Dermaplaning in Westminster, CO

Smooth, Brighten, and Revitalize Your Skin with Safe, Gentle Exfoliation

At Mountain View Aesthetics, we offer professional dermaplaning as a fast, minimally invasive procedure that refreshes and refines the skin. This safe and effective technique gently removes dead skin cells, dull surface debris, and vellus hair (peach fuzz) using a medical-grade scalpel — leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and perfectly prepped for further skin care or cosmetic treatments.

Dermaplaning is suitable for nearly every skin tone and is often recommended as a prep step for treatments like chemical peels, masks, or laser therapy.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique performed by licensed professionals trained in dermatology protocols. It involves sweeping a sterile blade across the skin to gently shave off the epidermis’s outermost layer — where build-up, facial hair, and dullness tend to accumulate.

This method removes body hair and pore-clogging debris that contribute to acne, uneven texture, and reduced product absorption. Unlike shaving with a safety razor, dermaplaning offers a deeper level of refinement and precision under the supervision of trained practitioners.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is one of the most trusted aesthetic skin care services for visibly smoother, healthier skin. It offers numerous benefits, including

Improved Product Penetration

Helps your moisturizer, retinol, and hyaluronic acid serums work more effectively.

Brighter Complexion

Removes dead cells and dullness for a naturally radiant look.

Enhanced Makeup Application

Creates a flawless surface for foundation and powders.

Reduced Risk of Breakouts

Clears away debris and oil that feed bacteria and cause pimples.

No Downtime

You can apply sunscreen and makeup immediately afterward.

It’s a perfect standalone treatment or a skin-prep method before services like laser hair removal, acid-based peels, or simple facials.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is ideal for patients seeking gentle skin rejuvenation without needles, heat, or downtime. It is suitable for:

However, if you have active psoriasis, severe acne, a current skin condition, or are using medications like Accutane, we recommend discussing your treatment with a physician or surgeon first to ensure it’s the right choice.

What to Expect During Your Dermaplaning Appointment

Your appointment begins with a gentle cleanser to remove surface oils and bacteria. Next, your provider will carefully glide a sterile scalpel at a precise angle across the face to exfoliate and remove hair. Most sessions take 30–45 minutes and are completely painless — no anesthesia is required.

Post-treatment, we apply moisturizer and sunscreen to protect your freshly exfoliated skin and reduce potential side effects like dryness or mild inflammation.

FAQs About Dermaplaning

Is dermaplaning the same as shaving?

No. Unlike using a razor or safety razor, dermaplaning provides deeper exfoliation using a sterile scalpel in a clinical environment for safer, more precise results.

Will my facial hair grow back thicker?

No. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) grows back at the same texture and color. It does not become thicker or darker after removal.

Can dermaplaning cause infection or irritation?

When performed by a certified provider in a clinical setting, the risk of infection, inflammation, or irritation is very low. Proper hygiene and post-care (including sunscreen) are essential.

Is dermaplaning safe for patients with health conditions?

In most cases, yes — but if you have a history of skin cancer, dermatitis, or are taking certain medications, a consultation with your health care provider is recommended.

How often can I receive dermaplaning treatments?

We typically recommend treatments every 4–6 weeks, depending on your skin goals and condition.
