Smooth, Radiant, Effortless:
The Truth About Dermaplaning
You’ve probably heard the rumors: “Doesn’t shaving your face make your hair grow back thicker?” Let’s clear that up once and for all — no, it doesn’t!
Dermaplaning is one of the most loved treatments at Pelle Sana Facial Spa because it’s safe, effective, and instantly leaves your skin feeling silky, smooth, and makeup-ready. It’s skincare’s version of hitting the reset button — revealing a fresh, radiant layer underneath while allowing your other facial treatments to work even better.
Performed with Precision and Oversight
At Pelle Sana Facial Spa, your safety and results are always our top priority. We uphold the highest professional training and safety standards, and this service is overseen by certified board plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Kim of Elite Plastic Surgery in Lancaster, PA. This partnership ensures that every dermaplaning session is performed with the same level of care, precision, and accountability you’d expect from a medical-grade skincare environment — because your skin deserves nothing less.
What Exactly Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation technique that uses a sterile, surgical-grade blade to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly known as peach fuzz). The treatment is painless, relaxing, and immediately revealing — your esthetician glides the blade over your skin to lift away dull buildup, unveiling a smoother, brighter complexion that feels as soft as silk. It’s safe for nearly all skin types and can be performed as a standalone glow treatment or as a booster to your Pelle Sana facial journey for enhanced results.
The Hair Growth Myth — Debunked!
Let’s set the record straight: dermaplaning does not cause hair to grow back thicker, darker, or faster. Hair growth is determined by genetics, hormones, and follicle type — not by shaving or removing hair at the surface. Dermaplaning only removes hair above the skin, not the follicle itself (where hair growth actually begins). So when it grows back, it feels exactly the same — fine, light, and soft.
The Hair Growth Cycle — Simplified
- Anagen (Growth Phase): Hair actively grows from the follicle.
- Catagen (Transition Phase): Growth slows and the follicle begins to shrink.
- Telogen (Resting Phase): The hair naturally sheds to make room for new growth. Because dermaplaning doesn’t touch the follicle, it cannot alter this natural cycle.
- Myth: “It grows back thicker.”
- Truth: “It only feels different temporarily because the tip of the hair is blunt, not tapered.”
The Benefits You’ll Notice Right Away
Dermaplaning delivers instant results that both look and feel transformative:
- Radiant Glow – Exfoliates dull, dead skin to reveal luminosity.
- Enhanced Product Absorption – Skincare penetrates deeper and works more effectively.
- Flawless Makeup Finish – Creates a smooth canvas for glowing application.
- Gentle Exfoliation – Ideal for sensitive or reactive skin.
- Perfect Partner Treatment – Elevates every Pelle Sana facial by boosting clarity, hydration, and glow.
Why Add Dermaplaning to Your Facial Journey
Think of dermaplaning as the perfect first step in your facial ritual — it removes the barrier that keeps your skincare from performing at its peak.

In RESTORE & LIFT facials – it enhances firming, brightening, and collagen activation.
In CLEAR facials – it improves clarity and reduces congestion.
In RELAX facials – it leaves the skin smooth, soft, and visibly calm.
Who It’s Perfect For
Dermaplaning is safe and effective for most skin types, including those who want:
- Instant smoothness and radiance
- A gentle alternative to microdermabrasion
- Better absorption of skincare products
- A picture-perfect finish for special events or photoshoots If you have active acne or certain sensitivities, your Pelle Sana esthetician will tailor your plan to ensure optimal timing and results.
