Complement Your Home Skin Care Routine
Our dermaplaning facial at The Retreat Restorative & Aesthetics is a type of medical-grade exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin, oils, and dirt from the outer layer of skin. Exfoliating at home is a good idea, but you may not be able to get deep enough into the outer skin.
This can leave behind skin, oils, and dirt that build up in the pores. Professional dermaplaning is an excellent complement to your home skin care routine.
About
Dermaplaning is a refreshing, non-invasive facial treatment designed to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of your skin. At The Retreat Restorative & Aesthetics, this procedure is performed with precision and care, leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and more youthful.
Using a sterile surgical blade, Dr. Baker gently scrapes away the outermost layer of dead skin and hair, revealing the fresh, healthy skin beneath. This process not only enhances the overall texture and appearance of your skin but also improves the effectiveness of your skincare products and makeup application.
Benefits
Dermaplaning offers a multitude of benefits, making it a popular choice for those seeking a radiant complexion:
- Smoother skin: By removing dead skin cells and fine hair, dermaplaning leaves your skin incredibly smooth and soft to the touch.
- Brighter complexion: The treatment helps to diminish dullness and reveal a more luminous, glowing skin tone.
- Improved product absorption: With dead skin cells cleared away, your skincare products can penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
- Flawless makeup application: Enjoy a smoother canvas for makeup, resulting in a more even application and longer-lasting results.
- Reduced appearance of fine lines: Regular treatments can help minimize the appearance of fine lines and imperfections, contributing to a more youthful look.
Candidates
Dermaplaning is an excellent choice for many people looking to enhance their skin's appearance. Consider this treatment if:
- You have dull or rough skin: If your skin feels rough or looks dull, dermaplaning can help rejuvenate your complexion.
- You’re looking for a non-invasive option: Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive procedure that doesn’t require downtime, making it a great option for those seeking a quick refresh.
- You have fine vellus hair: If you want to address peach fuzz that can affect the smoothness of your skin and makeup application, dermaplaning is a great solution.

Dermaplaning might not be suitable for individuals with active acne, certain skin conditions, or excessively sensitive skin. Dr. Baker will assess your skin and discuss your goals to determine if this treatment is ideal for you.
