Dermaplaning

While there’s a variety of “at-home dermaplaning” tools out there, they can’t provide the same results as professional treatment. In fact, these tools have the potential to do more harm than good.

At JK Med Spa, our expertly trained providers use a sterile, medical-grade surgical blade—a sharper, higher-quality tool than you can use at home. We use this blade at the exact angle and with just enough pressure to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz without damaging your skin.

Attempting to achieve the same results at home can inflict lasting skin damage. Beyond potentially cutting your skin, these tools can also cause breakouts and infections. Our providers thoroughly cleanse your skin and sanitize our tools to prevent contamination.
Professional treatment not only ensures your safety but also offers more dramatic, longer-lasting results.

Just about anyone can benefit from this gentle yet effective treatment, no matter their skin type. At JK Med Spa, we offer dermaplaning for patients ages 16 and older.

For individuals struggling with dry skin, uneven skin tone, or acne scars, we often recommend integrating this treatment into their skincare routine. Beyond instantly brighter, smoother skin, it increases product absorption, making at-home skin care more effective.

Typically, we suggest scheduling treatments every month or so to maintain your results, but this next-level exfoliation method can also prepare you for special events with no downtime. Removing surface-level build-up and peach fuzz allows makeup to go evenly, so you feel radiant rather than “cakey.”

You’ll walk out of our office glowing, like your skin finally took a deep breath. Your skin may appear slightly pink immediately after treatment, but this should resolve quickly. While there’s no downtime, it’s important to protect your fresh skin from the sun with SPF 30 sunscreen or higher.

Remember, this treatment enhances product absorption, allowing skincare products to work deeper in your pores for more dramatic results. Take advantage of this opportunity and stay consistent with your routine, using science-backed skincare products that your skin will love. You’ll also notice that make-up applies more smoothly and less “cakey,” although you may opt to skip foundation and let your bare skin shine!

We value the trust you put in us to care for your skin, which is why we discuss exactly how to maximize your results before you leave our office. Beyond following our simple aftercare instructions, we may recommend combining dermaplaning with other in-office treatments to further improve your results.

Based on your specific skin type, goals, budget, and schedule, our physician-led team curates your personalized treatment plan. For example, we may suggest scheduling a dermaplaning treatment before a HydraFacial, so your freshly exfoliated skin can better absorb the targeted serums. For someone struggling with pigmentation concerns, we may recommend pairing this treatment with intense pulsed light (IPL) to target deeper concerns and surface-level irregularities.
