Facials at Serenity Esthetics

Dermaplaning in Englewood, CO

You noticed that your skin looks dull under natural light, makeup is hard to settle evenly, and your skincare routine is no longer effective. If these realities sound familiar, the issue is not the products you’re using. A layer of compacted dead skin cells can prevent products from working and make your complexion appear tired, textured, and flat.

Our dermaplaning treatment in Englewood, Colorado, removes that barrier, restoring how your skin absorbs active ingredients. At Serenity Esthetics, our medical estheticians can correct the surface so your skin performs the way it should.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic, manual exfoliation treatment that targets the very top layer of skin that’s responsible for rough texture, dull tone, and poor product absorption. When using a sterile surgical scalpel, your medical esthetician performs controlled, feather-light strokes to gently remove compacted dead cells, fine vellus hair, and surface debris.

And even though the skin naturally sheds cells every 28–40 days, the process slows down with age, stress, weather conditions, and environmental exposure. When dead cells linger, they:

  • Scatter light to make skin appear flat and tired
  • Traps oil and bacteria to contribute to acne and congestion
  • Interfere with how skin care products penetrate
  • Emphasize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin texture

Dermaplaning is an effective way to improve your skin’s quality safely and effectively. This procedure doesn’t irritate skin and is a good alternative approach to microdermabrasion and chemical peels.

Why Dermaplaning in Englewood Delivers Immediate Results

Dermaplaning works instantly because it physically removes the skin’s surface layer. Once the dull layer is gone, skin reflects light more evenly. That’s why our clients notice results right after their first dermaplaning treatment session.

By removing cells and peach fuzz together, this procedure creates a smooth canvas that:

  • Looks brighter
  • Feels soft to the touch
  • Allows active ingredients to sink in better
  • Makes makeup look more natural

The glow is not cosmetic. It’s optical and structural, and that’s why you see it right away.

“Beyond my expectations. Nice and professional. My face is glowing.”

Dermaplaning and Facial Hair: What Actually Happens

Many women worry that their facial hair will return thicker after dermaplaning, but that’s a myth. The procedure removes only fine vellus hair, the soft, translucent fuzz on the surface, not coarse terminal hair. Because the follicle remains unchanged, the hair grows back with the same softness, color, and density as before.

The only real difference people notice is how much smoother, brighter, and more even your skin looks in the meantime. This is the main reason why dermaplaning is a favorite choice among makeup lovers, because foundation and powders sit beautifully once the peach fuzz is gone.

Is Dermaplaning Safe for All Skin Types?

Dermaplaning is a safe and highly effective treatment for most skin types when performed by licensed and dedicated professionals. At Serenity Esthetics in Englewood, CO, we perform a detailed skin assessment before every treatment.

While suitable for a wide range of clients, we may recommend delaying the service if you’re experiencing:

  • Active inflammatory acne
  • Open lesions or infections
  • Severe irritation or a compromised barrier
  • A recent chemical peel
  • Active rosacea flare-ups
  • Recent use of retinoids or exfoliating acids
  • Current use of Accutane (Isotretinoin)
  • Sun damage or windburn

Your safety is never secondary to results. Contact us for more information.

The Dermaplaning Procedure, Step-by-Step

  1. Skin deep cleansing: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or impurities. This step is key as it prepares the skin for the exfoliation process so that the treatment is as effective as possible.
  2. Application of a sterile surgical scalpel: We use a specially designed sterile surgical scalpel for the procedure.
  3. Gentle scraping at a 45-degree angle: The aesthetician gently scrapes the skin to remove dead cells and hair.
  4. Post-treatment skincare: After the scraping process, your dedicated esthetician will apply soothing post-treatment skincare products to calm and hydrate the skin. They also apply a broad-spectrum SPF to seal the treatment and protect freshly revealed skin.

This facial treatment lasts approximately 30–45 minutes. There is no downtime, but you may experience mild pinkness that typically fades within hours.

Post-Dermaplaning Tips

Post-treatment care is equally important to protect and nourish the newly exposed skin. To protect and support the fresh skin, we recommend the following:

  • Use a gentle moisturizer to maintain hydration
  • Apply SPF, as the skin is more sensitive to UV exposure
  • Avoid direct sunlight
  • Skip heavy makeup for 24 hours to prevent irritation
  • Drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is dermaplaning, and how is it different from shaving?

Dermaplaning is a gentle yet effective cosmetic procedure that requires the use of a surgical scalpel to exfoliate and refine the skin. Shaving only removes hair and does not address texture or dead cells.

How soon will I see results?

You’ll notice a smoother, more radiant skin immediately after your first session. For more visible results, a series of 4-6 treatments adjusted to your skin concerns is recommended.

Is dermaplaning painful?

You might feel a scratching or stinging sensation on your skin, but dermaplaning usually isn’t painful.  Generally, it’s a painless procedure that most people find quite relaxing.

Is dermaplaning safe, and are there any side effects?

Yes. It’s considered one of the safest aesthetic facials for every skin tone, texture and type, with minimal side effects such as mild redness that typically fades within hours.
