Professional Dermaplaning & Skin Exfoliation Serving Franklin, Brentwood, Cool Springs & Nashville, TN
Dermaplaning is a gentle, professional exfoliation treatment that uses a specialized sterile blade to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). This treatment helps reveal smoother, softer, brighter-looking skin while creating a more even surface for skincare products and makeup application.
Radiance, RenewedWhat Dermaplaning Helps Refine
By gently clearing away surface build-up and fine vellus hair, dermaplaning can support healthier-looking skin and enhance natural radiance.
Dull or Uneven Surface Complexion
May help remove accumulated dead surface skin cells that leave skin looking tired or lackluster.
Rough or Dry Skin Texture
Can support a softer, smoother skin surface feel through careful mechanical exfoliation.
Fine Vellus Facial Hair (Peach Fuzz)
Gently removes fine facial hair that can trap surface oils, debris, and makeup pigments.
Topical Skincare Absorption
May help active serums and hydrating moisturizers absorb more readily into freshly exfoliated skin.
Cosmetic & Makeup Application
Can support smoother cosmetic blending and a more even foundation finish across the facial canvas.
Mild Surface Tone Irregularities
May support overall visible clarity and radiance when integrated into a consistent skincare regimen.
Recovery & HealingAftercare & Recovery
Your aftercare will be tailored to you. Many clients resume their usual daily schedule immediately following dermaplaning.
What to Expect Post-Treatment
Many clients experience little to no visible recovery time and resume regular activities promptly.
Some individuals with sensitive skin notice mild temporary redness or slight sensitivity for a few hours following mechanical exfoliation, which typically subsides quickly.
Essential Aftercare Guidelines
Broad-Spectrum Sun Protection: Freshly exfoliated skin is naturally more sensitive to UV radiation. Apply a broad-spectrum mineral or physical sunscreen daily and avoid direct prolonged sun exposure.
Pause Harsh Actives (24–48 Hours): Hold off on retinoids, exfoliating acids (AHAs, BHAs, glycolic, salicylic), and aggressive scrubs for 24 to 48 hours to protect your skin barrier.
Gentle Hydration: Use a mild, non-stripping cleanser and barrier-replenishing moisturizers. Avoid excessively hot water, steam rooms, or saunas for 24 hours.
Cosmetics: While makeup can be applied following exfoliation, giving your skin a brief rest of several hours or overnight allows skin to absorb finishing hydration.
Immediate GlowWhen Results May Become Visible
Physical exfoliation delivers immediate tactile smoothness, with refined clarity continuing as skin normalizes.
Immediate Tactile Smoothness
Many clients notice skin feeling notably smoother to the touch immediately following their appointment, as superficial dead skin cells and fine vellus hair have been manually removed.
Post-Treatment Radiance & Duration
A brighter, refreshed appearance is often observed once any slight temporary flush subsides. Visible outcomes and duration vary by person, natural skin turnover rate, lifestyle, and how diligently daily sun protection and nourishing hydration are maintained at home.
Treatment RhythmHow Many Treatments May Be Recommended
Ongoing Skin Health & Maintenance
Dermaplaning can be scheduled as a single skin-smoothing refresh before a special event, or as part of a regular maintenance routine. Because the natural cellular turnover cycle lasts approximately 30 days, many clients find scheduling appointments roughly every 4 to 6 weeks helps maintain a consistently smooth texture.
Some clients are recommended a series; the number is set after your consultation and depends on your skin, goals and how it responds.
