Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Dermaplanning Facial.

Most clients experience no pain; dermaplaning feels like gentle scraping. A licensed esthetician performs precise strokes with a sterile blade, and any mild sensitivity resolves quickly. Numbing is not typically necessary unless combined with other procedures.

A standard session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes, including consultation and aftercare guidance. If paired with additional treatments like a facial mask or chemical peel, expect closer to 60 minutes for a comprehensive experience.

Most people with dry, dull, or textured skin benefit, especially those wanting smoother makeup application. Avoid dermaplaning if you have active acne, open wounds, or certain skin conditions; a consultation will determine suitability and tailored care.

You will notice immediate brightness and smoother texture right after treatment. Optimal skin improvement continues over the next few days as products penetrate deeper. Results typically last three to four weeks depending on skin type and homecare routine.

We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying heavy makeup to allow skin to recover and for topical products to absorb. If you must, use mineral or non-comedogenic makeup and ensure clean brushes; discuss personalized aftercare during your appointment.

Mild redness or sensitivity can occur for a few hours to a day, and occasional pinpoint bleeding is rare. With proper aftercare — sun protection and gentle products — side effects resolve quickly. We will provide detailed post-treatment instructions.
