Exfoliation · Scottsdale
Fine vellus hair and dead skin removed in one pass, leaving skin brighter and smoother. The go-to treatment before weddings, shoots, and special events — and a monthly favorite once you feel the difference.
Why clients book it
The change is same-day and you can feel it. No waiting weeks for a result to develop.
Foundation sits flat instead of clinging to fine hairs. This alone is why most clients rebook.
Serums penetrate properly once the dead layer is gone, so the routine you already own performs better.
Dullness lifts immediately, and superficial pigmentation and fine lines look softer.
Regular sessions support smoother skin and can refine the appearance of superficial acne scarring.
Walk out and go straight to lunch, the office, or an event. There is no redness to hide.
Your visit
Around 45 minutes, or 60 with a facial
Skin check
A quick review of your skin's condition, any active breakouts, and what you have used in the past week. Active inflamed acne means we work around it or reschedule.
Double cleanse and dry
Skin is cleansed thoroughly and dried completely. Dermaplaning is performed on dry skin — that is what allows the blade to lift cleanly.
The pass
Skin held taut, short strokes across forehead, cheeks, jaw, chin, and upper lip. Painless — most clients describe a soft brushing sensation.
Serum, mask, hydration
With the surface freshly cleared, this is the ideal moment for actives. A hydrating or brightening serum, then a calming mask.
SPF and aftercare
Mineral SPF applied before you leave, plus a short list of what to skip for the next 48 hours.
No. Vellus hair regrows at the same texture and color. Cutting hair does not change the follicle. It can feel briefly blunt at the tip as it returns, which is where the myth comes from.
Wear mineral SPF daily without exception, keep skin hydrated, and skip retinoids, acids, scrubs, direct sun, saunas, and hot yoga. Heavy makeup waits until tomorrow.
Book five to seven days before. Skin has settled fully and is at its smoothest and most receptive to makeup.
Dermaplaning suits you if you want brighter, smoother skin with no downtime, find makeup catches on fine facial hair, have dry, dull, or textured skin, or cannot tolerate chemical peels and have sensitive skin.
Wait if you have active, inflamed, or cystic acne, an active cold sore, rash, or open lesion, a current sunburn, take isotretinoin or stopped within six months, or have rosacea in an active flare.
Every four weeks suits most people. More frequently than every three weeks risks leaving the barrier over-exfoliated.
Protect and hydrate your skin: use mineral SPF daily and avoid exfoliating or heat-based activities for the first 48 hours.
Questions
No. Vellus hair regrows with the same thickness and color as before, because the blade only cuts the hair at the surface and does not affect the follicle. Regrowth can feel slightly blunt for a few days, which is where the myth started.
No. There is no numbing needed and no discomfort. Most clients describe it as a light brushing sensation and find it relaxing.
Every four weeks suits most people, which follows the skin's natural cell turnover cycle. Going more often than every three weeks can leave the barrier over-exfoliated.
None. You may notice mild pinkness for an hour or two. Makeup can go on the next day and normal activity resumes immediately.
If your acne is active, inflamed, or cystic, we will postpone — passing a blade over active lesions risks spreading bacteria. For congestion, closed comedones, or post-acne texture, dermaplaning is usually a good fit.
Five to seven days ahead is the sweet spot. Your skin has settled fully and is at its smoothest and most receptive to makeup.
Yes. It pairs especially well before a hydrating facial or LED session. We would space it a week apart from microneedling rather than stacking the two.
