Dermaplaning in Falls Church, VA
A smoother complexion does not always require an intensive resurfacing treatment or extended recovery. Dermaplaning provides precise surface exfoliation by removing accumulated dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz. At Skin and Wellness Centre in Falls Church, our Dermaplane Facial builds on this technique with additional professional skincare treatments designed to leave the complexion smooth, refreshed, and ready for makeup or skincare application.
Our experienced skincare professionals provide personalized treatments based on the condition and needs of your skin. Call Skin and Wellness Centre today at 703-532-0006 or visit our website to book your dermaplaning appointment.
What is Dermaplaning?
If you are wondering “what is dermaplaning”, it’s simple: dermaplaning is a form of physical exfoliation performed with a specialized blade. The blade is carefully passed across the skin to remove the outermost buildup of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair. Unlike treatments designed to reach deeper layers of the skin, dermaplaning concentrates on creating a smoother, more refined surface.
Removing this buildup can immediately improve how the skin looks and feels. Makeup may apply more evenly afterward, while skincare products have a freshly exfoliated surface for application. Dermaplaning also removes peach fuzz temporarily without changing the structure of the hair follicle, so the hair will not grow back thicker or darker.
Skin and Wellness Centre incorporates professional dermaplaning into its 60-minute Dermaplane Facial for $180. Our Master Estheticians perform the exfoliation as part of a complete facial treatment tailored to your complexion.
What Can You Expect From a Dermaplane Facial?
Your Dermaplane Facial begins with professional preparation of the skin before the dermaplaning portion of the treatment removes surface buildup and fine facial hair. The process should not involve cutting into the skin, and dermaplaning is generally considered a low-risk, minimally invasive form of exfoliation when performed by a trained professional.
Skin and Wellness Centre then extends the treatment beyond dermaplaning alone. The facial incorporates Biosonix Ultrasound therapy, a calming and hydrating mask, LED Ionized Oxygen, and Light Therapy to create a more comprehensive skincare experience.
The complete treatment lasts approximately 60 minutes and requires no scheduled downtime. Some temporary sensitivity or irritation is still possible after exfoliation, making appropriate aftercare and sun protection important.
What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning addresses two common surface concerns at the same time: accumulated dead skin and fine facial hair. Removing both leaves the complexion feeling noticeably smoother and can improve the appearance of dull or uneven surface texture.
The treatment can be particularly useful before an event or another occasion when smooth makeup application is a priority. Without the layer of dead skin and peach fuzz sitting at the surface, foundation and other complexion products can apply more evenly.
Dermaplaning can also complement an established professional skincare routine. Skin and Wellness Centre offers a Dermaplane Treatment as a $180
facial enhancement, allowing clients to add this exfoliation technique to another appropriate service.
Is Dermaplaning Right for Your Skin?
Dermaplaning can be appropriate for many clients interested in surface exfoliation, but the condition of your skin matters. Active acne, irritated or broken skin, eczema or other active skin concerns may make dermaplaning inappropriate until the area has healed.
A professional evaluation is particularly useful if you are deciding between different exfoliation treatments. Skin and Wellness Centre offers dermaplaning alongside chemical peels, diamond microdermabrasion, Biologique Recherche treatments, OxyLight® services, and other advanced facials, giving our Master Estheticians several approaches to consider based on your complexion.
Your esthetician can assess your current skin condition and discuss which treatment makes sense for the results you want to achieve.
Dermaplaning FAQs
The 60-minute Dermaplane Facial at Skin and Wellness Centre costs $180. Dermaplaning is also available as a $100 facial enhancement for clients who want to incorporate it into another appropriate treatment.
Dermaplaning is generally not considered painful, although you may feel a light scratching or scraping sensation as the blade moves across the skin. The procedure removes surface skin cells and vellus hair without making surgical incisions.
Skin and Wellness Centre lists its Dermaplane Facial as requiring no downtime. Temporary redness, sensitivity, or irritation can still occur, so follow your esthetician's aftercare instructions and protect freshly exfoliated skin from excessive sun exposure.
No, dermaplaning does not cause vellus hair to grow back thicker or darker. Cutting hair at the skin's surface does not change its follicle or natural growth pattern.
The appropriate frequency depends on your skin and the other treatments in your skincare routine. Your Master Esthetician can recommend when to schedule another Dermaplane Facial after evaluating how your skin responds.
Dermaplaning may not be appropriate over active acne, open or irritated skin, or certain active skin conditions. A professional consultation allows your esthetician to examine your complexion before proceeding and recommend another service when appropriate.
