Dermaplaning in Santa Ana, CA: Benefits, Aftercare, and What to Expect
If your skin looks dull, feels rough, or you want a smoother, brighter-looking complexion, dermaplaning may be a treatment worth considering.
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair, often called peach fuzz. At Lisa Nadler Skin Care in Santa Ana, dermaplaning is incorporated into customized facial treatments designed around your individual skin needs and goals.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation technique that removes surface dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the face using a specialized sterile blade.
Removing this buildup can leave the skin feeling exceptionally smooth and looking brighter and more refreshed. It can also help skincare products apply more evenly and create a smoother
surface for makeup application.
What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?
Potential benefits of dermaplaning include:
- Smoother-feeling skin
- Removal of surface dead skin cells
- Removal of fine facial hair
- A brighter, more refreshed-looking complexion
- Improved makeup application
- More even application of skincare products
- A more refined-looking skin texture
Results and suitability can vary depending on your individual skin and current skin condition.
What Happens During a Dermaplaning Facial?
At Lisa Nadler Skin Care, your First Visit Dermaplaning Facial begins with a personalized consultation and skin assessment to help determine whether dermaplaning is appropriate for your skin.
Your customized treatment may include:
- Thorough skin cleansing
- Gentle exfoliation
- Dermaplaning
- Extractions, when appropriate
- A cooling and soothing mask
- LED Light Therapy
- A relaxing facial and upper-body massage
Your facial is customized based on your skin’s individual needs and tolerance.
Does Dermaplaning Make Facial Hair Grow Back Thicker?
No. Dermaplaning does not cause facial hair to grow back thicker, darker, or faster.
The treatment removes fine vellus hair from the surface of the
skin but does not change the hair follicle or its biological growth pattern. When the hair grows back, it will continue to grow according to its natural characteristics.
Is Dermaplaning Good Before a Special Event?
Dermaplaning is often a popular treatment before weddings, parties, photoshoots, and other special events because it can leave the skin looking smoother, brighter, and more polished.
Lisa Nadler Skin Care recommends scheduling a dermaplaning facial approximately 5–7 days before an important event. This allows your skin time to settle and gives you the opportunity to enjoy your refreshed complexion.
If you have never had dermaplaning before, it is best not to wait until the last minute. A consultation can help determine the best timing for your skin.
Who May Benefit From Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning may be worth considering if you want to address:
- Dull-looking skin
- Rough skin texture
- Surface dead skin cell buildup
- Fine facial hair
- Uneven-looking skin texture
- Makeup that does not apply as smoothly as you would like
However, not every skin type or skin condition is a candidate for dermaplaning. A professional skin assessment is the best way to determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.
Dermaplaning vs. Regular Exfoliation
At-home exfoliation can help remove some surface dead skin cells, but dermaplaning is a professional treatment performed using a specialized technique.
Because dermaplaning physically removes surface dead skin cells and fine facial hair at the same time, it offers a different type of exfoliation than many traditional scrubs or exfoliating products.
Your skincare professional can help determine whether dermaplaning, another exfoliation treatment, or a combination of treatments is best suited to your skin.
Dermaplaning Aftercare: What Should You Expect?
After dermaplaning, your skin may feel especially smooth and may temporarily be more sensitive. Following your aftercare instructions is important to help protect your skin.
Depending on your skin and the products used during your facial, you may be advised to:
- Use gentle skincare products
- Keep your skin well hydrated
- Avoid picking or scrubbing the skin
- Avoid additional exfoliation for the recommended period
- Wear sunscreen daily and protect your skin from excessive sun exposure
- Follow the personalized instructions provided by your esthetician
Your aftercare recommendations may vary depending on the other treatments included in your customized facial.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does dermaplaning hurt?
Dermaplaning is generally considered a gentle and comfortable treatment. Most clients do not describe it as painful, although your individual experience may depend on your skin’s sensitivity.
How long do dermaplaning results last?
Results vary because your skin naturally continues its renewal cycle and fine facial hair continues to grow. Your esthetician can recommend an appropriate treatment schedule based on your skin and goals.
Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?
Your esthetician will provide personalized post-treatment instructions. Depending on your skin and the treatments included in your facial, you may be advised to wait before applying makeup or certain skincare products. It is generally not recommended to apply makeup the same day as the dermaplaning facial.
Is dermaplaning suitable for acne-prone skin?
Dermaplaning may be appropriate for some people with acne-prone skin, but it is generally not performed over active, inflamed acne. A professional skin assessment can determine whether dermaplaning or another treatment approach is better suited to your current skin condition.
