Dermaplaning, Your Way
Enjoy it as a standalone ritual, or let it open your HydraFacial or facial — performed first, so every serum that follows sinks deeper.
Results are typically enjoyed for 3 to 4 weeks — most loved paired with a HydraFacial.
The Treatment
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from your face. The result is instantly smoother, brighter, more radiant skin that feels like silk — and a flawless canvas for makeup.
Gentle, comfortable, and with little to no downtime, it takes just 20 to 30 minutes, is gentle enough for sensitive skin and mothers-to-be, and pairs beautifully with a HydraFacial or custom facial for maximum glow.

Arrive Bare
Come in with clean, makeup-free skin, and rest your actives — pause retinol and exfoliating acids at least 48 hours before your visit; ask us to confirm what applies to you.
The Gentle Glide
A sterile blade glides across the skin at a precise angle, lifting away dead surface cells and fine vellus hair. Virtually painless — most clients find it deeply relaxing.
The Instant Reveal
Twenty to thirty minutes later, skin is visibly brighter and petal-smooth — the perfect canvas for the serums, mask, or facial that follows.
Protect the Glow

Common Questions
7 answers+
What is dermaplaning?
+
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells and fine peach fuzz from the face. The treatment is gentle and comfortable for most clients, with little to no downtime — skin is left feeling instantly smoother and more radiant. Sessions take approximately 20 to 30 minutes at Lavish Beauty in Calgary.
How much does dermaplaning cost in Calgary?
+
At Lavish Beauty in Calgary, dermaplaning is $50 — whether as a standalone treatment or as an add-on to any HydraFacial or facial. We recommend pairing it with a HydraFacial for the most luminous results, as the deeper exfoliation allows serums to penetrate more effectively.
Will my hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
+
No. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (peach fuzz), which is fine and soft. When it grows back, it returns in the same texture, thickness, and colour. Dermaplaning does not change the hair follicle structure. Only hormonal changes can alter hair growth patterns.
How often should I get dermaplaning?
+
We recommend dermaplaning every 3 to 4 weeks, aligned with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle. Many of our Calgary clients add it to their monthly HydraFacial or facial appointment for consistently smooth, glowing skin year-round.
Can I combine dermaplaning with a HydraFacial?
+
Absolutely. Dermaplaning paired with a HydraFacial is one of our most popular combinations at Lavish Beauty. Dermaplaning is performed first, allowing HydraFacial serums to penetrate more deeply. The result is dramatically smoother, more hydrated, radiant skin.
What should I avoid after dermaplaning?
+
Avoid direct sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours and apply SPF 30+ sunscreen. Skip retinoids, AHAs, and BHAs for 48 to 72 hours. Avoid harsh scrubs, hot water, saunas, and steam rooms for 24 hours. Keep skin hydrated to maintain your post-treatment glow.
Who should skip dermaplaning?
+
Dermaplaning is best postponed over areas with an active acne breakout, since gliding a blade across inflamed skin can be uncomfortable and spread congestion. Very reactive or highly sensitive skin may also be happier with a gentler exfoliation. If you are unsure, begin with our $10 consultation — credited toward your first treatment — and your aesthetician will recommend the right ritual for your skin that day.
