What dermaplaning actually does for your skin
Dermaplaning is a precise manual exfoliation. Your licensed esthetician uses a sterile surgical blade held at a shallow angle to lift away dead surface cells and the fine vellus hair — peach fuzz — that traps oil and dulls the complexion. There are no chemicals, no downtime, and no recovery period. You walk out with skin that is visibly brighter and feels remarkably smooth to the touch.
Because the barrier of dead cells and fuzz is gone, serums and moisturizers absorb far better afterward, and foundation sits flat instead of clinging to texture. It is the treatment brides, mothers of the bride, and anyone with an event on the calendar book the week before photos.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a dermaplane facial in Branford, CT?
A sixty-minute dermaplane facial is $159. The booking cart always shows your live total, including any add-ons, before payment.
Will my hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
No. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair at the surface — it does not change the follicle, so hair grows back at exactly the same texture and color it was before.
How often should I get dermaplaning?
Every four to six weeks suits most skin, which matches the natural cell turnover cycle. Before a big event, book about five to seven days beforehand.
Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive skin?
For most people, yes — it is one of the gentlest exfoliation options because it uses no acids or abrasives. We do not dermaplane over active acne breakouts, cold sores, or inflamed rosacea; your esthetician assesses your skin first and will recommend an alternative if needed.
Can I combine dermaplaning with a peel or HydraFacial?
Yes, and it is a popular pairing. Removing the dead surface layer first lets a peel or HydraFacial penetrate more evenly. Add it during booking and the cart adjusts the timing.
Is there dermaplaning near New Haven?
Yes. We are at 249 East Main Street in Branford, about fifteen minutes from New Haven with free parking at the door.
