A gentle exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair to reveal smoother, softer skin and a brighter, more radiant complexion.
Discover the beauty of smoother, brighter skin with professional dermaplaning at La Pelle Studio in Denver, CO. This gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment removes accumulated dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly called peach fuzz), revealing a softer, more refined complexion.
Using a specialized sterile blade, our experienced aesthetician carefully exfoliates the skin’s surface to improve the appearance of dullness, uneven texture, and dryness. The result is skin that feels exceptionally smooth, allows makeup to glide on more evenly, and provides a refreshed, radiant appearance—all without harsh chemicals or significant downtime.
Dermaplaning is an excellent option for clients seeking an immediate skin refresh or looking to enhance their regular skincare routine. Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion or simply treating yourself to a little extra care, La Pelle Studio offers a personalized approach designed around your skin’s unique needs.
Dermaplaning uses a specialized sterile blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of your skin. This controlled exfoliation reveals a smoother, brighter complexion without the use of harsh chemicals or abrasive treatments.
Dermaplaning is generally comfortable and requires no anesthesia. Most clients describe the sensation as a light scraping or brushing against the skin. Treatments typically take around 30 minutes, and most clients can return to their normal activities immediately afterward.
One of the greatest benefits of dermaplaning is the immediate improvement in how your skin looks and feels. By removing surface buildup and peach fuzz, the treatment creates a smoother canvas for makeup application and leaves skin looking refreshed and radiant. Results are temporary as the skin naturally renews itself.
At La Pelle Studio, every treatment begins with an evaluation of your skin’s condition and individual needs. Our experienced aesthetician tailors your dermaplaning experience to support your skincare goals while considering sensitivities, active breakouts, and other factors that may affect treatment suitability.

Dermaplaning is generally painless. Most clients describe the sensation as a light scraping or brushing against their skin. The procedure does not typically require numbing cream or anesthesia, making it a comfortable option for those seeking gentle exfoliation without significant discomfort.
No. Dermaplaning does not change the thickness, color, or growth rate of your facial hair. Because the treatment removes hair at the skin’s surface without altering the follicle, your peach fuzz will grow back with its natural characteristics. The blunt tip of regrowing hair may temporarily feel slightly different, but dermaplaning will not cause thicker or darker hair growth.
Most clients enjoy smoother, brighter-looking skin for approximately three to four weeks, although results vary depending on individual skin renewal and hair growth. Because your skin naturally sheds cells and produces new hair, dermaplaning is a temporary treatment. Regular appointments can help maintain a consistently smooth complexion.
Dermaplaning is commonly performed every four to six weeks, allowing time for your skin’s natural renewal process. The ideal frequency depends on your skin type, sensitivity, and skincare goals. Your aesthetician at La Pelle Studio can recommend an appropriate treatment schedule based on your individual needs.
Dermaplaning typically requires little to no downtime. Most clients can return to their normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Some temporary redness, tightness, or mild sensitivity may occur, particularly in those with sensitive skin. We recommend gentle skincare, adequate hydration, and daily broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher sunscreen following your appointment.
Although many clients can resume makeup relatively quickly, we generally recommend waiting until the following day when possible, especially if your skin feels sensitive. Freshly exfoliated skin may be more susceptible to irritation, so giving it time to settle can help maintain comfort. When you do apply makeup, you’ll likely notice that foundation and other products glide on more smoothly. Your provider will be able to give you a recommendation tailored to your specific needs.
Dermaplaning can be appropriate for many skin types, but it isn’t recommended for everyone. Clients with active inflammatory acne, open wounds, skin infections, significant irritation, or certain inflammatory skin conditions may need to postpone treatment or consider an alternative. At La Pelle Studio, we evaluate your skin before treatment to determine whether dermaplaning is a suitable option.
Dermaplaning can temporarily improve the appearance of dullness, rough texture, and superficial skin irregularities by removing dead skin cells. However, it does not significantly treat deeper acne scars, pronounced wrinkles, or pigmentation within the skin. For these concerns, La Pelle Studio offers advanced treatments such as CO₂ laser resurfacing, CoolPeel®, SkinPen® microneedling, and VI Peel®, depending on your skin’s needs.
Dermaplaning may be incorporated into certain skincare treatment plans, but not every combination is appropriate. Pairing exfoliating procedures can increase the risk of irritation or damage to the skin barrier. Your aesthetician will determine whether dermaplaning should be performed separately or combined with another treatment based on your skin condition, treatment intensity, and overall skincare goals.
For several days before your appointment, avoid harsh exfoliating scrubs, aggressive at-home exfoliation, and irritating skincare products. Depending on your skin’s sensitivity and the products you use, you may also be advised to temporarily pause retinoids or exfoliating acids. Arrive with clean skin when possible, and let your aesthetician know about recent sun exposure, active breakouts, skin irritation, or other treatments you’ve received.
