Smoother Texture. Brighter Skin. Instant Refinement.

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.
