What Is Dermaplaning?
At BelleSante, our experts use a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel to gently sweep away the outermost layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz that can trap oil, dirt and other debris. This manual exfoliation process instantly uncovers the brighter, healthier skin that waits just below the surface, leaving behind a smooth canvas that makes flawless makeup application a breeze and enhances absorption of your favorite KRMD Medical Grade Skin Care products.
This treatment is ideal for individuals seeking:
- Immediate skin brightening and smoothing
- Enhanced effectiveness of skincare products
- Removal of fine vellus hair that affects makeup application
- Gentle exfoliation suitable for most skin types
- A quick, zero-downtime treatment for “Event Ready” skin
Unlike aggressive scrubs or chemical exfoliants that can sometimes irritate sensitive skin, dermaplaning works through precise physical removal of surface debris, leaving your complexion refreshed and renewed without redness or recovery time. Your skin will feel incredibly soft and smooth, with a natural glow that photographs beautifully.

Your Treatment Experience at BelleSante
At BelleSante, your dermaplaning experience begins with a thorough consultation with one of our experts. During this initial conversation, we'll evaluate your unique concerns and develop a personalized approach for achieving your aesthetic goals, sharing recommendations about not only dermaplaning but also use of complimentary KRMD Glow Peels and/or KRMD Advanced Medical Skin Care that will maintain your new glow.
The treatment itself is remarkably soothing — many patients describe it as meditative. Using precise, feather-light strokes, your expert skillfully guides a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel across your skin at the optimal 45-degree angle. You'll feel a gentle scraping sensation as layers of dulling debris and vellus hairs are swept away, revealing the fresh, vibrant skin underneath. There's something deeply satisfying about watching the immediate transformation unfold.
A complete facial treatment typically takes 30-45 minutes, making it perfect for a lunch break refresh or pre-event prep. Many patients are delighted by how quick and relaxing dermaplaning is, especially when compared with other exfoliation methods they have tried. By the time we apply your finishing serums, you'll already notice how differently your skin feels — softer, smoother and primed for maximum product absorption.

Recovery & Results
With dermaplaning, there is no recovery or downtime. You'll leave our office with visibly smoother, more radiant skin that's ready to face the world. After treatment, we recommend:
- Applying sunscreen diligently for the following week
- Following our post-treatment instructions and using KRMD Advanced Medical Skin Care products to maximize your results
- Avoiding harsh actives like retinol for 24-48 hours
The transformation is immediate, with your skin appearing noticeably smoother and brighter. While a single session delivers beautiful results, many patients incorporate dermaplaning into their regular skincare regimen, typically every four to six weeks, to maintain a flawless canvas.
