When your skin looks dull or textured, even the best makeup and skincare won’t sit quite right. That’s because dead skin cells and fine facial hair can block product absorption and create a rough surface. At Advanced Body and Laser Center (ABLC) in Visalia, dermaplaning is a fast and effective way to reveal smoother, more radiant skin without harsh chemicals or downtime.
This gentle exfoliating treatment removes dead skin and peach fuzz in a single visit—helping your products work better and your skin look instantly refreshed. Whether you’re prepping for a big event or maintaining your monthly glow, dermaplaning at ABLC offers a simple, safe solution that fits easily into your skincare routine.
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skincare treatment that resurfaces the skin by manually removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface. It’s performed using a sterile surgical blade that gently glides across the face to exfoliate the outermost layer of skin. This process encourages cell turnover and leaves the complexion softer, brighter, and more even.
Unlike treatments that involve chemicals, heat, or suction, dermaplaning is well-tolerated and safe for most skin types. The result is smooth, polished skin with no irritation or downtime.
Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation technique that precisely removes dead skin buildup and facial hair using a fine-tuned blade. The treatment is performed by a trained skincare specialist and can be completed in about 30 to 45 minutes.
It’s commonly used as a standalone treatment or as preparation for more advanced facials and chemical peels, allowing deeper product penetration and more dramatic results.
Your provider uses a sterile surgical blade held at a 45-degree angle to gently scrape away dead skin and hair. While it might sound intense, the process is incredibly gentle and relaxing. There’s no cutting, no abrasion, and no downtime.
As the blade passes over the skin, it reveals the newer, more vibrant layers underneath and helps clear clogged pores and dull buildup. Following the treatment, a soothing serum or moisturizer is applied to hydrate and calm the skin.
Dermaplaning is a versatile treatment that addresses several common skin concerns:
It’s often chosen as a pre-event treatment because it leaves skin looking luminous and smooth—ideal for flawless makeup application.
At ABLC, every dermaplaning treatment is customized to your skin’s condition and your overall goals. Our experienced skincare professionals perform each session with precision and care in a calm, comfortable environment.
Dermaplaning is primarily performed on the face but may also be used on other small areas prone to fine hair and dullness, such as the neck. The most frequently treated zones include:
Because the procedure is non-invasive, it’s an excellent add-on to other aesthetic services such as facials, LED therapy, or chemical peels.
Dermaplaning is safe for most people and can benefit a wide range of skin types and tones.
Ideal candidates for dermaplaning include individuals who:
1.) Want a smoother, more radiant complexion
2.) Have dry, dull, or flaky skin
3.) Struggle with uneven texture or minor acne scarring
4.) Use makeup frequently and want better application results
5.) Are looking for non-invasive exfoliation without chemicals or peeling
It’s also a great option for those with sensitive skin who can’t tolerate abrasive scrubs or chemical treatments.
Although dermaplaning is gentle, it may not be right for everyone. You should avoid this treatment if you:
1.) Have active acne or open breakouts
2.) Have an active skin infection or cold sores
3.) Have a history of keloid scarring
4.) Are currently using certain acne medications (like Accutane)
During your consultation, our team will help determine whether dermaplaning is appropriate for your skin or suggest an alternative if needed.
Each dermaplaning appointment at ABLC follows a step-by-step approach to ensure your comfort and safety while delivering noticeable results.
We begin with a personalized consultation to evaluate your skin and discuss your goals. We’ll examine texture, tone, and any sensitivities to make sure dermaplaning is a good fit for your skin.
The treatment begins with a thorough cleanse to remove surface oil and debris. Then, using a sterile surgical blade, your provider gently glides over the skin in small, controlled strokes. The entire process takes around 30–45 minutes.
Following treatment, your skin may be slightly pink or flushed for a few hours. A hydrating serum or calming mask is applied to soothe the skin and support recovery. You’ll be given aftercare guidance, including:
You’ll notice a brighter, smoother complexion immediately after your appointment. Makeup will glide on more easily, and products will absorb more effectively. For best results, many clients return every 4 to 6 weeks for maintenance treatments.

Ready for softer, smoother, and more radiant skin? Dermaplaning is a fast, effective way to improve your complexion with zero downtime.
Each session typically lasts between 30 to 45 minutes, making it ideal for those with busy schedules. Many patients choose to fit it in during their lunch break or before an event. The process is quick, effective, and leaves your skin immediately smoother.
Not at all. Most patients describe the treatment as feeling like a gentle scraping or soft brushing across the skin. It’s a relaxing and non-invasive experience with no discomfort.
Most people benefit from a treatment every 4 to 6 weeks. This timing aligns with the skin’s natural regeneration cycle, allowing fresh skin to be revealed regularly. Consistent sessions can help maintain a radiant, even complexion.
No, dermaplaning does not affect the thickness or color of facial hair. The soft vellus hairs (peach fuzz) grow back at the same rate and texture as before. It’s a common myth, but the procedure doesn’t change the hair follicle.
There is minimal to no downtime. Some clients experience slight redness or sensitivity right after the treatment, but this usually fades within a few hours. You can return to your regular routine right away.
Yes, but we suggest waiting at least a few hours to allow your skin to settle. Many clients find their makeup applies more smoothly and evenly afterward. Your skin will have a soft, flawless base for product application.
In most cases, yes. Because dermaplaning is free of chemicals and heat, it’s often well-tolerated by sensitive skin. That said, we’ll assess your skin during your consultation to ensure it’s the right fit.
Dermaplaning can improve the appearance of mild, shallow acne scars over time. It removes the outer layer of dead skin, promoting new cell growth and better absorption of scar-reducing products. For deeper scarring, we may recommend combining it with other treatments.
Avoid sun exposure, harsh exfoliants, and active ingredients like retinol or glycolic acid for at least 24–48 hours. Stick to gentle cleansers and hydrating products to support your skin as it settles. Don’t forget to apply SPF daily.
Yes, dermaplaning is generally safe for all skin tones and types. However, it’s not recommended if you have active acne, open wounds, or certain skin conditions. Our team will evaluate your skin beforehand to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.
