Dermaplaning
A sterile blade held at an angle lifts away dead surface cells and the fine facial hair that catches light and makeup. About 15 minutes, and most patients can see the difference when they sit up.

What it is, and what it addresses
How it works
Patients book it for two reasons: makeup that tends to sit better, and skincare that can absorb more easily once the surface layer is lifted. That is why we offer it alongside every ZO facial as well as on its own.
The hair grows back with the same texture and color it had before, not darker or coarser. Your provider will confirm it suits your skin, particularly if you have active breakouts in the area.
Benefits
- Smoother, brighter-looking skin for most patients
- Makeup often sits more evenly
- Can help serums and moisturizers absorb
- Fifteen minutes, with no downtime
Is this right for you?
Dermaplaning suits most skin types and is one of the gentler treatments on our menu. Your provider confirms it is appropriate before starting.
- Dull-looking skin or a rough surface texture
- Makeup that sits unevenly or clings to fine facial hair
- A quick refresh before an event
- Skincare that does not seem to absorb
- Active acne breakouts, cold sores, or open or irritated skin in the treatment area
- Sunburn, or recent resurfacing that has not fully healed
- Recent isotretinoin (Accutane) use, depending on your provider's guidance
Candidacy is always determined during a confidential consultation.

Our pricing philosophy
Priced differently on its own than as an addition to a facial you are already booked for. Your provider confirms the price before your service begins.

- Candidacy is determined by your provider at your visit.
Frequently asked questions
Will the hair grow back darker or thicker?
No. It lifts fine vellus hair at the surface, and it regrows with the same texture and color it had before.
Can I add it to a facial?
Yes, to any facial on our menu. It adds about 15 minutes to the appointment.
How often can I have it done?
Every 3 to 4 weeks, roughly how long the surface layer takes to renew.
Does dermaplaning hurt?
It should not. Most patients describe a light scraping sensation, similar to being shaved. No numbing is needed.
