Dermaplaning Facial at NPMD is a low-downtime exfoliation treatment for patients who want smoother, brighter-looking skin and temporary removal of fine facial hair, often called peach fuzz. The treatment uses controlled manual exfoliation to remove surface buildup and vellus hair so the complexion can look more polished and feel softer.
This page uses Dermaplaning Facial as the canonical service name, while “Dermaplaning” is treated as the same service intent. We are not creating a duplicate page because the existing Treatments route already covers the canonical service: /treatments/med-spa-treatments/dermaplaning-facial.
Dermaplaning is best for patients who want a polished surface reset rather than deep resurfacing. It can help the skin look cleaner, brighter, and smoother when dullness, fine facial hair, or surface buildup is part of the concern.
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation and peach-fuzz removal service. It is different from a hydrating treatment, a chemical peel, microneedling, or laser resurfacing because it focuses on the skin surface rather than deeper remodeling.
During consultation, we may compare dermaplaning with Facials, Medical-Grade Facial, Hydrating Glow Facial, Hydrafacial, Chemical Peels, or Microneedling Facial depending on whether the priority is fuzz removal, hydration, exfoliation, acne control, pigment, or texture correction.
Dermaplaning should be matched to the condition of the skin that day. Even though it is usually low downtime, it is still exfoliation with a blade-based technique, so skin irritation, active breakouts, infection risk, and aftercare matter.
Treatment usually begins with cleansing and a skin check. If dermaplaning is appropriate, the provider uses controlled, light strokes with a dermaplaning tool to remove fine facial hair and superficial dead skin buildup. The plan may then include calming hydration, barrier support, and SPF guidance.
The goal is a smoother, brighter-looking surface, not aggressive scraping. If the skin is inflamed, heavily broken out, recently treated, sunburned, or too reactive, NPMD may recommend delaying dermaplaning or choosing a gentler facial plan first.

Most dermaplaning visits have little downtime, but the skin can feel temporarily more sensitive because the surface has been freshly exfoliated. Mild redness, tightness, dryness, tingling, irritation, or small breakouts can happen.
Aftercare usually focuses on gentle cleansing, lightweight hydration, avoiding harsh scrubs, pausing strong active ingredients as directed, not picking, and using sun protection. If dermaplaning is done before an event, it is smart to plan enough time for any temporary sensitivity to settle.
Skin often feels smoother quickly after dermaplaning, and makeup may apply more evenly. Peach fuzz removal is temporary because the hair grows back naturally from the follicle. Dermaplaning does not make the hair grow from a deeper point, and it should not be used to treat the underlying cause of unusual or rapid facial hair growth.
If deeper skin goals are present, NPMD may recommend Chemical Peels, Microneedling with PRP, RF Microneedling, or CO2 Laser Full Face Treatment instead of relying on dermaplaning alone.

If you want smoother, brighter-looking skin and temporary peach fuzz removal, a consultation can help decide whether dermaplaning is right for your current skin condition and how it should fit into your facial maintenance plan.

NPMD; Amy, one of the smartest, kindest, compassionate and brilliant Nurse Practitioners. She offers expert medical care and medical advice in a way that you understand. When she examines you and reviews your medical issues, not one detail is missed. she explains treatment options for you in a manner that is precise, individualized and understandable. When she discusses your medical problems she is so kind, soft spoken, you can feel the discussion is coming from her heart, her deep understanding of medicine and human mankind. When you are with her YOU are not a patient with a chart number and a hurried 15 minute office visit. You are sitting with a person that makes you feel you count and that you are part of her medical family. I have been coming to NPMD since it's opening in Encino, Ca. The office is very clean and quite beautiful. George, RN is so nice and so smart as well. Amy's entire staff duplicate her and her vision for what 5 star medical care should be. By the way if you are thirsty the office has the best coffee, made just for you as well as a variety of cold healthy beverages to drink. The location is easy to get to and the parking is relatively inexpensive, compared to most LA parking. My husband comes here now and every time I get a chance I always recommend that my friends or just people I speak to come to NPMD. If you can just come and visit NPMD, I am well, thriving and very very happy with the care and attention I receive for this unbelievable practice. Thank You NPMD and Amy

NPMD is not your typical type of care — they are rare and one of a kind. The professionalism takes your entire expectation to the next level. Let me begin by saying, when you step into the clinic, it feels like a luxury health center. Amy has been a blessing sent to my family and me. I could go on about her forever. She values each and every one of her patients. She explains everything clearly and makes sure all of your questions are answered. My healthcare needs have become so much easier because of her. George goes above and beyond for us... He has been so patient and kind with my 10,000 questions. No matter how busy he is, he always makes sure to be available to help. One thing I can say is that he will be sure to cure you with his big smile and energy, even on your worst day. I just want to say your work made me look so flawless and natural. I’m so glad to have found you both. Thank you to you and your staff for making us all feel so welcomed. NPMD is where love, care, perfection, and excellence come together!!!
