What to Expect During a Dermaplane Facial

A Calm, Precise, Results-Focused Treatment Experience

A dermaplane facial is a professional exfoliation treatment designed to deliver immediate visible improvement without downtime, discomfort, or recovery. When performed correctly, the experience is controlled, gentle, and efficient—focused on improving skin performance rather than over-treating the skin.

At Denver Dream Medspa, dermaplaning is approached as a precision service, guided by skin condition, timing, and long-term goals.

Before Your Dermaplane Facial

Before treatment, your provider will review your skin history, current skincare routine, and any recent treatments to ensure dermaplaning is appropriate for your skin that day.

Patients are typically advised to:

  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin

  • Avoid exfoliating products for several days prior

  • Avoid recent sunburn or aggressive treatments

This preparation ensures safe exfoliation and optimal results.

The Dermaplaning Process

Treatment Time

  • Approximately 30 minutes

Sensation

  • A light scraping sensation

  • No heat, stinging, or discomfort

Technique

Using a sterile, surgical-grade blade held at a precise angle, your provider gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the skin surface.

The process is methodical and controlled—focused on smoothing texture without irritating or thinning the skin.

Immediately After Treatment

After dermaplaning, skin typically appears:

  • Smooth and polished

  • Brighter and more even in tone

  • Calm, without redness or peeling

Calming, hydrating products are applied to support the skin barrier and enhance glow.

Patients may return to daily activities immediately, including wearing makeup the same day if desired.

Downtime & Recovery

One of the defining benefits of dermaplaning is zero downtime.

Most patients experience:

  • No redness

  • No flaking or peeling

  • No sensitivity

This makes dermaplaning ideal for busy schedules and consistent maintenance.

How Your Skin Feels in the Days Following

In the days after treatment, many patients notice:

  • Improved hydration

  • Softer texture

  • Better response to skincare

There is no shedding or delayed reaction—the results are immediate and stable.

How Dermaplaning Is Used Strategically

Dermaplaning is often scheduled:

  • As a monthly maintenance facial

  • Before special events or photos

  • Before corrective treatments like lasers or microneedling

  • During seasonal skin transitions

This strategic timing ensures dermaplaning enhances—not interferes with—other treatments.

Dermaplaning Within Skin + Tox Club™

As a core option in the Skin + Tox Club™ Grande Membership, dermaplaning is used intentionally to maintain smooth texture and optimal skin function between corrective phases.

Membership allows providers to:

  • Alternate dermaplaning with advanced treatments

  • Adjust frequency based on skin response

  • Preserve barrier health over time

Rather than over-exfoliating, dermaplaning becomes a reliable maintenance tool within a larger plan.

What Dermaplaning Does Not Involve

To set clear expectations, dermaplaning:

  • Does not involve chemicals or acids

  • Does not cause peeling

  • Does not trigger inflammation

  • Does not alter hair growth

This clarity builds trust and ensures patients choose the treatment for the right reasons.
