What dermaplaning does

Dermaplaning in Falls Church at Skin Lab is a manual exfoliation. A provider glides a sterile blade across the skin to lift away the dead surface layer and the fine facial hair known as peach fuzz. Skin feels smoother at once, makeup sits flatter and products absorb more evenly.

Book it as the $175 Dermaplaning Facial, or add it to another facial for $30. Call 703-488-7546, or see the full facials menu.

Why a provider does it

The skin is cleansed and dried, then held taut while the blade moves in short strokes. It takes off what scrubs and acids leave behind, without chemicals, which is why it suits many people who cannot tolerate stronger exfoliation.

With the dull layer gone, a peel or a DiamondGlow serum reaches the skin more evenly. That is the reason dermaplaning is our most common add-on.

What we treat

  • Peach fuzz
  • Dull skin
  • Flaky texture
  • Makeup that cakes
  • Products that sit on top

What dermaplaning is for

  • Smoother skin right away

    The change is visible and easy to feel the same day.

  • Makeup that sits flat

    Foundation stops catching on fine hair and dry patches.

  • No chemicals

    It is a physical exfoliation, so there is nothing to react to.

  • No downtime

    There is no peeling or redness to plan around.

  • A better peel or DiamondGlow

    Treatments work more evenly on skin that has just been dermaplaned.

  • Easy to keep up

    Once a month, on its own or with your facial.

Dermaplaning questions

How much does dermaplaning cost in Falls Church?

The Dermaplaning Facial at Skin Lab is $175 and takes 45 to 50 minutes. Dermaplaning can also be added to a Custom Lab Facial, DiamondGlow or Glow Peel for $30, or $15 for Lab Glow members.

Will the hair grow back thicker or darker?

No. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair, the soft peach fuzz. Cutting it at the surface does not change the follicle, so it grows back the same. The blunt tip can feel different for a few days as it comes in.

Does dermaplaning hurt?

No. It feels like a light scraping across dry skin. There is no pulling, and no numbing is needed.

Is dermaplaning the same as dermablading or shaving?

Dermablading is another name for dermaplaning. It differs from shaving at home: a trained provider uses a sterile surgical blade at a set angle on prepared skin, which removes the dead surface layer as well as the hair.

How long does dermaplaning last?

About three to four weeks, which is one skin cycle. Most people repeat it monthly, often with their regular facial.

Who should skip dermaplaning?

We do not dermaplane over active acne breakouts, cold sores, sunburn or irritated skin. If you have inflamed acne, an acne facial comes first and dermaplaning waits until the skin is calm.

Can I have dermaplaning before an event?

Yes. It has no downtime and makeup goes on more smoothly afterward. Two or three days before the event is ideal.
