For an instantly smoother, more polished complexion, dermaplaning gently removes dead surface skin cells and fine facial hair to reveal brighter, softer skin beneath. At Burchhardt Facial Plastic Surgery, dermaplaning offers a simple yet effective way to refresh dull or textured skin, enhance your natural radiance, and create the perfect foundation for skincare and makeup—with no downtime.
Reveal smoother, brighter skin with no downtime
Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to carefully remove dead surface skin cells and fine vellus hair, often referred to as “peach fuzz.” The result is immediately smoother, softer, and more radiant-looking skin.
By removing surface buildup, dermaplaning can also enhance the absorption of skincare products and allow makeup to apply more smoothly and evenly. It may be performed as a standalone treatment or incorporated into a customized facial or skincare plan for enhanced exfoliation and skin renewal.

Dermaplaning FAQs
How does dermaplaning work?
Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the surface of the skin. This controlled exfoliation reveals smoother, brighter skin beneath, promotes epidermal turnover, and enhances light reflection for a brighter appearance. By clearing this barrier, dermaplaning also improves the penetration of active skincare ingredients.
Will my hair grow back thicker or darker?
No, your vellus hair will grow back at the same rate, with the same texture, color, and thickness as before treatment. Dermaplaning does not alter the structure of your hair follicles.
Is dermaplaning safe for my skin?
Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types when performed appropriately. Because every patient’s skin is different, we will evaluate your skin quality and any active concerns to determine whether dermaplaning is appropriate for you.
How often should I get dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning can typically be performed every three to four weeks, depending on your skin type, concerns, and overall skincare plan. It may also be incorporated periodically into customized facials or other skin treatments.
Will there be any downtime?
There is little to no downtime after dermaplaning. Your skin may appear slightly pink or feel more sensitive immediately following treatment, but this typically resolves within a few hours. Most patients return to their normal activities right away.
Can you combine dermaplaning with other treatments?
Yes, dermaplaning pairs beautifully with customized facials, hydrating treatments, and select chemical peels. By removing dead surface skin cells and vellus hair, dermaplaning creates a smooth foundation for additional skincare treatments and can be incorporated into a personalized skin rejuvenation plan.
