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.

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.
