At GaliDerm Aesthetics in Royal Palm Beach, FL, we offer dermaplaning, an effective method for achieving smoother, more radiant skin by exfoliating dead skin cells and removing fine facial hair. The dermaplaning procedure is an excellent option for anyone looking to improve skin texture, boost their skincare routine, and achieve a flawless complexion.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a noninvasive exfoliation technique that uses a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel to gently remove the outer layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, known as peach fuzz. By removing this layer of dead skin and hair, the treatment reveals fresher, more youthful skin underneath, which looks healthier and absorbs skincare products more effectively. This treatment is safe for most skin types and is a quick and painless way to enhance your skin’s overall appearance and health.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning offers several scientifically-backed benefits that contribute to healthier, more radiant skin:
Exfoliation for Smoother Skin
Dermaplaning is an effective exfoliation method that removes the top layer of dead skin cells, which can make the skin appear dull and tired. By removing these cells, your treatment reveals the smoother skin beneath, giving your complexion an immediate boost in radiance and softness. This exfoliation process also helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, making your skin look more youthful. It may also help to improve the appearance of some particularly superficial acne scars.
Improved Skincare Efficacy
One key advantage of dermaplaning is its ability to improve the penetration and absorption of skincare products. When the layer of dead skin cells is removed, serums, moisturizers, and other treatments can better absorb. This means that your at-home skincare routine becomes more effective as the products can penetrate deeper into the skin.
Enhanced Makeup Application
Dermaplane provides an ideal foundation for flawless application for those who wear makeup. Makeup products such as foundation and concealer apply more smoothly and evenly without interfering with fine facial hair and rough skin texture. This results in a more natural, airbrushed appearance, with makeup that stays in place longer and looks better throughout the day.
Safe and Suitable for Most Skin Types
Dermaplaning is a safe and gentle treatment suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Unlike some chemical exfoliants, which can cause irritation, dermaplane is a manual exfoliation method that avoids the use of harsh ingredients. It is an excellent option for individuals who want to exfoliate their skin without the risk of redness or downtime.

Debunking Common Dermaplaning Myths
Dermaplaning is a gentle and effective exfoliation treatment, but despite its growing popularity, several misconceptions still surround the procedure. Let’s clear up some of the most common myths:
Myth 1: Dermaplaning makes hair grow back thicker and darker.
This is one of the biggest misconceptions. Dermaplaning only removes vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz, which grows back the same color and texture as before. It doesn’t alter the structure of the hair follicle, so you won’t experience thicker or darker hair growth.
Myth 2: It’s only for certain skin types.
While dermaplaning may not be ideal during active acne breakouts, it is generally safe and effective for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Our team can assess whether dermaplaning is right for you and recommend the best approach for your unique needs. Please let us know about any skin conditions that may impact your ability to undergo this treatment.
Myth 3: It causes breakouts.
In reality, dermaplaning helps prevent breakouts by removing dead skin cells and fine hair that can trap oil and debris. When performed by a skilled provider, it leaves the skin smoother, cleaner, and more receptive to skincare products.
Myth 4: It’s painful.
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive, painless treatment. Most patients describe it as feeling like a gentle scraping or brushing sensation.
By understanding the truth behind these myths, patients can feel more confident choosing dermaplaning as part of their skincare routine. At Galiderm Aesthetics, our expert providers ensure each treatment is safe, customized, and delivers glowing, smooth results.
