A smooth, glowing complexion often correlates with skin that feels and looks its best. When peach fuzz, buildup, or rough texture gets in the way of soft skin, even your favorite skincare and makeup can start to sit on top of your skin instead of blending in the way you like.
A dermaplaning facial in Myrtle Beach at La Bella MD refreshes your skin with a customized approach to gentle exfoliation. Our team uses this service to remove fine vellus hair, often called peach fuzz, and sweep away surface buildup to leave your skin softer, brighter, and more polished.
Curious what happens during our dermaplaning facial? Keep reading as we explore the steps we take to make your skin glow.
Step 1: We Assess Your Skin
Your visit begins with a quick skin check and a conversation. We look at your skin texture and sensitivity, ask about your current routine, recent treatments, and evaluate any areas that feel dry, congested, or irritated.
This step helps us decide whether dermaplaning makes sense for your skin type. We don’t perform dermaplaning if you have active irritation, open lesions, or sunburn in the treatment area.
If your skin barrier needs gentler care first, we will tell you and recommend the right treatment.
Step 2: Cleanse and Prep
Once we confirm your skin is ready, we cleanse your face to remove oil, makeup, sunscreen, and buildup. Clean skin allows your provider to work with more precision.
We may also choose products to include in the facial based on your skin type. For dry skin, we might recommend extra moisture, whereas congested, sensitive skin might need a gentle, clarifying approach.
Step 3: Dermaplaning
During the dermaplaning step, your provider uses a sterile blade at a careful angle to remove fine hair and dead skin from the surface of your face. The treatment should feel light, gentle, and controlled.
Patients love dermaplaning because it can make the skin feel instantly smoother. Makeup glides on more evenly, skincare feels more seamless, and skin looks fresher right away.
Step 4: We Customize Your Facial
Dermaplaning pairs beautifully with other skin services when your provider times them correctly. We might customize your facial with LED therapy, light chemical peels, or a calming finishing routine.
Our team might recommend scheduling the Hydrafacial alongside dermaplaning for patients who want a deep cleanse, exfoliation, and hydration.
Step 5: Aftercare
After your dermaplaning facial in Myrtle Beach at La Bella MD, your skin may feel soft, smooth, and fresh. Because exfoliation can make it more sensitive, aftercare keeps your skin healthy.
We recommend daily SPF and gentle skincare after your visit. You should avoid products with strong active ingredients for about 24 hours and wait to apply any extra exfoliation for at least 2 to 3 days.
A dermaplaning facial can give you that “fresh canvas” feeling, but your daily routine protects it. SPF, hydration, and barrier-friendly products help your glow last longer.
FAQs About Dermaplaning Facials
Still have some unanswered questions? We often hear these concerns from our patients looking for dermaplaning facials.
Is dermaplaning good before an event?
Yes, many patients love dermaplaning before an event because it can create a smoother, brighter look with little interruption to their routine. If you have sensitive skin, plan your appointment a few days before your event so any irritation has time to resolve.
Will dermaplaning make my hair grow back thicker?
No, hair doesn’t grow back thicker. Dermaplaning removes fine facial hair at the surface. As the hair grows back, it may feel slightly different at first because of the freshly trimmed ends, but it does not become coarser or darker.
Can I combine dermaplaning with a Hydrafacial?
Yes, dermaplaning can pair beautifully with Hydrafacial for many patients. Dermaplaning smooths away peach fuzz and surface buildup, while Hydrafacial supports cleansing, hydration, and glow.
