How to Prepare

Proper preparation helps maximize the benefits of your treatment while protecting your skin. Follow these steps before your appointment:

Personalized Consultation: Your visit begins with a skin analysis and consultation with our expert skincare specialists. We’ll assess your skin type, concerns, and treatment goals to confirm Dermaplaning is the right option for you.

Discontinue Active Products: Stop using exfoliants such as retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or other AHAs/BHAs for at least 3 to 5 days prior to your treatment to prevent irritation.

Avoid Direct Sun Exposure: Refrain from tanning or spending prolonged time in the sun to reduce sensitivity and avoid the risk of post-treatment redness.

Clean, Makeup-Free Skin: Arrive at your appointment with a freshly cleansed face free of makeup, lotions, or skincare products to ensure optimal treatment effectiveness.

What to Expect

We prioritize your comfort while delivering immediate, visible results. Here's what you can expect:

Quick, Efficient Session: Dermaplaning typically takes 30 to 40 minutes, making it easy to fit into a lunch break or busy schedule.

Precise Exfoliation: Our trained skincare professionals gently glide a sterile surgical blade across the skin’s surface to remove dead cells and fine facial hair with expert precision.

No Discomfort: The treatment is completely painless, most clients describe it as a light brushing sensation or even relaxing.

Instant Glow: You’ll see and feel the difference immediately: smoother texture, brighter tone, and a clean, radiant finish.

No Downtime: You can return to your normal activities right away, making this a perfect prep treatment before events or photoshoots.

Aftercare

After your treatment, it’s important to care for your newly exfoliated skin to maintain that radiant glow and prevent irritation:

Use Gentle Products: Stick to mild, hydrating cleansers and moisturizers for the first few days. Avoid using active ingredients like retinol, acids, or harsh exfoliants for 5–7 days post-treatment.

Prioritize Sun Protection: Your skin will be more photosensitive, so apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, even if you’re staying indoors. This protects your fresh skin from UV damage and hyperpigmentation.

Avoid Heat and Sweating: Steer clear of intense workouts, saunas, or hot showers for the first 24 hours to allow your skin to settle.

Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and keep your skin well-moisturized to support cell renewal and maintain your smooth, glowing results.

Skip Makeup (If Possible): If you can, wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to avoid clogging freshly exfoliated pores.

Your Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know before booking your Dermaplaning.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair (commonly referred to as peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin. This process reveals a brighter, smoother complexion while stimulating cell turnover for a more youthful appearance.

It also helps unclog pores and allows for better absorption of skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness. At Cure MD, our experienced skincare specialists tailor each treatment to your skin’s unique needs to ensure safe, beautiful, and consistent results.

How long do results last?

Results from Dermaplaning typically last between 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your skin type, home care routine, and lifestyle. Since your skin naturally goes through a 28-day renewal cycle, most clients choose to repeat the treatment monthly to maintain smooth, radiant skin.

Regular sessions can lead to long-term improvements in texture, tone, and brightness. Our team will work with you to create a personalized treatment schedule based on your aesthetic goals and skin health.

Is Dermaplaning Safe?

Yes, Dermaplaning is a safe, non-invasive procedure when performed by trained skincare professionals in a controlled, sterile environment. At Cure MD, we use single-use, medical-grade blades and follow strict protocols to minimize any risk of irritation or infection.

This treatment is generally suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, if you have active acne, open wounds, or certain skin conditions, our team may recommend alternative treatments better suited for your current skin state.

Can Dermaplaning be combined with other treatments?

Definitely. Dermaplaning is an excellent add-on to other aesthetic treatments like Chemical Peels, Microneedling, Hydrating Facials, or Laser Rejuvenation. By removing the outer layer of dead skin and hair, Dermaplaning allows these treatments to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

Combining treatments can lead to more dramatic and longer-lasting results. Our skincare specialists will assess your skin and develop a customized treatment plan that addresses multiple concerns in one visit.

When will I see results?

Results from Dermaplaning are visible immediately after your treatment. You’ll notice an instantly smoother texture, enhanced radiance, and a refreshed overall appearance.

Many clients also find that makeup applies more evenly and skincare products absorb more effectively in the days following. As your skin continues to regenerate, you may see ongoing improvements in tone and clarity over the following week.

Are there any side effects?

Dermaplaning is associated with minimal side effects, especially when performed by an experienced professional. Some clients may experience mild redness or a tight sensation right after the procedure, which typically subsides within a few hours.

There is no downtime, and most clients return to their normal routines the same day. Our team will provide clear aftercare instructions to support healing and ensure optimal results, especially if combining with other treatments.

Am I a good candidate for Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is well-suited for most individuals seeking smoother, brighter, and more refined skin. It’s especially beneficial for those dealing with dullness, fine lines, dry patches, superficial acne scars, or unwanted facial hair. However, it may not be ideal for individuals with active acne, eczema, rosacea, or highly reactive skin.

During your consultation at Cure MD, our skincare professionals will evaluate your skin condition and goals to determine if Dermaplaning is the best option or if a different treatment is better suited for your needs.

Will hair grow back thicker or darker after Dermaplaning?

No, Dermaplaning does not alter the color, thickness, or growth rate of facial hair. The treatment removes vellus hair, which is naturally soft and fine, and it will grow back in the same texture and appearance as before.

It’s a common myth that hair grows back thicker, but this is not supported by science. You can confidently schedule regular Dermaplaning sessions without concern for unwanted hair changes, and enjoy consistently smooth, glowing skin.
