What Is Dermaplaning? The Gentle Exfoliation Facial Pasadena Trusts
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. At SkinFX Medical Spa, our certified master injectors (Anjela Maleki, BSN, RN and Jason Trujillo, MSN, FNP) perform this quick, painless procedure to reveal brighter, smoother skin and create the perfect canvas for makeup and skincare products.
How Dermaplaning Works in Pasadena CA
Sterile Blade Technique – A specialized blade is glided across the skin at a precise 45-degree angle.
Controlled Exfoliation – Removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz without irritation.

Dermaplaning FAQ
Is dermaplaning safe for my skin type?
Yes – dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. We recommend consulting our specialists if you have active acne or rosacea to determine the best approach for your skin.
How often should I get dermaplaning?
For best results, we recommend scheduling your dermaplaning treatment every 3–4 weeks. This aligns with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle for consistently smooth, glowing skin.
Does dermaplaning make hair grow back thicker?
No – this is a common myth. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) grows back at the same thickness and texture as before your dermaplaning treatment.
Is the procedure painful?
Not at all. Dermaplaning feels like a gentle scraping sensation across the skin. Most clients find the experience relaxing and comfortable.
Is there any downtime after dermaplaning?
None. You may experience slight redness immediately after treatment, but it subsides quickly. You can return to your normal activities right away.
Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?
Yes – one of the best benefits of dermaplaning is that makeup applies flawlessly afterward. Many clients book dermaplaning treatments before special events for this reason.
Can dermaplaning help with acne scars?
Yes – dermaplaning can reduce the appearance of superficial acne scars by exfoliating dead skin cells and promoting new cell growth for a smoother complexion.
