The Secret to Instantly Smooth and Radiant Skin
If you’ve ever wondered how celebrities get that unbelievably smooth, camera-ready skin, there’s a good chance the answer is dermaplaning. This gentle exfoliating treatment removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz to reveal a brighter, softer, more refined complexion.
At Vishka Skincare Medspa in Arlington VA, dermaplaning is one of our most requested treatments — especially for clients preparing for events, photoshoots, or makeup application.
This guide explains the top benefits of dermaplaning and why it may be the perfect addition to your skincare routine.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment using a medical-grade scalpel to gently scrape away:
- Dead skin cells
- Trapped oil buildup
- Fine facial hair (peach fuzz)
The result is smoother, brighter, fresher-looking skin — instantly.
Unlike harsh exfoliants or abrasive scrubs, dermaplaning is suitable for almost all skin types and has no downtime.
Top Benefits of Dermaplaning
1. Instantly Smoother, Brighter Skin
Removing the top layer of dead skin reveals a softer, glowing complexion immediately after treatment.
Your skin looks:
- Fresher
- More radiant
- More even in tone
It’s the perfect “quick glow” facial before events or photos.
2. Removes Peach Fuzz (Vellus Hair)
One of the biggest benefits of dermaplaning is the removal of peach fuzz — the fine, light hairs that trap dirt, oil, and makeup.
After dermaplaning:
✔ Your makeup applies flawlessly
✔ Skincare absorbs better
✔ Skin feels ultra-smooth
And no — the hair does NOT grow back thicker. This is a common myth.
3. Enhances Product Absorption
When dead skin is removed, your serums and moisturizers can penetrate much deeper.
This means your skincare routine becomes more effective — especially treatments containing:
- Hyaluronic acid
- Vitamin C
- Peptides
- Retinol (avoid for 48 hours post-treatment)
Dermaplaning is an excellent “prep” step before other treatments like chemical peels or Hydrafacial.
4. Helps Improve Skin Tone and Texture
The exfoliation from dermaplaning helps with:
- Rough patches
- Mild acne scarring
- Uneven texture
- Dullness
Your skin feels smoother and more refined with consistent treatments.
5. Reduces the Appearance of Fine Lines
By removing dead skin buildup, dermaplaning creates a more youthful appearance and softens the look of early signs of aging such as:
- Fine lines
- Static wrinkles
- Mild sun damage
Paired with hydrating serums, the anti-aging benefits become even stronger.
6. No Downtime & Completely Non-Invasive
Dermaplaning is pain-free and requires zero recovery time.
You can walk out of your appointment and head straight to:
- Work
- Date night
- Events
- Photoshoots
Your skin will be glowing, smooth, and ready.
7. Perfect Treatment Before Makeup
This is one of the biggest reasons clients love dermaplaning.
Because peach fuzz and dead skin are removed, your makeup will:
- Sit better
- Blend effortlessly
- Look smoother
- Last longer
It’s a go-to treatment for brides, models, actors, and anyone prepping for a special occasion.
Who Is Dermaplaning Best For?
Dermaplaning is ideal for:
✔ Dull or rough skin
✔ Dry or flaky skin
✔ Fine lines
✔ Uneven texture
✔ Peach fuzz
✔ Sensitive skin (not active acne)
✔ People who want a quick glow
If you have active acne, we may recommend a Hydrafacial instead to reduce inflammation.

How Often Should You Get Dermaplaning?
For most clients:
➡ Every 4–6 weeks
This allows your skin to complete its natural regeneration cycle before the next treatment.
