Technique: How Dermaplaning Works
Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade held at an angle to lift away dead surface cells and fine vellus hair often called peach fuzz. A trained esthetician performs short, precise strokes across clean skin, removing the light buildup that sits on the surface. When added to a facial, this mechanical exfoliation prepares the skin for the serums and masks that follow.
Because dermaplaning is gentle and requires no downtime, it suits clients seeking a visibly smoother finish without adding recovery time to an appointment. Results are immediate: makeup sits flatter and skin catches light more evenly after treatment. As an add-on, it typically takes 15 MINUTES and is priced starting at $50, making it an efficient option for busy Henderson clients.
What To Expect During Treatment
During your appointment the skin is first cleansed and examined, then the esthetician performs dermaplaning with steady, short strokes. Because Exotica Skin Care offers this as an add-on to facials, the blade work integrates into the larger treatment sequence so serums and masks are applied immediately afterward. The procedure is brief and suited to clients balancing errands, work, or family schedules in Henderson's Seven Hills area.
Most clients feel only light pressure and report minimal discomfort; because surface cells and fine hair are removed, topical products absorb more readily. You can expect to put on makeup right away if desired. In Henderson's dry, sunny climate, we recommend using broad-spectrum sunscreen after treatment and maintaining routine hydration to support the refreshed surface, especially during hot, dry months.
Choosing Dermaplaning As An Add-On
Deciding whether to add dermaplaning depends on your makeup and skincare goals, schedule, and the facial you select. If you want smoother makeup application and better product absorption without extra recovery time, dermaplaning is a practical choice. Because it pairs smoothly with masks and serums used in our facials, technicians will recommend timing within the appointment to maximize immediate effects.
