Dermaplaning in Pennsauken Township, NJ

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skin treatment where a provider uses a surgical-grade blade to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair, known as peach fuzz. It leaves skin smoother, brighter and better able to absorb skincare products.

Yes, when it's done by a trained provider with a sterile, surgical-grade blade. It's a non-invasive treatment with no chemicals or heat involved, which is why it's considered one of the gentler options in the med spa world. The main risks come from doing it yourself with the wrong tool or over an active skin condition, which is why we screen for that at your consultation.

No, that's a myth. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair, the fine, soft "peach fuzz" on your face, not the thicker terminal hair found elsewhere on your body. Shaving or dermaplaning doesn't change a hair follicle's structure, so hair grows back exactly the way it always did: soft, fine and the same color. What people notice is the blunt tip right after treatment, which can feel slightly coarser to the touch for a few days before it softens again.

Not on its own. Dermaplaning itself doesn't cause acne, and removing dead skin and peach fuzz can actually help products absorb better and pores look clearer. That said, we don't recommend it over active cystic acne or inflamed breakouts, since gliding a blade over irritated skin isn't comfortable or ideal. If your skin is in an active flare, we'll talk through timing or a different treatment instead.

Results typically last about three to four weeks, roughly matching your skin's natural cell turnover cycle. That's why monthly sessions are the most common way to maintain the smoothness and glow between visits.

A professional treatment uses a surgical-grade scalpel and trained technique to safely remove dead skin and peach fuzz with precise control, minimizing the risk of nicks or irritation. At-home dermaplaning razors and sonic tools can offer a lighter version of the same idea for touch-ups between visits, but they don't reach the same depth of exfoliation and carry a higher risk of cuts or uneven results in untrained hands.

About once a month works well for most people, since that lines up with how often skin naturally renews itself. Some people space sessions further apart and still see good results, especially if they're pairing it with a solid home skincare routine.

Most skin types, including sensitive skin, since there's no heat, chemicals or needles involved. It's a good fit if you deal with dullness, visible peach fuzz, or want smoother makeup application and better product absorption before a bigger treatment like a peel or facial.

Cost depends on whether you book it as a standalone treatment or add it onto another service like a facial or peel. We'll give you an exact price at your consultation. Payment plans are available through CareCredit and Lending Club.

Smoother skin texture, no visible peach fuzz, better absorption of serums and moisturizers, and an instant glow you can see the same day. It also gives makeup a smoother surface to sit on.

Yes, right away if you'd like. There's no downtime, no redness that lingers, and no reason to wait. Many people say makeup actually goes on smoother afterward since the skin's surface is so even.

The tools are similar, a sharp blade at an angle, but the technique and precision aren't. A trained provider uses a surgical scalpel at a controlled angle and short strokes across the whole face, which is different from how most people shave. That precision is part of why professional results tend to look more even than an at-home attempt.
