Precision exfoliation
A smoother surface. An immediate glow.
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment that gently removes the outermost layer of dull, dead skin cells and fine vellus hair—often called peach fuzz.
The result is skin that feels smoother and looks brighter, with a more even canvas for skincare and makeup. Treatment is performed in-office and requires no downtime.
Why dermaplaning
Less buildup. More luminosity.
Smoother texture
Removes surface buildup and fine facial hair for a softer, more refined feel.
Brighter appearance
Reveals fresher-looking skin beneath the dull outermost layer.
Better preparation
Creates a smoother canvas for makeup and may complement selected skincare treatments.
The appointment
A meticulous treatment in three calm steps.
The full procedure typically takes about 30 minutes. Your provider will first evaluate your skin and confirm that dermaplaning is appropriate that day.
- 01
Cleanse
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed and dried.
- 02
Exfoliate
Skin is held taut while a sterile surgical blade is guided at a precise angle using short, gentle strokes.
- 03
Finish
Your provider completes the service with skincare selected for freshly exfoliated skin.
Candidacy + care
Gentle for many skin types, but still personal.
Dermaplaning can be considered for many skin types and is an exfoliation option for some patients who are pregnant or nursing. It is not recommended over active cystic acne; treatment should wait until breakouts have cleared.
Your provider will review active irritation, medications, recent procedures, and current skincare before treatment. Freshly exfoliated skin should be protected with the aftercare and sun-protection guidance provided by the Nuderma team.

Dermaplaning, explained.
Does dermaplaning hurt?+
Dermaplaning is generally painless and is often compared with the sensation of shaving. Sensitivity varies, and your provider will explain the process before treatment.
Will facial hair grow back thicker or darker?+
Dermaplaning removes fine hair at the surface; it does not change the follicle or the way that hair grows. Hair returns with its natural color and texture.
How is it different from a chemical peel?+
Dermaplaning uses a sterile blade for physical exfoliation, while a chemical peel uses a solution to create controlled exfoliation. Your provider can help determine which approach fits your skin and goals.
How often should I schedule treatment?+
Frequency depends on your skin, goals, and other services in your plan. The care team will recommend appropriate timing rather than using a fixed schedule for everyone.
Can it be paired with other treatments?+
Dermaplaning may be used to prepare the skin for selected services, including some peels or laser treatments. Combination and timing should be planned by your provider.
Is it safe during pregnancy or nursing?+
Nuderma lists dermaplaning as an exfoliation option for many patients who are pregnant or nursing, but personal medical guidance and provider approval are still important.
Who should avoid dermaplaning?+
Patients with active cystic acne should wait until breakouts clear. Other active skin conditions, irritation, medications, or recent procedures may also affect suitability.
Is there downtime?+
Dermaplaning requires no planned downtime. Follow the provider’s aftercare instructions and protect freshly exfoliated skin from sun exposure.
