Gently Resurface and Refresh with Dermaplaning

At Holcomb–Kreithen Plastic Surgery & MedSpa in Tampa, dermaplaning is one of our most popular non-invasive treatments for instantly smoother, softer, and more radiant skin. This gentle procedure removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz from the surface of your skin — no needles, no downtime, and no irritation. If your complexion is looking dull, uneven, or tired, dermaplaning may be exactly what your skin needs for a fresh restart.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-surgical, manual exfoliation technique performed with a sterile, surgical-grade blade. The treatment works by gently scraping away the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly known as peach fuzz), revealing healthier skin beneath.

It’s quick, painless, and highly effective at enhancing skin tone and texture. And because dermaplaning allows better penetration of skincare products, it’s a great add-on to facials, chemical peels, and Hydrafacial™ treatments.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is an ideal choice for patients looking to:

  • Brighten and smooth dull, uneven skin
  • Instantly soften fine lines and light wrinkles
  • Remove facial peach fuzz for a flawless finish
  • Improve skin tone and texture
  • Enhance product absorption and efficacy
  • Prepare skin for makeup application
  • Enjoy a relaxing, no-downtime treatment

Dermaplaning is also a fantastic option before a big event or photoshoot, offering an immediate glow and a smooth canvas for makeup.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

While dermaplaning is most commonly performed on the face, it can also be used to gently exfoliate smaller areas such as the neck or jawline. It’s safe for nearly all skin types and tones — even sensitive skin.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

  • Your licensed medical aesthetician will begin by cleansing the skin.
  • Using a sterile, single-use blade, they will carefully exfoliate the top layer of skin and remove fine facial hair.
  • The treatment takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
  • No pain, no downtime — just smoother, brighter skin.
  • You can return to normal activities immediately afterward.

For added results, dermaplaning can be combined with HydraFacial®, chemical peels, or LED light therapy.
