Dermaplaning Facial | Saddletowne Medical Aesthetics

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves the careful exfoliation of the skin’s surface using a sterile surgical scalpel. This technique effectively removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (often referred to as “peach fuzz”), resulting in a smoother and more radiant complexion. Our trained skincare professional performs dermaplaning by gently scraping the surface of the skin with a surgical scalpel.The procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes and can be done on the face and neck. Removes dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover and leading to a brighter complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dermaplaning and how does it work?

Dermaplaning is a safe and non-invasive exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair using a sterile surgical blade. At Saddleridge Medical Clinic, our trained professionals gently glide the blade across your skin, leaving it smoother, brighter, and more radiant — with no downtime.

Is dermaplaning safe for all skin types?

Yes, dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. It’s especially effective for dry or dull skin and can even help improve the look of acne scars. If you’re unsure, our skincare experts in Saddleridge, Calgary will assess your skin during a consultation to ensure it’s the right treatment for you.

Does dermaplaning hurt or cause breakouts?

Not at all. Dermaplaning is painless — most patients describe it as a light brushing sensation. It does not cause breakouts; in fact, it helps prevent them by removing buildup that can clog pores. At Saddleridge Medical Clinic, we follow strict protocols to ensure a clean and effective treatment.

How often should I get dermaplaning treatments?

We usually recommend dermaplaning every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain glowing, smooth skin. Your ideal treatment frequency may vary depending on your skin goals, and our team will create a personalized plan tailored to your needs.

What should I do after my dermaplaning session?

After dermaplaning, your skin will be more sensitive to sun exposure, so we recommend applying broad-spectrum SPF daily. Avoid harsh exfoliants or active ingredients for 24–48 hours. Our team at Saddleridge Medical Clinic will guide you on proper post-care for optimal results.
