Getting Dermaplaning in Atlanta
Exfoliation is an important part of any skin care regimen. Allowing dead skin to accumulate makes the skin look dull and dry. It can also define fine lines and wrinkles and even cause congestion in the pores. There are many ways to exfoliate the skin, one of them being dermaplaning.

Dermaplaning utilizes a surgical blade or scalpel to remove the fine, vellus hair along with the outer layer of dry, dead skin. How is this different from shaving you ask? Dermaplaning gives you a much closer shave than a razor can provide. The scalpel cuts the hair at an angle instead of blunting the end like with a razor. This is important because when the hair begins to grow back it isn’t scratchy like razor stubble but rather the hairs are immediately soft.
Preparing for Dermaplaning
3-5 days before your dermaplaning treatment it is advised to stop using exfoliating products, acids and bleaching creams/products.
- Discontinue retinols and tretinoin (Retin-A) at least 12 hours in advance (day before).
- If you have had recent sun exposure be sure all redness or sunburns have completely healed before having dermaplaning.
- Do not wax or have a skin treatment like a chemical peel or IPL 2 weeks prior to your treatment.
- Dermaplaning cannot be done if you have active acne, cold sore or open lesions.
What to Expect During Dermaplaning
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepped for treatment. A sterile blade will be opened, and your treatment will begin. Once all of the hair and skin has been removed, your skin will be cleansed again, and your aesthetician will select and apply a cocktail of products to nourish your fresh skin.
Dermaplaning Recovery Time
There is no recovery time with this treatment. Your skin will not appear at all irritated. You can apply make-up immediately.
Because this treatment offers aggressive exfoliation, we recommend not using at home exfoliators including a Clarisonic or powered cleansing brush for 3-5 days post treatment.
Dermaplaning Consultations
We believe consultations are very important when considering any skin treatment. Our consultations give us the opportunity to get to know you and understand exactly what you are looking to achieve with your skin. At your consultation you will meet with one medical aesthetician who will put together a treatment plan along with product recommendations for you to consider.

What are the risks/side effects of dermaplaning?
This procedure carries minimal risk. The worst that could happen would be to suffer a small knick or cut during treatment. Even if this were to happen you likely wouldn’t be aware of it as the blade is so sharp.
Skin Resurfacing
Skin resurfacing does just that; resurfaces. It helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by resurfacing the patient’s skin. Whether patients are struggling to get acne under control or they’re left with scars from past acne, at WIFH we have many options to treat acne and its after effects.
