A Smoother Complexion Awaits

At Amazing Skin Medspa in Allentown, PA, we offer dermaplaning, a gentle yet highly effective exfoliation treatment that instantly smooths and brightens the skin. This non-invasive procedure removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz), allowing for better skincare absorption and a flawless makeup application.

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation of the skin that triggers the cell regeneration process and allows products to penetrate the skin better. This treatment also rids the face of excess fine hairs, also known as “peach fuzz,” which can often accumulate dirt and oil, causing breakouts.

Contrary to popular belief, vellus hairs “peach fuzz,” as opposed to terminal hair, will not grow back thicker or darker. Exfoliation of dead cells and the removal of fine hairs result in healthier, brighter skin with a smoother look and feel. Even make-up will go on smoother with this treatment!

We offer dermaplaning as a full European facial experience, an express treatment, or as an add-on to most services.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and fine hair. This process helps to reveal fresher, healthier skin, giving you a more even tone and radiant glow.

Dermaplaning FAQs

Dermaplaning is safe and effective for most skin types, making it an excellent choice for individuals looking to improve skin texture, tone, and overall radiance. You may be a good candidate for dermaplaning if you:

  • Have dull, dry, or rough skin and want a brighter, smoother complexion
  • Want to remove fine facial hair (peach fuzz) for a more polished look
  • Experience mild acne scars or uneven skin texture and need gentle exfoliation
  • Have fine lines or early signs of aging and want to promote collagen renewal
  • Want better product absorption and enhanced makeup application
  • Prefer a non-invasive, no-downtime treatment with instant results
  • Have sensitive skin and cannot tolerate harsher exfoliation methods

 

For best results, dermaplaning can be performed every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your skin type and skincare goals. It can also be combined with other facial treatments, such as chemical peels or hydrating facials, for enhanced benefits.

  • Cleansing: The skin is gently cleansed to remove any dirt, oil, and makeup.
  • Exfoliation: A sterile blade is used to remove dead skin and vellus hair in a controlled manner.
  • Hydration: A soothing serum and moisturizer are applied to hydrate and protect the skin.
  • Instant Glow: Your skin will look noticeably smoother, brighter, and more refreshed immediately after treatment.

  • Are prone to keloid scarring or excessive scarring from skin treatments
