Dermaplaning

Smooth, radiant skin in 30 minutes.

Dermaplaning uses a surgical-grade scalpel to gently exfoliate dead skin cells and remove fine facial hair (vellus hair) from the skin's surface. The result: noticeably smoother skin, brighter glow, and significantly better product absorption.

At Lemon & Honey, dermaplaning is performed by licensed estheticians trained in advanced technique. We sterilize, prep your skin, and finish with a calming barrier treatment so you leave hydrated, not stripped.

Why here

Smooth skin, with a plan behind it.

Dermaplaning here starts with a skin analysis and ends with a take-home plan, and it pairs with a peel or a full HydraFacial when your skin is ready for more. Guided by The L&H Barrier Method™, so the result is smooth, not stripped.

Why dermaplane

Smoother skin, brighter glow, better makeup.

Instant glow. Removes dead skin cells that dull your complexion. You'll see it in the mirror as soon as you sit up.

Better product absorption. With fine hair and dead skin cleared away, your serums and moisturizer can absorb more evenly.

Flawless makeup application. Foundation glides on smooth. No more dry patches or flakes.

Safe for most skin types. Even sensitive skin tolerates dermaplaning well when done by a trained professional.

Is dermaplaning right for you?

Who it suits, and who should wait.

Dermaplaning is a good fit for most skin types, especially dull, dry or textured skin, peach fuzz that catches makeup, and anyone who wants a smoother canvas before an event. It pairs well with a chemical peel or a HydraFacial, because clearing the surface first helps each treatment work more evenly.

We skip or adjust dermaplaning over active, inflamed breakouts, sunburn, open cuts or cold sores. If you use prescription retinoids or have taken isotretinoin in the past year, tell us when you book. If your skin is currently stinging, flushing or reacting to products, start with our Barrier Repair Facial and dermaplane once your skin has settled.

What happens at your appointment

Your skin expert cleanses and preps your skin, then works in short, light strokes with a sterile, single-use blade held at a shallow angle. It feels like a soft brushing, not a scrape. We finish with calming serums, moisturizer and SPF, so you leave glowing rather than stripped. Most guests are back to their normal day right away.

Aftercare

For two to three days, skip scrubs, acids and retinol, and wear SPF every day. Your skin is freshly exfoliated, which makes it more receptive to products and more sensitive to sun. Keep your routine simple: a gentle cleanser, a hydrating serum and a good moisturizer.

Before an event

Book dermaplaning three to seven days before a wedding, photo shoot or holiday party. Your makeup will sit smoothly, and any temporary pinkness has plenty of time to settle. Planning a full season of events? Our holiday skin countdown maps it out week by week, and chemical peels vs dermaplaning explains which to choose.

Frequently asked

What to expect.

Does the hair grow back darker or thicker?

No. This is a myth. Dermaplaning removes vellus (fine, soft) hair, not terminal hair. It grows back exactly the same texture and color it was before.

Is dermaplaning safe?

Yes, when performed by a licensed esthetician trained in technique. We use single-use, sterile blades and skilled angle work.

How often should I dermaplane?

Once every 3-4 weeks works for most clients. Aligns naturally with monthly facials and skin cell turnover.

Can I dermaplane if I have acne?

We typically avoid dermaplaning over active breakouts to prevent irritation, but we can dermaplane around clear areas. Active cystic acne is a contraindication.

How long do the results last?

The fine-hair removal lasts 3-4 weeks. The glow lasts about 7-10 days as your skin completes its natural turnover cycle.
