See the Difference: Dermaplaning Services Elevate Your Treatment Experience

Dermaplaning is one of the most straightforward treatments we offer—and it’s one of the most immediately satisfying. Using a sterile, medical-grade blade, your aesthetician manually removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz in a single session. After, your skin looks smoother, brighter, and more even—with no injections, no downtime, nothing to recover from. Our clients enjoy dermaplaning sessions before our laser treatments, chemical peels, and Hydrafacials specifically, as they allow for each treatment to be more effective.

Is Dermaplaning Right for You?

Dermaplaning works well for most skin types. It’s especially effective for dry or dull skin, regular makeup wearers, and clients looking to get more out of their existing skincare routine. It also pairs well with a Hydrafacial or a chemical peel. Your aesthetician can help you figure out the right combination for your skin. If you’re interested in Raleigh dermaplaning services and are pregnant, recently finished isotretinoin, or have any blood-clotting conditions, please be sure to let your aesthetician know before booking.

Please Note: Remember dermaplaning is an add-on treatment to enhance the results and experience of other treatments. Please contact your nearest spa with questions about dermaplaning or to add this to a scheduled treatment.

Dermaplaning Delivers More Than Smooth Skin

Clients book dermaplaning sessions with their routinely scheduled treatments because they want smoother skin and more efficient results. Here are just a few benefits you can expect when you book a Raleigh dermaplaning service.

Better Skincare Performance
Removing the surface layer of dead skin dramatically improves how well your serums, moisturizers, and active ingredients penetrate and perform. Many clients notice that their home skincare routine delivers noticeably better results in the weeks following dermaplaning.
Flawless Makeup Application
Peach fuzz and uneven skin texture are two of the most common reasons foundation looks patchy or settles unevenly. After dermaplaning, makeup glides on smoothly, blends effortlessly, and stays in place longer.
No Downtime, Immediate Glow
Dermaplaning delivers results you can see and feel the same day, amplifying the results of your treatments. It's the treatment that fits into a lunch break, works before a big event, and requires nothing more than sunscreen and gentle care afterward—making it one of the most practical ways to maintain skin quality year-round.

FAQs About Dermaplaning

Here are the most common questions we get from clients considering dermaplaning in Raleigh.

No. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (or, “peach fuzz”) at the surface level. It doesn’t affect the hair follicle. Hair regrowth will feel blunt initially because it’s been cut at a straight angle, but it will not grow back coarser, darker, or denser.

Most clients schedule dermaplaning every 4 to 6 weeks with their other routine treatments, aligning dermaplaning sessions with the skin’s natural cell turnover cycle. This frequency keeps the skin consistently smooth and luminous without over-exfoliating. Your BodyLase aesthetician will recommend a personalized frequency of treatment based on your skin type and the rest of your skincare routine.

Dermaplaning is not painful for the vast majority of clients. Most describe it as a gentle scraping sensation—similar to shaving but performed by a trained professional with a surgical blade held at a precise angle. No numbing is required. Clients with very sensitive skin may experience mild tingling during treatment that resolves immediately after.

We recommend waiting at least 12 hours before applying makeup after dermaplaning to allow the freshly exfoliated skin to recover. When you do apply makeup, many clients are delighted by how flawlessly it applies—no texture catching, no peach fuzz interference. That smooth makeup application is one of the most immediately noticed benefits of regular dermaplaning.

Yes—dermaplaning pairs particularly well with a Hydrafacial, which infuses hydrating and brightening serums into freshly exfoliated skin for a more intensive combined result. It also works well as preparation before chemical peels or Clear + Brilliant treatments. Your aesthetician will help you sequence treatments to complement each other safely.

Yes, absolutely. At-home dermaplaning devices use consumer-grade blades at a fixed angle, limiting how much dead skin can be safely removed, and leading to a higher risk of infection if the skin is broken. Professional dermaplaning at BodyLase uses sterile, single-use surgical blades and the trained hand of a licensed aesthetician who adjusts pressure, angle, and technique in real time based on your skin’s response. The results, in both smoothness and exfoliation depth, are radically different from any at-home dermaplaning alternative on the market today.
