About this treatment
Dermaplaning is a professional manual exfoliation treatment designed to reveal a fresh, polished glow without the use of harsh chemicals or abrasive devices. Using a sterile surgical blade held at a precise angle, a trained esthetician gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair, often called peach fuzz.
During your appointment at Oasis Spa - Skin Treatments | Saugus, Ma, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and assessed before the dermaplaning process begins. The treatment is typically comfortable and relaxing, with light, controlled strokes used across the face to smooth the skin’s surface and enhance radiance.
After treatment, clients can expect skin to feel exceptionally soft, look more luminous, and appear more even in texture. Makeup often applies more seamlessly, and serums and moisturizers may absorb more effectively because the barrier of dead surface cells has been reduced.
Dermaplaning requires no downtime, making it an ideal choice before special events or as part of a regular skincare routine. Results generally last about three to four weeks, as the skin naturally renews and new surface cells develop.
