What is Dermaplaning?
If traditional facials or microdermabrasion haven’t given you the refreshed skin you want—and you’re not ready for invasive procedures—dermaplaning could be the perfect choice. Also called dermablading, dermaplaning is a gentle, noninvasive skin resurfacing method that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair with a specialized blade. This treatment leaves your skin noticeably smoother and brighter. At AestheticFX Med Spa in Frisco, TX, Beverly Farris, FNP-C, and her skilled team provide expert dermaplaning sessions designed to restore a youthful glow with no downtime.

Are You a Good Candidate?
Dermaplaning is safe and effective for most skin types. It’s especially ideal for patients who:
- Seek an alternative to microdermabrasion or chemical peels

- Do not have highly sensitive skin or rosacea
- Have uneven skin texture or tone
If you have active or cystic acne, we’ll review your options and create the best treatment plan during your consultation.
How Are Dermaplaning Treatments Done?
Dermaplaning is performed as an outpatient procedure at our Frisco Med Spa. After thoroughly cleansing your skin, a trained provider carefully glides a sterile blade across your face to remove dead skin cells and fine hair. The process is precise to ensure even, smooth results. Treatment length varies depending on whether a full or partial facial is done. Beverly Farris or a team member will explain the entire procedure during your consultation.
What to Expect After Dermaplaning
Your skin may look slightly red or feel mildly sensitive after treatment, but this typically fades within a few days. Some light peeling might occur as your skin renews. Avoid picking at your skin and limit sun exposure to protect your results. You’ll likely notice softer, smoother skin immediately. Our team will suggest a customized aftercare routine, including a gentle cleanser, hydrating moisturizer, and broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Dermaplaning FAQ
Does dermaplaning hurt?
Most patients find it comfortable and even relaxing. The procedure exfoliates the skin’s surface gently without pain or irritation.
Why is dermaplaning beneficial for skin?
It removes buildup, dead cells, and fine hair that dull your complexion. It also improves texture and encourages natural collagen and elastin production.
Will my hair grow back thicker or darker?
No. This is a myth. Dermaplaning doesn’t affect hair structure or growth. Vellus hair will grow back just as before.
