About this treatment
Dermaplaning is a refined manual exfoliation technique that uses a sterile, medical-grade blade to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair, often called peach fuzz. The result is an instantly softer, more polished complexion with a smoother texture and a fresh, luminous appearance.
During your treatment at Liv Med Spa in Denver, CO, your skin is thoroughly cleansed and assessed before the dermaplaning process begins. Your esthetician uses light, precise strokes across the treatment area to safely exfoliate the skin without harsh chemicals or abrasive particles. Most clients find the experience comfortable and relaxing.
Because dermaplaning clears away surface buildup, it can help skincare products absorb more efficiently and allow foundation or tinted products to sit more evenly on the skin. It is an excellent option before a special event or as part of a regular skin maintenance routine for a refined, radiant glow.
There is typically no downtime after dermaplaning, though skin may appear slightly pink immediately following treatment. Results generally last about three to four weeks as the skin naturally renews, and the removed vellus hair grows back with the same soft texture as before.
