DERMAPLANING IN BARRIE

GENTLE FACIAL EXFOLIATION

DERMAPLANING TREATMENT AT REVIVE

Dermaplaning at REVIVE Medical Spa in Barrie is a manual exfoliation treatment that uses a specialized blade to gently remove dead surface skin cells and fine vellus hair, commonly called “peach fuzz.” The treatment can help create a smoother-looking skin surface and may improve the appearance of dullness and uneven texture.

Dermaplaning may be performed on its own or incorporated into selected facial treatments. Depending on your skin and treatment goals, your provider may also discuss other options such as chemical peels or microneedling. Treatment recommendations are personalized based on your current skin condition, concerns and suitability.

HOW DERMAPLANING WORKS

PREPARATION

The skin is cleansed and assessed before treatment. Your provider prepares the treatment area and checks for concerns that could affect whether dermaplaning is appropriate that day.

EXFOLIATION

A specialized dermaplaning blade is carefully passed across the skin to remove dead surface skin cells and fine vellus hair. Technique and treatment areas are adjusted according to your individual skin needs.

AFTERCARE

After dermaplaning, the skin may feel particularly smooth and may temporarily be more sensitive. Appropriate hydrating skincare and sun protection may be applied, and your provider will explain any recommended aftercare.

DERMAPLANING FAQ

What is dermaplaning and how does it work?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment that uses a specialized blade to gently remove dead surface skin cells and fine vellus hair from the treatment area. The result is a smoother-feeling skin surface without the use of chemical exfoliating solutions.

What does dermaplaning remove?

Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells from the outer surface of the skin as well as fine vellus hair, commonly called “peach fuzz.” It does not permanently remove facial hair.

Will my facial hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?

No. Dermaplaning does not change the structure of the hair follicle, so removing fine vellus hair does not cause it to grow back thicker or darker. Hair will gradually grow back according to its normal growth cycle.

Is dermaplaning suitable for all skin types?

Dermaplaning may be suitable for many skin types, but it is not appropriate for every skin condition. Active inflamed acne, open skin lesions, irritation or certain other skin concerns may affect suitability. Your skin will be assessed before treatment.

How often should I get dermaplaning?

Treatment frequency depends on your skin, how quickly surface buildup returns and whether dermaplaning is being performed alone or as part of another facial treatment. Many patients schedule treatments periodically, and your provider can recommend an appropriate interval for your skin.

How long does a dermaplaning appointment take?

A dermaplaning appointment typically takes approximately 30–45 minutes, depending on whether dermaplaning is performed alone or combined with additional facial treatments.

Is there downtime after dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning generally involves little downtime, although temporary redness, dryness or sensitivity may occur. Your provider will explain what products and activities to avoid based on how your skin responds.

How should I prepare for a dermaplaning appointment?

Arrive with clean skin when possible and follow any preparation instructions provided by REVIVE. Depending on your skincare routine, you may be advised to temporarily pause certain exfoliating products, acids or retinoids before treatment. Do not stop prescribed skincare or medication without guidance from the appropriate healthcare provider.

Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?

Your provider may recommend allowing the skin time to settle before applying makeup, depending on your skin response and any additional treatments performed during the appointment. Follow the aftercare instructions provided after your treatment.
