Dermaplaning

Not at all. Dermaplaning is a gentle and pain-free treatment. Most people compare it to the sensation of shaving with a regular razor – you might feel a light brushing or scraping motion, but there’s no discomfort involved. In fact, many patients find the process soothing and relaxing. Because dermaplaning involves no needles or harsh chemicals, it is ideal for individuals with sensitive skin who want a smoother complexion without any sting or burn.

Many patients in the greater Los Angeles area are thrilled with the results after just one session, especially if they’re prepping for a big event or want an instant glow. For those seeking to maintain a consistently smooth and radiant appearance, dermaplaning is typically recommended every 3 to 4 weeks. During your consultation, we’ll help you create a personalized schedule that aligns with your lifestyle and skin care needs.

The results are immediate. As soon as your treatment ends, you’ll notice that your skin looks fresher, brighter, and more polished. You might even catch yourself admiring that glow in your rearview mirror on the way home. Over the next few days, your skincare products will absorb better, and your makeup will apply smoothly.

Yes! Dermaplaning pairs perfectly with other treatments, such as chemical peels, HydraFacials, or microneedling. It prepares the skin by removing dead cells and peach fuzz, helping other treatments absorb more effectively and work better. At Aesthetic MdR in Marina del Rey and servicing the Los Angeles area, we often combine dermaplaning with other services for enhanced, glowing results.

Side effects are rare but can include temporary redness, slight sensitivity, or mild breakouts if proper post-treatment skincare isn’t followed. We always review aftercare instructions in detail, and our team is available to address any questions that may arise after treatment.
