Dermaplaning in NYC

Instantly smoother, brighter skin and flawless makeup application — here’s how dermaplaning works and what to expect.

Dermaplaning is one of the simplest ways to get an immediate glow. By gently removing dead surface cells and fine “peach fuzz,” it leaves skin remarkably smooth, helps products absorb better, and makes makeup sit beautifully — which is why it’s a go-to before events.

What is dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment performed by a trained esthetician using a sterile surgical-grade blade held at an angle. It lifts away dull surface skin and vellus hair without chemicals or downtime, revealing the fresh skin underneath.

How the treatment works

• Cleanse & dry — skin is cleansed and fully dried for a precise treatment.
• Gentle planing — the blade is swept across the skin in light strokes to exfoliate and remove fine hair.
• Soothe & protect — a calming finish and SPF complete the session.
• Pairs well — it’s often combined with a facial or added before other treatments for deeper product penetration.

The benefits people look for

• Instantly smoother, softer skin
• A brighter, more even-looking glow
• Flawless makeup application
• Better absorption of your skincare products

What to expect at your session

The treatment is quick, comfortable and relaxing — you’ll feel a light brushing sensation. Afterward your skin will feel exceptionally smooth. Because fresh skin is more sun-sensitive, daily sunscreen is a must to protect your results.
