If glowing, smooth, and radiant skin is what you're after, dermaplaning might just become your new favorite skincare treatment. At Skin Bliss Med Spa, we believe in helping our clients feel confident and refreshed with advanced techniques that are safe, effective, and tailored to your unique skin needs. Dermaplaning checks every one of those boxes.
Let’s walk you through what dermaplaning is, why it’s so effective, how it works beautifully with treatments like the Glass Skin Facial, and the best ways to incorporate it into your skincare routine.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair (also known as peach fuzz). This reveals a fresh, brighter layer of skin beneath, creating an instantly smooth and radiant complexion.
Think of it as a professional-level skin refresh without any harsh chemicals, downtime, or discomfort.
Top Benefits of Dermaplaning
Here’s why clients love this treatment:
Smooth, Glowing Skin (Immediately!): Dermaplaning removes the layer of dull, dead skin and fuzz that can make your face look tired or uneven. The result? Soft, smooth skin that glows.
Better Makeup Application: With no peach fuzz or rough texture in the way, your foundation and other makeup products apply flawlessly and last longer.
Enhanced Skincare Absorption: Post-dermaplaning, your skin can absorb serums, moisturizers, and masks much more effectively, making your skincare routine work even harder for you.
Gentle & Safe Exfoliation: Unlike chemical peels or microdermabrasion, dermaplaning is a low-risk, non-invasive option. It’s safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin and for those who are pregnant.
Instantly Camera-Ready: It’s a favorite for brides, photo shoots, and events because your skin will look soft, lit-from-within, and completely camera-ready.
Is Dermaplaning Safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained professional, dermaplaning is incredibly safe. At Skin Bliss Med Spa, we use medical-grade tools and techniques to ensure a safe and hygienic experience every time.
Important notes:
Avoid dermaplaning if you have active acne, eczema, or rosacea flare-ups.
Always follow post-treatment care instructions to avoid irritation and maintain results.

When Is Dermaplaning Included or Used as an Add-On?
Dermaplaning is included as part of the Glass Skin Facial at Skin Bliss Med Spa making it a comprehensive treatment for hydration, smoothness, and clarity.
For all other facials and skin treatments, dermaplaning is available as an add-on and we highly recommend pairing it with:
✅ Hydrafacial – Amplifies the deep cleansing and hydration effects
✅ BioRePeel – Helps improve texture and enhances peel results
✅ Factor Five Regenerative Facial – Boosts absorption of growth factors
✅ Procell Microchanneling – Preps the skin for optimal delivery and effectiveness
Glass Skin Facial + Dermaplaning = A Dream Team
The Glass Skin facial focuses on deep hydration, clarity, and smoothness—leaving your skin looking poreless and dewy. Starting your session with dermaplaning allows all the nourishing serums and boosters in a Glass Skin facial to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
Other Ideal Pairings:
LED Light Therapy – Calms inflammation and stimulates collagen.
Hydrating Masks – Absorb more efficiently after dermaplaning.
Mild Enzyme Peels – For an extra boost in cell turnover (only recommended under professional guidance).
When Should You Schedule Dermaplaning?
Here are a few suggestions:
✔️ Once every 4–6 weeks
✔️ Before a special occasion or photoshoot
✔️ When your skin feels dull, rough, or your skincare isn't working as well as it should
Post-care tip
Always apply SPF daily after dermaplaning, as your skin will be more sensitive to the sun.
