In the ever-evolving world of skincare, one treatment has captured the spotlight for its ability to instantly smooth, brighten, and refresh the complexion: dermaplaning. From celebrity red carpets to viral TikTok trends, this simple yet effective exfoliating treatment has become a favorite among skincare enthusiasts — and for good reason. At ANU Medical Spa, we offer dermaplaning as a quick, accessible way to achieve glowing skin while enhancing the results of your skincare routine.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove the outer layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair, often called “peach fuzz.” This treatment provides a smooth, refreshed surface, revealing brighter and more even-toned skin immediately after your session.
Unlike chemical peels or microdermabrasion, dermaplaning is non-invasive, safe for most skin types, and requires minimal downtime. At ANU Medical Spa, we offer dermaplaning for $80 in a 30-minute session, making it a fast and effective way to revitalize your complexion.
The Science Behind the Glow
While the process may appear simple, there’s real science behind dermaplaning’s results:
- Improved Skincare Absorption: Removing dead skin and fine hair allows your serums, masks, and moisturizers to penetrate deeper, enhancing the efficacy of your at-home and in-spa products.
- Stimulated Cell Turnover: Exposing fresh skin beneath encourages natural regeneration, helping improve texture and tone over time.
- Immediate Smoothness: The exfoliation creates a flawless surface for makeup application and leaves skin looking radiant instantly.
In short, dermaplaning is a safe and effective way to unlock smoother, more vibrant skin while preparing your face for maximum skincare results.
Why Dermaplaning Is Trending
Dermaplaning isn’t just a fad — it’s a treatment that combines visible results with convenience and accessibility. Here’s why it has become so popular:
- Instant Results: Unlike some facials that require multiple sessions to notice changes, dermaplaning delivers an immediately smoother and brighter complexion.
- Minimal Downtime: Most clients leave the spa refreshed and ready to continue their day with little to no redness or irritation.
- Versatile and Safe: Dermaplaning is suitable for a wide range of skin types, making it an accessible option for many clients seeking gentle exfoliation.
- Enhanced Product Penetration: Removing the outer skin layer ensures that your skincare products reach deeper, working more effectively.
- Celebrity and Social Media Buzz: Dermaplaning has gone viral on platforms like TikTok, with billions of views showing people achieving red-carpet-ready skin. Celebrities frequently use dermaplaning as a prep step for events, increasing its visibility and desirability.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, dermaplaning works by “shaving away the top layers of your skin … reducing the appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections” and revealing fresher, smoother skin. While formal scientific studies are still growing, dermatologists report high patient satisfaction thanks to its immediate visible improvements and enhanced skincare absorption.
Who Should Try Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is ideal for anyone looking to:
- Achieve smoother, softer skin
- Brighten their complexion and reduce dullness
- Improve makeup application
- Minimize the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture
It’s also a great complementary treatment to facials like Hydrafacial or oxygen facials, enhancing results and helping your skin look and feel its best.
