Dermaplaning

At Élu Med Spa in Marlborough, MA, Dermaplaning is one of our most popular treatments for instant, camera-ready radiance. Using a precise, medical grade blade, Dermaplaning gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”), unveiling a soft, glowing complexion that feels as good as it looks.

Why Dermaplaning Works

Dermaplaning offers immediate exfoliation without chemicals or downtime. It enhances product absorption and provides a smooth canvas for makeup, making it ideal before events or as part of your monthly skincare routine.

By manually exfoliating the surface layer, dermaplaning helps:


  • Diminish the appearance of fine lines

  • Minimize pores

  • Improve tone and texture


  • Brighten dull complexions

A Treatment for All Skin Types

Whether your skin is dry, sensitive, or oily, dermaplaning is safe, effective, and pain-free. It’s perfect for clients who want visible rejuvenation but prefer to avoid peels or lasers.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should I get dermaplaning done?

    Most people benefit from dermaplaning every 4–6 weeks, which aligns with the skin’s natural cell turnover cycle. 


    Regular treatments help maintain a consistently smooth texture and radiant glow.

  • Will my facial hair grow back thicker or darker?

    No—this is a common myth. Dermaplaning does not change the color, thickness, or growth rate of your hair. The fine vellus hair will grow back just as it was before treatment.

  • Is there any downtime after dermaplaning?

    There’s no downtime at all. You may notice slight pinkness immediately after, but this fades quickly. You can return to your normal routine right away and even apply makeup the same day if desired.

  • Who is a good candidate for dermaplaning?

    Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, especially those with dull, dry, or uneven skin. It’s also a great option for pregnant or nursing women who want exfoliation without harsh chemicals. 


    However, those with active acne or open lesions may need to wait until their skin clears before treatment.
