Get answers to common questions about EXPRESS FACE DERMAPLANE.

Sessions typically last 20 to 30 minutes depending on skin condition and needs. The express format includes cleansing, dermaplaning, and calming serums, offering immediate smoothing and better product absorption—perfect for a quick, noticeable refresh.

Most clients experience no pain—only a light, smoothing sensation. Trained estheticians use gentle, controlled strokes and sterile blades to minimize discomfort. If your skin is very sensitive, we adapt technique and calming treatments to ensure a comfortable experience.

Generally every 4 to 6 weeks is recommended to maintain smooth skin and control vellus regrowth. Frequency depends on individual hair cycle, skin sensitivity, and goals; your esthetician will tailor a plan based on your skin’s response and desired results.

No—dermaplaning does not change hair thickness or growth rate. The blade safely removes vellus hair at the surface; regrowth maintains the same texture and density. Many clients actually notice softer skin and a smoother makeup application after regrowth.

Active inflammatory acne, open lesions, or recent chemical peels are contraindications. If you use retinol, pause topical retinoids 3 to 5 days before and disclose all products. Your esthetician will assess skin and recommend timing or alternatives for safe treatment.

Aftercare includes gentle cleansing, hydrating serums, and broad-spectrum SPF daily. Avoid active exfoliants, scrubs, and direct sun exposure for 48 hours. Makeup can be applied right away if desired, but we recommend allowing calming serums to absorb first for best results.
