What it is
Dermaplaning is an exfoliation treatment in which a sterile blade gently removes the top layer of dead skin and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), leaving the surface smoother and brighter with no downtime.
Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade to delicately remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz. The result is improved skin texture, a more even tone and better absorption of the skincare you apply afterwards.
It refreshes a dull complexion straight away, softens the look of fine lines and leaves a clean, smooth surface — which also makes it a good prep step before makeup. Because it is gentle and non-invasive, it suits most skin types and requires no recovery time.
At Shookra, dermaplaning is performed by skilled clinicians who assess your skin first and work with controlled, even technique. Removing the outer layer of dead cells and peach fuzz is what gives the immediate smoothness and brightness, while keeping the treatment comfortable.
Who it's for
Dermaplaning is well suited to skin that looks dull or dehydrated, feels rough or dry, or has visible peach fuzz and congested-looking pores. It is also a popular choice when makeup is not sitting smoothly, since it leaves a clean, even surface to work on.
It is gentle enough for most skin types and needs no downtime, which makes it easy to fit around daily life. Your clinician assesses your skin and confirms suitability at consultation, and will check for any breakouts or sensitivity first.
- Dull, dehydrated-looking skin
- Rough or dry skin texture
- Visible peach fuzz (vellus hair)
- Uneven tone and congested-looking pores
- Makeup not sitting smoothly
- Loss of brightness and softness
Who it’s not for
A few situations mean it’s better to wait, or to choose a different treatment:
- Active acne or current breakouts in the treatment area
- Inflamed, irritated or broken skin in the treatment area
- An active cold sore in the treatment area
- Very sensitive or easily reactive skin
This isn’t exhaustive, and none of it rules you out on its own — your clinician confirms suitability at consultation.

Physician note
On Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is one of the gentlest things we offer, and its value is in the technique rather than anything dramatic. I assess the skin first and steer clear of any active breakouts or irritation, since a clear, settled surface gives the cleanest result. The vellus hair grows back with the same fine texture it had before — it does not return thicker. In our climate, I ask patients to be consistent with sun protection afterwards, as freshly exfoliated skin appreciates the extra care.
