Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is more than just a skincare treatment, it’s a revitalizing experience designed to unveil the skin’s natural radiance. This innovative skincare procedure involves using a specialized blade to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface and remove dead skin cells. Not only does it leave your skin feeling incredibly smooth and soft, but it also helps address common concerns such as dullness, uneven texture, and fine lines. By effectively removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning encourages cellular turnover, promoting a brighter, more youthful complexion.
At Le Prestige Medi Spa, we take pride in our cosmetic treatment expertise and dedication to delivering exceptional results, ensuring each client feels confident and rejuvenated.

The Benefits Of Dermaplanning
Dermaplaning offers a multitude of benefits for those seeking smoother, more radiant skin. The exfoliation process removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz), revealing a smoother and softer skin texture. Additionally, dermaplaning stimulates collagen production, a key protein for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. This gentle, non-invasive treatment is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and requires no downtime, allowing clients to resume their daily activities immediately.
Fine Lines
By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, the treatment can temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
Dull Skin
This treatment can help remove dead skin cells from the skin's surface, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. It can improve the texture and tone of the skin.
Peach Fuzz
The exfoliation process removes dead skin cells and vellus hair, commonly known as "peach fuzz," revealing a smoother and softer skin texture, making makeup application easier.
Acne Scars
This treatment can help diminish the appearance of shallow acne scars by removing the top layer of damaged skin cells.
Treatment Process
What to expect for Dermaplaning Treatment
Expected Treatment Results
Clients can expect immediate and noticeable improvements in their skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. Skin feels incredibly soft, and fine lines and wrinkles may appear diminished. Results from one treatment usually last about 3-4 weeks, as dead skin will build up as the skin moves through its natural cellular cycle. At Le Prestige Medi Spa, we emphasize the importance of regular follow-up sessions to sustain the results of dermaplaning.
Before Treatment
At Le Prestige Medi Spa, our dermaplaning process begins with a thorough initial consultation to understand your unique skincare needs and goals. During this consultation, our experienced estheticians will assess your skin type, concerns, and specific focus areas.
During Treatment
Once we’ve established your personalized treatment plan, the dermaplaning process is a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Your esthetician will clean your face with a hydrating cleanser and disinfect the skin with alcohol. Next, we will gently glide a specialized blade across your skin’s surface, effectively exfoliating away dead skin cells and peach fuzz. A white truffle exfoliant is applied to finish the treatment, followed by a hydrating mask, hyaluronic acid serum, moisturizer and sunscreen from our Obaji or Ahohaw product lines. This meticulous process instantly reveals a smoother, brighter complexion without discomfort or downtime.
After Treatment
After your dermaplaning session at Le Prestige Medi Spa, you can expect immediate results without downtime, clients often experience a vibrant glow that enhances their overall appearance.
Treatment Aftercare
We provide personalized aftercare guidance to optimize and prolong the benefits of dermaplaning. Aftercare includes specific recommendations for skincare products and practices to nourish and protect your newly rejuvenated skin. By following these post-treatment care instructions, you can maintain and enhance the results of your dermaplaning treatment.
Follow-up Treatments
Consistent treatments allow for ongoing improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall health. Our team is dedicated to helping you achieve and maintain the radiant complexion you desire, ensuring that each visit to our spa leaves you feeling confident and revitalized.
Introduction to Dermaplanning
During dermaplaning, a trained aesthetician uses a specialized medical-grade tool to carefully exfoliate the skin’s surface, removing the outermost layer of skin and vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz. Microinjury from the tool also triggers the skin’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen production, which helps tighten the skin. This process instantly reveals a brighter and firmer complexion. This treatment also increases the effectiveness of skin care products because removing the barrier of dead skin cells lets the products penetrate deeper, maximizing results.
Manual Exfoliation
Dermaplaning is a type of manual exfoliation that involves using a sterile, single-blade surgical scalpel to gently scrape away dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin.
Non-Invasive
Dermaplaning stands out as a non-invasive exfoliation method, setting it apart from procedures that penetrate deeper skin layers. This non-invasive nature means there is no downtime required, allowing individuals to resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure.
Gentle Exfoliation
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation method that provides a safe and effective way to rejuvenate the skin. Unlike scrubs or chemical peels, dermaplaning relies on the delicate strokes of a surgical scalpel to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair without causing irritation or damage.
