Remove Peach Fuzz and Buildup

The Dermaplaning Add-On is a quick facial enhancement that instantly smooths and refreshes your skin. Using a sterile blade, your provider gently removes dead skin buildup and peach fuzz from the surface of the face. It’s one of those little extras that can make a big difference, helping your skin look brighter, feel softer, and absorb skincare products more effectively.

What Are the Benefits of The Dermaplaning Add-On?

The Dermaplaning Add-On is one of those quick enhancements that instantly makes your skin feel smoother, fresher, and more radiant. Some of the biggest benefits include:

  • Smoother, softer-feeling skin
  • Instantly brighter-looking complexion
  • Gentle exfoliation without downtime
  • Better absorption of skincare products
  • Smoother makeup application
  • Removal of peach fuzz and surface buildup
  • Enhanced results from facial treatments
  • Quick treatment time with minimal discomfort

What Happens During The Dermaplaning Add-On Treatment?

The Dermaplaning Add-On is performed during your facial to enhance exfoliation and create an ultra-smooth skin surface. After thoroughly cleansing and drying the skin, your provider uses a sterile surgical blade positioned at a 45-degree angle to make controlled, feathering strokes across the face. This technique mechanically removes accumulated dead skin cells from the stratum corneum along with fine vellus hair, often called peach fuzz.

The treatment is gentle but precise, with extra attention to areas prone to rough texture and buildup, such as the cheeks, forehead, chin, and jawline. Once exfoliation is complete, calming hydrators, serums, or products are applied. Because the surface debris has been removed, skincare ingredients penetrate more evenly, while makeup also sits noticeably smoother.

The Dermaplaning Add On Frequently Asked Questions

Does The Dermaplaning Add-On make hair grow back thicker?

No, and this is probably the biggest myth about The Dermaplaning Add-On. The fine vellus hair removed during treatment does grow back, but it does not come back darker, thicker, or coarser. Because the hair is cut straight across during exfoliation, it may initially feel slightly different as it grows in, but the texture and color do not actually change.

Can I combine The Dermaplaning Add-On with other treatments?

Absolutely. The Dermaplaning Add-On pairs beautifully with facials and many advanced skin treatments. Removing dead skin buildup and peach fuzz allows serums, masks, and hydrating products to absorb more evenly into the skin. Many clients love adding it before treatments focused on glow, hydration, and smoother texture, as it enhances a polished finish.

Is there any downtime after The Dermaplaning Add-On?

Most clients have little to no downtime afterward. Your skin may look slightly pink immediately after treatment, especially if you are naturally sensitive, but that usually fades quickly. Many people actually schedule The Dermaplaning Add-On before events because makeup applies much more smoothly afterward, and the skin looks instantly brighter.

How often should I get The Dermaplaning Add-On?

For most clients, every four to six weeks works really well. That timing allows dead skin buildup and peach fuzz to naturally return before your next exfoliation session. Your provider may recommend a different schedule depending on your skin type, sensitivity, and overall goals.

Are there any risks with The Dermaplaning Add-On?

When performed professionally, The Dermaplaning Add-On is considered very safe. That said, every skin treatment has some considerations. Clients with active acne breakouts, open lesions, severe rosacea, or highly irritated skin may need to wait before treatment. Temporary redness, sensitivity, or mild irritation can occasionally happen, especially if your skin is compromised.

Who is a good candidate for The Dermaplaning Add-On?

Most skin types can benefit from dermaplaning, especially if you struggle with dullness, rough texture, flaky buildup, or makeup that never seems to sit smoothly. It is also a great option for clients wanting gentle physical exfoliation without harsh scrubs or significant downtime. The result is typically smoother, softer, more radiant-looking skin.
