Dermaplaning: peach fuzz, smoother makeup and what to expect
The Simply Dermaplaning Facial is a 75-minute, $160 facial that gently exfoliates away dead skin cells and fine peach fuzz, known as vellus hair, for smoother, brighter-looking skin. A soothing seaweed jelly mask and hydrating serums follow, with a neck, chest and upper arm massage while the mask sets.
What happens during the facial
There is one version of this facial: 75 minutes for $160. Here is how the time is spent:
- A double cleanse to remove impurities
- Dermaplaning, a gentle exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz
- A seaweed jelly mask to calm, hydrate and nourish the skin
- A relaxing neck, chest and upper arm massage while the mask sets
- Hydrating serums and a nourishing moisturizer to finish
Who it suits
In the facial guide, dermaplaning is the pick for peach fuzz, rough texture and smoother makeup. It is a good fit if you want skin that feels soft and smooth to the touch and looks refreshed. With the neck, chest and upper arm massage, it is also a relaxing way to spend 75 minutes.
If your skin looks dull or dehydrated rather than fuzzy, Simply Hydrodermabrasion may suit you better. If breakouts are your main concern, the Simply Acne Treatment is designed for that. Either way, note any active breakouts or skin conditions on your intake form so Leica can adjust.
Will peach fuzz grow back thicker?
No. This is one of the most common questions about dermaplaning. Fine vellus hair that is removed grows back the same as before, not thicker.
How to prepare
Come with a clean face if possible, and avoid retinoids or exfoliating acids for two to three days before your visit.
The intake form arrives by email after you book. Use it to tell Leica about any recent sun exposure, procedures or skin reactions. If you have a rash or a condition your doctor is treating, check with your doctor before booking.
Aftercare
Avoid heavy makeup for the rest of the day, wear SPF, and skip harsh actives for 48 hours so your skin can fully benefit from the treatment.
Many clients return for a facial every 4 to 6 weeks. You can book your next visit anytime on the online booking calendar.
