Dermaplaning

At Capizzi MD in Charlotte, NC, dermaplaning is a quick, gentle treatment that leaves your skin instantly smoother, brighter, and red carpet–ready. Using a specialized scalpel, our expert aestheticians exfoliate dead skin cells and remove peach fuzz to reveal a fresh, luminous complexion—perfect on its own or as a prep step before chemical peels, facials, or laser treatments. Safe for all skin types (including sensitive and pregnancy-safe), dermaplaning is your go-to glow-up with zero downtime.

How Dermaplaning Works

During treatment, one of our highly trained providers uses a sterile surgical blade to carefully resurface the skin. This process exfoliates the outer layer of dead cells and removes fine hair that can trap dirt and oil. The result is a clearer surface that enhances product absorption and creates the perfect canvas for flawless makeup application.

Benefits Of Dermaplaning

  • Instantly smoother, brighter skin
  • Removes peach fuzz for a polished finish
  • Improves absorption of skincare products
  • Provides a flawless base for makeup
  • Non-invasive, requires no downtime

Dermaplaning is comfortable, quick, and requires no recovery time. Most sessions take less than 30 minutes, making it the perfect “lunchtime treatment.” Afterward, patients notice immediate improvement in skin texture and radiance, with results that last several weeks.

Pairing Dermaplaning with Other Treatments

For enhanced results, dermaplaning can be combined with other treatments such as chemical peels, facials, or laser services. By clearing away the surface layer of dead skin, dermaplaning allows these treatments and medical-grade products to penetrate more effectively for optimized results.

Who Is A Good Candidate?

Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and is an excellent option for patients seeking gentle exfoliation without chemicals or downtime. It is especially popular for those preparing for a big event or simply wanting to maintain a fresh, youthful glow. Patients with active acne may not be ideal candidates, and our providers will guide you toward the best treatment for your skin’s needs.
