Ready to Refresh Your Skin Instantly?
Dead skin cells and fine facial hair can slowly build up on your face, which makes it look dull and causes makeup to sit unevenly.
Even the best skincare products can have trouble working through this layer of buildup.
Dermaplaning is a gentle treatment that clears away this layer to reveal fresher skin underneath. Many patients experience a cleaner and brighter face right away.
This simple treatment is safe for most skin types and is a favorite for anyone wanting a quick boost before a special event.
What to Know About Dermaplaning in Scottsdale
Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation non-surgical treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to carefully sweep away dead skin cells and fine hair, often called “peach fuzz,”1 from the surface of the face.
The process is safe, painless, and often described as feeling like a soft brushing sensation against the skin.
By clearing away this top layer, dermaplaning reveals new, healthy skin cells and allows serums and moisturizers to sink in more effectively.
Since it involves no chemicals or downtime, dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types. It can also be easily incorporated into a regular skincare routine or performed before other treatments to enhance their results.
If dull skin or unwanted peach fuzz is keeping you from feeling confident, dermaplaning may be the quick, easy solution you need.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Before deciding if dermaplaning is right for you, it is helpful to understand what it can do:
Ideal Candidates
for Dermaplane
Dermaplaning works best for patients who want smoother, more radiant skin without harsh treatments. You may be a good candidate if you have:
Dull or Dry Skin
Desire a brighter, healthier glow by removing dead surface cells that make the skin look flat or tired.
Fine Facial Hair
Prefer a smooth, hair-free face without the irritation or redness that waxing, threading, or depilatory creams can cause.
Mild Uneven Texture
Struggle with flaky or rough skin that makes makeup application uneven and want a softer, polished surface.
Sensitive Skin
Need a treatment that is gentle, non-invasive, and free of chemicals or strong exfoliants that might cause irritation.
Clear Skin Health
Have no active acne, rashes, or open wounds on the face, which ensures the treatment can be performed safely.
If you’re ready to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion, dermaplaning can be a quick and effective solution.

How to Prepare for Dermaplaning
Good preparation helps you get the smoothest result and keeps your skin calm for treatment. Here’s how to get ready:
Arrive with a Clean Face
Come without makeup, lotion, or sunscreen so your skin is fresh and ready for treatment.
No Strong Products
Stop using retinoids, exfoliating scrubs, or acids for 2–3 days before your appointment to prevent unnecessary irritation.
Skip Exfoliating Treatments
Wait at least one week after chemical peels, waxing, or microdermabrasion to avoid over-exfoliation.
Plan Your Timing
Book your session a few days before a special event to allow any temporary pinkness to fade.
Avoid Sunburns and Tanning
Reschedule if you have a sunburn and skip tanning beforehand, as sensitive skin is more prone to irritation.
Skip Hair Removal
Avoid waxing or threading the treatment area for at least a few days before your peel.

What are the Steps of Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a quick, non-invasive treatment for patients in Scottsdale and Phoenix designed to exfoliate the skin and remove fine facial hair. Here’s what you can expect during your session:
Dermaplane Recovery Timeline
Dermaplaning has little to no downtime, but your skin does go through subtle changes in the days that follow. Whether you live in Scottsdale or Phoenix, here’s what to expect during the first week and beyond:
Day 1
On the day of treatment, your face feels noticeably softer and looks brighter right away. Mild pinkness may occur but usually fades within a few hours. Makeup can be applied the same day if needed.
Day 2
After the first 24 hours, your skin continues to feel smooth and refreshed. Any lingering sensitivity has usually resolved, and the complexion looks clearer.
Day 3
By the third day, many patients notice skincare products absorbing more effectively. Makeup tends to apply more evenly and with a smoother finish.
Week 1
At the end of the first week, your skin’s glow is at its peak. Fine peach fuzz and dead skin cells are gone, which leaves a polished surface.
Weeks 2-3
In the second and third weeks, results remain visible and skin still feels soft. Natural cell turnover begins again, and some patients schedule follow-up treatments around this time.
Weeks 4-6
By four to six weeks, results have gradually diminished as new skin cells and hair return. Most patients choose to repeat dermaplaning every 4–6 weeks to maintain their refreshed appearance.
Dr. Mark’s Recovery Tips
- Keep skin clean and moisturized for the first few days
- Avoid direct sun exposure and always wear sunscreen
- Do not use retinoids, acids, or harsh exfoliants until cleared
- Skip makeup for at least 24 hours to let skin recover
- Use mild cleansers and soothing products
- Schedule regular sessions as recommended
How Long Results Last and When to Repeat
Dermaplaning results typically last about three to four weeks, which is the normal time it takes for your skin cells to naturally shed and renew. After this time, dead skin cells and peach fuzz start to build up again, and the skin may lose some of its glow.
Many patients schedule regular dermaplaning sessions once a month as part of their skincare routine to keep their face looking bright and smooth year-round. Combining dermaplaning with professional facials or chemical peels can extend the benefits and improve skin texture even more.
