Procedure time
The total time can take anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes, including preparing your skin and the soothing treatment applied afterwards.
Performed by
Dr. Jennifer Gardner, MD, a board-certified dermatologist with 20 years of experience.
Anesthesia

Recovery

Frequently Asked Questions

Is dermaplaning painful?

No. Dermaplaning is normally painless, and most patients say it just feels like a light scraping on your skin.

Does dermaplaning make your hair grow back thicker?

No. This claim is just a myth. Dermaplaning does not make facial hair grow back any thicker, darker, or faster.

How long does a dermaplaning session take?

Most sessions only take between 30 and 45 minutes.

How often should you schedule dermaplaning treatments to keep your results?

Dermaplaning sessions are recommended about every 4 weeks to help keep your skin looking smooth and healthy.

Can dermaplaning treatments help reduce the appearance of acne scars?

These treatments exfoliate your skin’s top layer, promote cell turnover and can help to gradually diminish the appearance of shallow acne scars.

How long does dermaplaning recovery take?

There is no recovery time needed after dermaplaning. Your skin may appear dark pink or a bit red, like a mild sunburn, for a few hours after your dermaplaning session.
