What to Expect During Your First Dermaplaning Appointment
- Posted on: Oct 15 2025
If you’ve been searching for ways to achieve smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin, you’ve probably come across dermaplaning. This gentle, non-invasive treatment has become a favorite among skincare enthusiasts because it provides instant results with little to no downtime. If you’re considering booking your first session, here’s a step-by-step look at what to expect.

Consultation and Skin Assessment
Your appointment typically begins with a brief consultation. The provider will ask about your skincare goals, current skincare routine, and any conditions you may have, such as acne or rosacea. This step ensures dermaplaning is the right choice for your skin type and needs.
The Dermaplaning Process
Once your skin is cleansed, your provider will gently exfoliate the skin’s surface using a sterile surgical blade. The tool is carefully moved across your face at a precise angle to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz hairs. This process is painless and often described as feeling like a light scraping sensation. Most sessions last about 30-45 minutes.
Immediate Results
One of the biggest perks of dermaplaning is the instant glow it provides. Without the barrier of dead skin cells and hair, your skin will feel smoother, look more radiant, and allow skincare products to absorb more effectively. Many people also notice that makeup applies more evenly afterward.
Aftercare and Recovery
There’s virtually no downtime following dermaplaning, but your skin may feel slightly sensitive for a day or two. Your provider will likely recommend avoiding direct sun exposure, wearing sunscreen daily, and refraining from using harsh exfoliants or retinol for several days. Moisturizing your skin will help maintain the results you achieve.
Long-Term Benefits
With regular sessions every four to six weeks, dermaplaning can help improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and support a clearer, more youthful complexion.
