RG – Dermaplaning Skin Rejuvenation in Nashville
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a procedure that exfoliates your skin and gets rid of dirt and vellus hair, better known as “peach fuzz.”
The procedure painlessly exfoliates the stratum corneum to stimulate cellular turnover with little to no downtime. It can be performed prior to treatments like Hydrafacial for better product penetration. Makeup will apply smoother and more evenly. This will not make the hair grow back thicker and darker. Dermaplaning employs a scalpel tool called a dermatome. The aesthetician moves the dermatome, which looks like an electric razor, back and forth to scrape off the top layer of dead skin.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
The exfoliation and hair removal can leave your skin brighter and smoother. The treatment may soften fine lines and wrinkles and ease hyperpigmentation, or uneven skin tone. It’s also used to treat deep acne scars. How well it works really depends on your skin type, tone, and medical history.

What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a procedure that exfoliates your skin and gets rid of dirt and vellus hair, better known as “peach fuzz.”It’s different from dermabrasion, where an aesthetician or doctor uses a high-speed, rotating brush to exfoliate the skin. With dermaplaning, they use a scalpel or a tool called a dermatome. The doctor or aesthetician moves the dermatome, which looks like an electric razor, back and forth to scrape off the top layer of dead skin.
What are the benefits of dermaplaning?
The exfoliation and hair removal can leave your skin brighter and smoother. The treatment may soften fine lines and wrinkles and ease hyperpigmentation, or uneven skin tone. It’s also used to treat deep acne scars. How well it works really depends on your skin type, tone, and medical history.
How to prepare for dermaplaning?
The procedure takes around 30 minutes. It’s best to avoid exfoliating your skin 3 days before. You should also try to avoid direct sunlight or tanning.
Is there downtime after dermaplaning?
There’s no downtime needed to let your skin heal. We recommend using a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30 and a moisturizer afterward. That’s because your skin may be more sensitive.
Who is not a candidate for dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning isn’t recommended if you have inflammatory skin conditions such as:
- Acne
- Rosacea
- Psoriasis
- Eczema
- Sunburn
If you’re taking isotretinoin, a prescription medication used to treat severe acne, you should wait 6 months after you stop taking it to try dermaplaning.
Are there risks and side-effects with dermaplaning?
Most people have little to no irritation or reaction. Short-term side effects may include:
- Red and swollen skin from the scraping
- Soreness
- A burning or tingling sensation for about 48 hours after the procedure
t’s not common for your hair to grow back thicker or darker. But in rare cases, dark hair may grow near your chin or “sideburns.”
Should I consider do it at home dermaplaning?
Do-it-yourself kits and tools are available online and at your local drugstore. But because you’re using a very sharp blade, you may cut your skin when you scrape it. This can lead to infection or other problems. Our aesthetician is highly trained and will help you get the best and safest results.
