Dermaplaning

Instantly Smoother, Brighter Skin—No Downtime Required

At Saluja Cosmetic and Laser Center, we offer dermaplaning as a gentle, effective treatment to exfoliate the skin, remove peach fuzz, and reveal a softer, more luminous complexion. This non-invasive service is ideal for anyone looking to boost skin smoothness and enhance the effectiveness of skincare products—with no downtime.

Performed in our Cornelius, NC clinic, dermaplaning is an excellent standalone treatment or the perfect prep step before lasers, facials, or special events.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). This reveals a smoother surface, promotes more even tone and texture, and allows skincare products to penetrate more deeply.

Unlike more aggressive exfoliation techniques, dermaplaning is completely painless, suitable for most skin types, and leaves your skin feeling instantly refreshed.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

Dermaplaning is a relaxing, in-office treatment that takes around 30 minutes. There is no downtime, and most patients leave with skin that feels immediately softer and more radiant.

While dermaplaning is considered very low-risk, it is still a procedure involving a sharp instrument. Possible but rare side effects may include:

Minor nicks or superficial cuts

Mild redness or sensitivity

Temporary irritation or dryness

Breakouts, especially in acne-prone skin if not properly prepped or cared for after treatment

Post-procedure abrasions in those with very reactive or compromised skin

At Saluja Cosmetic and Laser Center, we take every precaution to minimize these risks with professional technique, sterile tools, and clinical-grade skincare.

Is Dermaplaning Right for You?

Dermaplaning is safe and effective for almost everyone, especially if you:

Have dry, dull, or flaky skin

Want a quick skin refresh before a big event

Are not a candidate for chemical peels or more aggressive exfoliation

Prefer a no-downtime, non-invasive solution to boost glow and softness

Frequently Asked Questions

Is dermaplaning painful?

Not at all. Most patients say it feels like a gentle scraping or brushing sensation.

Will my facial hair grow back thicker?

No. Dermaplaning does not change the structure of your hair follicles. Peach fuzz will grow back at the same rate and texture.

How often can I do dermaplaning?

Many patients enjoy treatments every 3–4 weeks to maintain a smooth, radiant glow.

Is there any downtime?

There’s no downtime. Some patients experience slight redness for a few minutes, but makeup and skincare can be applied immediately.
