime.
What to Expect
The procedure is incredibly relaxing, completely painless, and often compared to the gentle sensation of a credit card lightly gliding across your face. During the 30-to-45-minute session, your provider will expertly sweep the blade across your skin, instantly lifting away dull buildup and peach fuzz. There is zero downtime, redness, or recovery required. You will leave the clinic with skin that feels breathtakingly soft, deeply exfoliated, and glowing with an immediate, radiant brilliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will dermaplaning cause my facial hair to grow back thicker, darker, or coarser?
No, this is a total myth. Fine facial vellus hair (peach fuzz) is biologically completely different from terminal body hair (like underarm or leg hair). Slicing the hair at the surface cannot alter the internal hair follicle structure or the hair's genetic growth pattern. Your peach fuzz will grow back at the exact same slow speed, color, and soft texture as before.
Does the dermaplaning procedure hurt?
Not at all. Most patients find the treatment deeply relaxing and soothing. The surgical blade moves across the skin surface with incredibly light pressure. It does not pull, tug, or slice the skin, and feels like a light, pleasant scratching sensation.
How often should I book a Dermaplaning Facial?
To maintain a continuously smooth texture and a vibrant, healthy glow, we highly recommend scheduling a session every 4 weeks . This matches your skin’s natural 28-day cell renewal cycle and removes the fresh layers of dead skin and hair that accumulate over the month.
