What Are Dermaplaning and Smoothing?
At Inner Beauty Concepts, our Dermaplaning and Smoothing exfoliation treatments gently resurface the skin to reveal a brighter, more even complexion. These professional methods sweep away dull, dead cells and buildup that can make your skin appear tired or lackluster. The result? A silky-smooth finish that enhances product absorption, makeup application, and reveals your natural glow.
Dermaplaning vs. Smoothing — What’s the Difference?
Both treatments deliver beautifully refined skin, but each offers a unique approach:
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation performed by a licensed esthetician using a sterile #10 surgical scalpel to delicately lift away surface debris and soft facial hair (vellus hair), leaving your skin polished and instantly radiant.
Smoothing also uses a blade, but with a gentler edge designed to glide more smoothly across the skin. This makes it perfect for those with sensitive or reactive skin who still want the benefits of physical exfoliation without the depth of a full Dermaplaning session.
Whichever you choose, both treatments refresh the skin’s surface, restore luminosity, and prepare your complexion for maximum skincare benefits. They can be enjoyed as standalone treatments or added onto any Facial for an extra boost of exfoliation and radiance.

What Skin Concerns Do These Treatments Help With?
Dermaplaning and Smoothing are versatile exfoliation solutions that can address a variety of common skin concerns, including:
- Rough or dry texture
- Menopausal facial hair
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Fine lines and mild wrinkles
- Congested pores and blackheads
- Peach fuzz that interferes with makeup
Benefits of Dermaplaning and Smoothing
Experience a radiant, refreshed complexion with treatments that go beyond simple exfoliation. Here’s what Dermaplaning and Smoothing can do for your skin:
- Activates Collagen Production – Stimulates collagen synthesis for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
- Enhances Skincare Absorption – Removes dead skin and fine facial hair, allowing serums and moisturizers to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
- Improves Skin Texture and Tone – Smooths rough patches, minimizes fine lines, and promotes an even, luminous skin tone.
- Reduces Acne Scarring – Helps soften shallow acne scars and other textural irregularities through gentle exfoliation and collagen activation.
- Prevents Clogged Pores – Keeps pores clear by removing dead skin cells and impurities that clog and congest the skin, reducing the risk of breakouts.
- Provides Immediate Radiance – Instantly brightens and refreshes your complexion for a natural glow.
How Long Do Dermaplaning Results Last?
Results typically last about three to four weeks — the length of a full skin renewal cycle. During that time, your skin remains smooth, bright, and touchably soft. Consistent treatments help maintain these results, improving texture and tone with every visit.
How Often Should I Dermaplane?
Most clients schedule Dermaplaning every four to six weeks to keep skin consistently refreshed and healthy. If you’re opting for a Smoothing treatment, you may schedule it more frequently — every two to three weeks — as a gentle way to maintain that polished glow between services. Both Dermaplaning and Smoothing are also excellent follow-up treatments two to three weeks after a Facial Peel, helping to lift remaining dead skin cells and reveal even brighter, more radiant skin.
How Should I Prepare for Dermaplaning?
To ensure the best results, avoid retinols, exfoliants, and waxing for at least 5 days before your appointment. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin so your esthetician can begin right away.
After your treatment, continue with your regular skincare routine — cleanser, toner, and moisturizer — and follow with gentle hydration and daily SPF to protect and prolong your glow. If you use a serum, ask your esthetician for guidance on how to incorporate it. Your esthetician will also review personalized aftercare tips with you during your appointment to ensure the best results and help you meet your skincare goals.
Recommended Products After Your Treatment
Maintain your freshly polished skin with professional exfoliants recommended by our estheticians. After dermaplaning or smoothing, your skin absorbs products more effectively, so using high-quality exfoliants from our three leading brands helps keep your complexion smooth, radiant, and refreshed between treatments.
