How does Dermaplaning Work?
Dermaplaning is a type of exfoliation that gently uses a sharp blade to remove dead skin cells, and facial hair or peach fuzz. The end result is brighter, more radiant skin. This exfoliation procedure is performed by using a sharp blade to scrape away at the skin’s surface at a 45-degree angle.
This non-surgical process is painless and requires no downtime. Your provider will begin by cleansing your face to remove any makeup.

Dermaplaning Benefits
Remove vellus hair (peach fuzz)
Dermaplaning effectively removes peach fuzz (vellus hair), the fine, soft hair often found on women’s faces, leaving skin instantly smoother.
Exfoliate and remove dead skin cells
By clearing away dead skin cells, dermaplaning brightens the complexion and improves texture for a more youthful look.
Help manage minor breakouts
This treatment helps unclog pores blocked by dirt and oil, reducing breakouts. With regular sessions, acne flare-ups become less frequent.
Improvement of Home Skin Care Products
By removing the barrier of dead skin, dermaplaning allows topical products to penetrate more deeply, making home skincare routines more effective.
Refresh and Lift Your Mood
The gentle scraping sound and sensation can be relaxing, often leaving clients feeling refreshed and even boosting mood.
Prepping Your Skin for Chemical Peels, Microneedling and PRP
Dermaplaning primes the skin for treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, and PRP, helping results last longer and perform better.
Great for pregnant or breastfeeding women, sensitive skin, or anyone with allergies

VI Peel FAQ
How to Prepare Your Skin for Dermaplaning
Prior to the procedure, use a gentle cleanser and tone on your face thoroughly. This will prevent any bacteria from causing breakouts after the procedure.
What Are the Side Effects of Dermaplaning?
After dermaplaning, you may experience redness in your skin for a few hours. But can go back to your normal skincare routine after a few hours as there is no downtime associated with this treatment.
How is dermaplaning different from shaving?
Dermaplaning is used for exfoliation of your skin, while shaving aims at only removing hair. When having this procedure done, your Livio provider will hold the instrument at a 45 degree angle, gently scraping away dead cells and vellus hairs on your face.
Does Dermaplaning Make Your Facial Hair Grow Back Stubbly?
Dermaplaning does not cause hair to grow back thicker or darker. Because hairs are cut at a 45-degree angle, they regrow tapered and soft, similar to natural vellus hair.
To prevent dryness, apply a rich moisturizer or hydrating mask after treatment, and use sunscreen daily in the days following your session to protect and support healing.
Can I do dermaplaning safely at home?
Although you can do dermaplaning yourself at home, it’s safer to consult a licensed aesthetician or board-certified Nurse or Nurse Practitioner for the procedure. Someone without the required experience may cause cuts or infections during dermaplaning.
Is dermaplaning and scrub the same?
Dermaplaning differs from scrubs in that it doesn’t remove the outermost layers of your skin; rather, Dermaplanning gently scrapes away that top layer and eliminates vellus hair (or peach fuzz), leaving your face smoother and clearer.
How Dermaplaning Enhances Other Products or Procedures?
Traditional exfoliation often falls short, but professional dermaplaning removes dead cells and fine facial hair to reveal smoother, more even-toned skin. After treatment, makeup applies more evenly, and skincare products penetrate deeper for enhanced results.
Does Dermaplaning cause breakouts?
Dermaplaning can help with mild to moderate pimples and blemishes by exfoliating dead skin cells and removing peach fuzz that may clog pores. This also allows acne serums and treatments to penetrate more effectively, helping prevent new breakouts.
During treatment, a trained aesthetician uses a sterile blade at a 45-degree angle to gently scrape away buildup. For best results, avoid harsh products afterward and follow a thorough cleansing routine.
Proper aftercare is key to preventing future breakouts—use a hydrating toner, apply sunscreen, and follow your provider’s instructions to keep skin clear and healthy. Choosing an experienced professional ensures the best outcome.
Can i workout after VI Peel?
Yes, you can exercise 3 days after receiving a Vi Peel; however, it is recommended to avoid sun exposure for at least one week. Excessive sweating immediately after getting a VI peel is not recommended. It can interfere with skin healing. Applying an effective SPF 30 sunscreen with regularity also helps protect the skin from UV rays while it heals to avoid any potential damages or irritation.
Can you wear makeup after a vi peel?
Do not wear makeup immediately following VI Peel treatments. It is recommended that you wait for four to six days before applying occlusive makeup.
