Dermaplaning facial treatment at Salon 574 & Spa in Warsaw, Indiana — smooth glowing skin after professional exfoliation

If you've never experienced a dermaplaning facial, prepare to be converted. It's one of those treatments where you can feel the difference the moment it's done — your skin feels impossibly smooth, looks immediately brighter, and your makeup glides on like nothing you've experienced before. At Salon 574 & Spa in Warsaw, Indiana, dermaplaning has become one of our most requested spa treatments, and it's easy to understand why.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a professional manual exfoliation treatment in which a licensed esthetician uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape away the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair — commonly known as peach fuzz — from the surface of the skin. The scalpel is held at a precise 45-degree angle and moved in short, feathering strokes across the skin. The technique requires significant skill and training, which is why it must be performed by a licensed professional.

The result is skin that is noticeably smoother, brighter, and more even in texture — immediately. There's no waiting for results to develop over days or weeks. The change is visible and palpable the moment the treatment is complete.

The Benefits of Dermaplaning

Instant Exfoliation Without Chemicals

Dermaplaning removes approximately 2–3 weeks' worth of dead skin buildup in a single session. Unlike chemical exfoliants, which use acids to dissolve dead cells, dermaplaning is purely physical — making it an excellent option for clients who are sensitive to chemical peels or who want a gentler approach to exfoliation.

Peach Fuzz Removal

The removal of vellus hair (peach fuzz) is one of dermaplaning's most beloved benefits. Peach fuzz can trap oil, dirt, and makeup, contributing to a dull complexion. Removing it reveals a cleaner, smoother canvas. And no — it does not grow back thicker. Vellus hair is structurally different from terminal hair, and dermaplaning does not affect the hair follicle.

Dramatically Improved Product Absorption

Dead skin cells and peach fuzz act as a physical barrier that prevents skincare products from penetrating deeply. After dermaplaning, your serums, moisturizers, and treatment products absorb up to 70% more effectively. This is why dermaplaning is often paired with a serum infusion or hydrating treatment — the products work significantly harder on freshly dermaplaned skin.

Flawless Makeup Application

If you've ever struggled with foundation that looks cakey, settles into texture, or doesn't blend smoothly, dermaplaning will change your life. Without the layer of dead skin and peach fuzz, foundation glides on like silk and stays put throughout the day. Many clients schedule dermaplaning before weddings, photoshoots, and special events specifically for this reason.

The Dermaplaning Experience at Salon 574 & Spa

Your dermaplaning facial at Salon 574 & Spa begins with a thorough cleanse and skin assessment. LeeAnn will evaluate your skin type, check for any contraindications, and discuss your goals for the treatment. She'll then perform the dermaplaning procedure using a sterile surgical scalpel, working methodically across your face in sections.

Following the dermaplaning, LeeAnn applies a customized Circadia treatment — typically a brightening or hydrating serum, followed by a calming mask. Because your skin is freshly exfoliated and exceptionally receptive, these Circadia products penetrate deeply and deliver maximum benefit. Your treatment concludes with a moisturizer and SPF application.

Circadia Skincare: Elevating Your Dermaplaning Results

The products applied after dermaplaning are just as important as the treatment itself. At Salon 574 & Spa, we use Circadia professional skincare — a physician-developed line formulated to work with the skin's natural chronobiological rhythms. The serums and treatment products we apply post-dermaplaning are specifically selected to address your skin concerns and maximize the absorption window created by the treatment.

Who Is Dermaplaning Best For?

Dermaplaning is an excellent treatment for most skin types and concerns. It's particularly well-suited for:

  • Clients with dull, dry, or uneven skin texture
  • Anyone who wants to improve makeup application
  • Clients who are sensitive to chemical exfoliants
  • Those preparing for a special event (wedding, photoshoot, reunion)
  • Clients with fine lines and mild sun damage
  • Anyone who wants a gentle, relaxing facial with immediate visible results

Dermaplaning is not recommended for clients with active acne breakouts, rosacea flare-ups, open wounds, or highly reactive skin. LeeAnn will assess your skin during your consultation to confirm that dermaplaning is appropriate for you.

How Often Should You Get Dermaplaning?

Most clients schedule dermaplaning every 3–4 weeks, which aligns with the skin's natural cell turnover cycle. This frequency keeps your skin consistently smooth and glowing without over-exfoliating. LeeAnn will recommend a personalized schedule based on your skin type and goals.

Dermaplaning is one of those treatments that clients come back for every single month — not because they have to, but because they can't imagine going without it. Once you feel that smoothness, you're hooked.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique performed by a licensed esthetician using a sterile surgical scalpel held at a 45-degree angle. The blade is gently stroked across the skin to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). The treatment reveals fresher, smoother skin underneath and dramatically improves product absorption.

Will my hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?

No. This is one of the most common myths about dermaplaning. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) is structurally different from terminal hair. Dermaplaning does not affect the hair follicle or change the hair's growth cycle, texture, or thickness. Your hair will grow back exactly as it was before.

How long do dermaplaning results last?

Dermaplaning results typically last 3–4 weeks, which aligns with the skin's natural cell turnover cycle. Most clients schedule dermaplaning monthly to maintain smooth, glowing skin consistently.

Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?

We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying makeup after dermaplaning. After that, your skin will be exceptionally receptive to products, and you'll notice that foundation and concealer apply more smoothly and evenly than ever before.

Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, dermaplaning is generally safe for sensitive skin and is actually gentler than many chemical exfoliants. Because it's a physical (not chemical) treatment, there's no risk of a chemical reaction or irritation from acids. However, it is not recommended for clients with active acne, rosacea flare-ups, or open skin lesions.

What is the difference between dermaplaning and shaving?

Dermaplaning is performed by a licensed esthetician using a sterile surgical-grade scalpel with a specific technique designed to exfoliate the skin while removing hair. Shaving uses a razor at a different angle and does not exfoliate the skin. Dermaplaning is a professional treatment — it should not be attempted at home.

Can dermaplaning be combined with other facial treatments?

Absolutely. Dermaplaning pairs beautifully with a hydrating facial, chemical peel, or serum infusion. Because dermaplaning removes the barrier of dead skin and peach fuzz, any treatment applied immediately after penetrates significantly deeper and works more effectively.
