Dermaplaning Treatment

What Is Dermaplaning Treatment?
Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive exfoliating treatment using a precision blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair. This highly effective treatment reveals smoother, brighter skin within a few sessions. Dermaplaning is your perfect treatment if you are prepping yourself for an event or even as a regular skincare routine for long-term skin health and natural radiance.


How Does Dermaplaning Treatment Work?
During your dermaplaning session, our trained aesthetician carefully glides a sterile blade across your skin’s surface. With the help of this facial exfoliator blade, the top layer of dead skin and vellus hair is removed, clearing the way for better product absorption and a flawless finish. The entire process is pain-free, with immediate results and zero recovery time.

At Cara Mia MedSpa, before beginning with the treatment, our specialist thoroughly examines your skin to ensure it's suitable for dermaplaning (no active acne, open wounds, etc.). Then your face is thoroughly cleansed with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.

An alcohol-free toner or antiseptic solution is applied to ensure the skin is sterile and free from any remaining debris. This step helps prevent post-treatment irritation or breakouts.

Using a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel held at a 45-degree angle, the practitioner gently scrapes the skin in small, upward strokes. This removes dead skin cells, built-up debris and fine vellus hair.

After dermaplaning, a calming serum containing hyaluronic acid is applied to rehydrate and soothe the skin. Since the skin is now highly absorbent, this step enhances the penetration of active ingredients.

The session ends with applying a well-hydrating moisturizer followed by broad-spectrum SPF to protect the newly revealed skin from sun damage.
What are the benefits of Dermaplaning Treatment?
Dermaplaning gently removes dead skin and fine hair to reveal smoother and clearer skin. With dermaplaning treatment, you will notice an instant improvement in the texture and tone of your skin with reduced dullness and fine lines. This non-invasive treatment leaves your skin looking fresh, without any harsh ingredients or recovery time, and helps better absorption of your skincare products.
Who should go for Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is perfect for you if you are looking to brighten your skin complexion instantly. The treatment is beneficial for dry, dull, or flaky skin and safe for all skin tones. Additionally, dermaplaning is your gentle alternative skin care solution if you are sensitive to acids and skin peelers.
