Dermaplaning Facial
If your skin looks dull, uneven, or rough — or if makeup no longer applies smoothly — dermaplaning may help restore clarity and softness through precise manual exfoliation.
Over time, dead skin cells accumulate on the surface. Fine vellus hair can trap oil and debris. Texture becomes less refined. Light does not reflect evenly.
A Dermaplaning Facial at Élevé Esthetics in Jessup, Maryland is performed within a medically guided setting and designed to enhance skin smoothness, brightness, and product absorption — without downtime.
Reserve your consultation to determine if dermaplaning is appropriate for your skin goals.
What Is a Dermaplaning Facial?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair (vellus hair) from the surface of the skin.
This treatment improves surface texture and allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively. Unlike chemical exfoliation, dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation technique that provides immediate smoothness.
At Élevé Esthetics, dermaplaning is incorporated into customized skin plans based on clinical evaluation and skin analysis.
What Dermaplaning May Improve
Dermaplaning may be appropriate for individuals experiencing:
- Uneven skin texture
- Dull or tired appearance
- Mild surface pigmentation
- Fine surface lines
- Dry or flaky skin
- Makeup that sits unevenly
- Congested skin prone to buildup
Suitability is determined through consultation and professional skin assessment.

What to Expect
Consultation & Skin Analysis
Every Dermaplaning Facial begins with a consultation and professional skin analysis.
During your visit, we evaluate:
- Skin type and sensitivity
- Hydration levels
- Active acne or inflammation
- Presence of rosacea or reactive skin
- Texture irregularities
- Medical history and contraindications
This assessment allows us to determine whether dermaplaning is appropriate or whether alternative treatments may better support your skin goals.
If dermaplaning is recommended, a personalized treatment plan is reviewed before proceeding.
Informed consent is required prior to treatment.

During your Dermaplaning Facial:
