What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a skin treatment in which an experienced aesthetician uses a small sterile surgical blade to remove both hair and dead skin cells from the face.
The blade is held at a 45-degree angle and gently scrapes the outermost skin layer. To achieve this safely, the skin is kept taut, allowing the exfoliating tool to glide smoothly without irritation.
The Multiple Benefits of Dermaplaning
Brighter, More Radiant Skin
Dermaplaning gently exfoliates the top layer of skin, removing dead skin cells that contribute to dullness and breakouts. The result is a fresher, more luminous complexion.
Removal of Facial Fuzz
The procedure removes fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”), leaving the skin smoother and more refined. This improves overall skin texture and appearance.
Enhanced Skincare Absorption
By clearing away buildup and hair, dermaplaning allows serums, creams, and moisturizers to penetrate deeper into the skin. This makes daily skincare products more effective.
A Smooth Canvas for Makeup
With a silky, even surface, makeup applies more evenly and lasts longer. Foundation glides on without streaks, giving a flawless finish.
Support for Skin Firmness
Exfoliation during dermaplaning helps improve skin smoothness and radiance. Collagen stimulation has not been proven for dermaplaning alone. Over time, this helps preserve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Ideal Candidates for Dermaplaning in Montreal
Dermaplaning treatment is suitable for many people. It is often chosen by those avoiding acids or retinoids (for example, during pregnancy). Always consult your provider for personalized advice. It’s an excellent option for those who want their skin to look brighter, smoother, and more even without downtime. However, this cosmetic procedure is not recommended for individuals dealing with active or cystic acne, coarse facial hair, psoriasis (characterized by red, scaly patches), or eczema, as these conditions may be aggravated by the blade.
How Is Dermaplaning Performed?
Skin Preparation
An aesthetician begins by thoroughly cleansing and drying the face to create a clean base for the treatment.
Holding the Skin Taut
The skin is carefully stretched to form a stable surface, ensuring that the exfoliating tool can glide with control and precision.
Blade at a 45-Degree Angle
A sterile surgical blade is positioned at roughly a 45-degree angle to the skin. This technique allows safe and effective removal of dead skin cells and vellus hair.
Gentle Exfoliation
The outermost layer of skin is exfoliated through light scraping, which clears away buildup and fine facial hair, leaving the complexion brighter and softer.
Quick and Comfortable Session
The dermaplaning procedure typically takes about 20–30 minutes, depending on the treatment plan. It is painless and can be booked alone or combined with other treatments for enhanced results.
What are the Risks of Dermaplaning?
Although dermaplaning is considered safe and non-abrasive, some people may experience temporary side effects such as mild redness, irritation, or breakouts, depending on their skin type.

Not Suitable for Certain Skin Conditions
Dermaplaning should be avoided by people with active acne, cold sores, psoriasis, or eczema. The scraping motion of the surgical blade can aggravate these skin conditions rather than improve them.
Short-Term Results
Unlike laser hair removal or waxing, dermaplaning does not provide permanent results. Its benefits generally last between two and four weeks before a follow-up session may be desired.
Results Vary by Individual
Results differ depending on factors such as age, skin condition, and facial hair thickness. Each person’s complexion responds uniquely to the procedure.
What procedures can be combined with dermaplaning?
Facial Peeling
When combined with a chemical peel, dermaplaning treatment can significantly improve the depth and overall effectiveness of the peel. By clearing away dead skin cells and fine facial hair first, the peel penetrates more evenly across the face, leaving the skin smoother, brighter, and more refined.
Microneedling
Pairing dermaplaning with microneedling creates a powerful exfoliation technique. Dermaplaning clears the top layer of buildup, allowing microneedling and active ingredients in skincare products to reach deeper layers of the skin. Together, these procedures help reduce uneven skin tone, fine lines, scars, and enlarged pores while promoting a healthier-looking complexion.
What Are the Alternatives to Dermaplaning?
A common alternative to dermaplaning is microdermabrasion. Both procedures are cosmetic treatments designed to improve skin texture and appearance through gentle exfoliation.
While dermaplaning relies on a sterile surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz, microdermabrasion uses an exfoliating tool to “sand” the surface. This may involve fine crystals blasted onto the skin or a specialized device that directly polishes away dead cells.

Both dermaplaning and microdermabrasion share similarities in:
- Balance and safety
- Possible side effects and complications
- Long-term skin care considerations
- Reimbursable expenses in some cases
Microdermabrasion typically requires several sessions, with results that are temporary and require maintenance.
If you are uncertain which procedure is best suited to your skin type or concerns, consulting with a skincare specialist at Clinique FaceMD will help you make the most informed choice.
