Dermaplaning in Arlington, VA

At Renaissance Aesthetics in Arlington, VA, we offer dermaplaning to gently exfoliate the skin and reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. This relaxing, non-invasive treatment removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, leaving your skin instantly refreshed and glowing.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment in which a sterile surgical blade is gently glided across the skin surface to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, often called peach fuzz. The result is smoother, brighter skin with improved texture, enhanced product absorption, and a flawless base for makeup.

Your Dermaplaning Treatment

Your provider will evaluate your skin type, texture, and aesthetic goals to confirm dermaplaning is right for you and tailor the treatment to your needs.

Using a sterile surgical blade held at a precise angle, your provider gently glides across the skin to lift away dead skin cells and fine facial hair, revealing the fresh, healthy skin beneath.

The treatment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and is completely painless. Most patients describe it as a light, relaxing exfoliation. No anesthesia, needles, or downtime is required.

Once your treatment is complete, you can return to your normal routine immediately. Your provider may recommend gentle skincare and daily sun protection to care for your freshly exfoliated skin.
