Dermaplaning in Oak Ridge

Dermaplaning is a noninvasive aesthetic procedure designed to address textural concerns and reveal smoother, more radiant skin. It promotes collagen and elastin production and encourages cellular renewal for a lasting glow.

This exfoliation process helps to reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and other surface imperfections, leaving your skin looking refreshed and polished. While dermaplaning is excellent for improving skin texture and brightness, it doesn’t penetrate deep enough to treat more severe skin concerns like active acne or deep scars.

In addition to exfoliation, dermaplaning effectively removes unwanted peach fuzz. However, the hair will grow back as normal over time. For a more permanent hair removal solution, we recommend exploring our laser hair removal services.

You may also decide with your Shea provider that you would like to combine dermaplaning with another facial or procedure for better penetration and results!

When you visit us for dermaplaning in Oak Ridge, your aesthetician will use a surgical-grade blade to gently and precisely remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from your skin’s surface.

Following your dermaplaning session, we’ll apply medical-grade skincare products selected specifically for your skin type and concerns. These products enhance the treatment results, promoting hydration, smoothness, and overall skin health.

While dermaplaning is most commonly performed on the face, it can also be used to smooth the skin on other areas of the body. During your consultation, we’ll work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals and concerns.

“Does hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?”

No, hair does not grow back thicker—or darker—after dermaplaning. This is a common misconception!

Dermaplaning removes vellus hair, also known as peach fuzz, which is naturally fine and light. When the hair grows back, it will have the same texture and color as before the treatment.

The regrowth may feel slightly different at first because the hair is growing back with a blunt tip (rather than a tapered one), but this doesn’t mean it’s thicker. Rest assured, dermaplaning won’t affect the growth pattern, density, or color of your hair.

Nearly everyone is a candidate for dermaplaning in Oak Ridge at Shea Aesthetic Clinic! It’s safe for all skin types, tones, and ages. If you’re looking for a straightforward, noninvasive way to smooth and resurface your skin, dermaplaning may be a great option for you.

All we ask is that you let us know if you have any skin conditions or are currently pregnant or breastfeeding. This will help us tailor our care so that you get the most effective, safest treatment possible for your session. We will also ensure you do not have any open wounds or active acne in the treatment area before we begin, as dermaplaning can worsen these problems.

Dermaplaning is completely noninvasive and nonsurgical, so there’s virtually no downtime or recovery needed! You can return to your normal activities immediately after your session. However, because your skin may be more sensitive to sunlight and skincare products, we recommend applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoiding harsh exfoliants for a few days. This will help protect your refreshed skin and maintain your results.

In general, you can expect to have 6 to 8 weeks of smoother skin after each session, but this will depend on the primary reason you are looking for dermaplaning in Oak Ridge.

• Skin Texture and Dead Skin Cells: Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and vellus hair, leaving the skin smoother. However, skin naturally regenerates, and dead skin cells can accumulate again over time, which is why the smooth effect diminishes.
• Vellus Hair Regrowth: Vellus hair typically grows back in about 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your natural hair growth cycle. Some patients may notice their results lasting up to 8 weeks, but this can vary.

We recommend patients monitor their skin for changes and return for sessions every 4 to 8 weeks. If you notice your skin starting to feel rough again, reach out to us! Our experienced team is here to help you maintain your skin’s smooth and radiant look with your next dermaplaning session.

To enhance and prolong the results of your dermaplaning session, we recommend using medical-grade skincare products tailored to your skin’s needs. At Shea, we often apply professional serums or creams from trusted brands like SkinCeuticals, SkinMedica, SkinBetter Science, or Revision during your treatment to maximize smoothness and hydration.

For the best results, it’s important to continue with a gentle, yet effective, at-home routine. After your session with us for dermaplaning in Oak Ridge, our expert team can guide you in selecting products designed to protect and nourish your freshly exfoliated skin. This often includes a hydrating moisturizer, a soothing serum, and, most importantly, daily application of a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your renewed skin from UV damage.

We’re here to help you create a targeted skincare regimen that addresses your unique concerns and elevates your at-home routine to support your long-term skin health and radiance.
