Dermaplaning Can Help
Gentle manual exfoliation
A specialized surgical blade removes dull surface cells, promoting smoother, brighter skin with minimal to no downtime.
Removes vellus hair
Dermaplaning eliminates fine peach fuzz (vellus hair), helping the skin look clearer and feel softer to the touch.
Instant radiance
The dermaplaning procedure enhances glow right away by lifting away dead skin and buildup that can make skin appear dull.
Helps skincare products penetrate better
With debris and dead skin removed, serums, moisturizers, and other skincare products absorb more effectively into the skin.
Enhances other aesthetic procedures
Many patients pair dermaplaning with treatments like chemical peels, facials, or laser, light, and energy-based resurfacing to increase overall results.
Safe for most skin types
Because it is non-chemical and noninvasive, dermaplaning is a great option for those who are pregnant, nursing, or have sensitive skin conditions.

5/5 STARS
I recently visited Cosmetic Laser Dermatology and had the pleasure of receiving a custom facial treatment from Farzaneh, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience! From the start, the online booking process was super easy and convenient, which was a great first impression. The spa itself is elegant, clean, and absolutely huge. Farzaneh’s treatment room was not only aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly comfortable. She was absolutely incredible—explaining every step of the process as she worked her magic on my skin. My treatment included a dermaplane, a salt facial, extractions, a glycolic peel, and a custom mask while I relaxed under a red light. It was a luxurious experience from start to finish. Before starting, I mentioned concerns about my t-zone texture and discoloration, and Farzaneh tailored the facial to address those areas. The results far exceeded my expectations! My skin felt softer, looked brighter, and I walked out feeling radiant. She even recommended some great products to help me achieve my long-term skincare goals. While it was on the pricier side, I truly believe you get what you pay for in terms of quality. I’ll definitely be returning and am already looking forward to trying more treatments. If you’re looking for a top-notch facial, I highly recommend booking with Farzaneh at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology!
Farzaneh is incredibly warm, kind, and compassionate. Additionally, she is a very knowledgeable medical aesthetician and is highly skilled at her craft. I felt like I was in good hands while she did a thorough examination of my skin, and I appreciated her taking the time to walk me through all of the procedures for my customized facial. Everything from the environment, the explanations, and the procedure itself were calming and relaxing. My skin is already so much healthier and happier after my first session, so I’m looking forward to coming back for more treatments!
I trust Farzaneh Momeni completely with my skin. She is by far the best clinical aesthetician I’ve ever known. My skin has improved dramatically since I began monthly facials with her. Her treatments are 100% results-driven so if this is what you seek, look no further. Also, the entire Team at West Dermatology are top-notch. They’re always friendly, professional, & helpful, & greet everyone with a smile. 10 Stars all around!
I’ve had the most gratifying experience at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology. Leysin is a caring and attentive physician assistant. Thanks to her recommendation based on my skin concerns I met with aesthetician Farzaneh. I was so nervous in my initial Consultation/treatment with her but It was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Farzaneh is the absolute best! She carries the right energy and makes me feel comfortable every single time. She is truly professional, knowledgeable, caring, honest, and delivers results. She is majestic and truly divine.
Dermaplaning FAQ
Dermaplaning is a noninvasive exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz (vellus hair) to reveal smoother, brighter, more refined skin. This manual exfoliation technique uses a sterile surgical blade to gently scrape away surface debris.
A dermaplaning facial includes thorough skin cleansing, gentle exfoliation with a sterile blade to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair, and application of soothing skincare products for immediate radiance and skin smoothness.
Patients enjoy softer skin texture, improved glow and radiance, smoother makeup application, enhanced skincare product absorption, removal of fine facial hair (peach fuzz), and clearer-looking pores after dermaplaning treatments.
Yes. When performed by trained medical aestheticians or skincare professionals, dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and involves minimal to no discomfort. It is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin who cannot tolerate chemical exfoliants.
Most dermaplaning sessions last 15 to 30 minutes depending on your skin condition and the treatment area being addressed, making it an ideal lunchtime treatment option.
Many patients schedule dermaplaning treatments every four to six weeks to maintain bright, refreshed, smooth skin. Your medical aesthetician will recommend the optimal frequency based on your skin type and goals.
No. The dermaplaning process is gentle and typically feels similar to light brushing or shaving. Most patients find the treatment relaxing and comfortable with no significant pain or discomfort.
Absolutely. Dermaplaning is often combined with chemical peels, hydrafacials, JetPeel treatments, or laser, light, and energy-based treatments for enhanced exfoliation and rejuvenation results. Our Skincare Trifecta combines dermaplaning with a chemical peel and hydrafacial in one session.
No. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (fine peach fuzz), not terminal hair. The hair will grow back at the same texture and thickness. This is a common misconception about dermaplaning.
Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade for manual exfoliation and also removes vellus hair, while microdermabrasion uses abrasive crystals or a diamond tip for mechanical exfoliation. Both improve skin texture, but dermaplaning provides the added benefit of hair removal.
