If you are troubled with face hairs or what is commonly referred to as peach fuzz, then you should consider dermaplaning at San Antonio Cosmetic Surgery. We strive to deliver the best dermaplaning San Antonio has to offer.
Dermaplaning is an advanced and highly effective skin treatment solution that gently exfoliates your skin to remove your facial hair. The gentle exfoliation process can also help address common skin issues such as fine lines, sun-damage, as well as dull and dry skin to leave you with a smooth, youthful, and radiant facial skin appearance. In some cases, Dermaplaning can also be effective in treating skin conditions such as scarring from acne and pockmarks. The primary reason why Dermaplaning is a popular treatment option among patients is that it is ideally suited for all skin types.
Dermaplaning is a facial exfoliating technique that removes away the top layer of dead skin and fine, peach fuzz hairs using a surgical scalpel. The procedure is quick, easy, and requires no healing or post-treatment. Although similar to microdermabrasion or chemical peel which remove dead skin cells, dermaplaning has the added benefit of removing the fine hairs that grow on the face.
Yes! Dermaplaning is effective for most people, especially those unable to have a chemical peel due to adverse conditions like dark or tanned skin, and pregnancy or lactation.
Mature skin can also benefit from the procedure, as cell regeneration slows down during aging. Rough and dry skin can be treated, as well as simple acne scarring or discoloration. However, if your skin is prone to inflammatory conditions, you may want to avoid it. Oily skin, acne, and thick facial hair are also deterrents for the procedure. Shaving does not yield the same result as dermaplaning, as it does not remove the dead skin cells. As such, do not attempt the procedure without a trained professional.
Dermaplaning is most commonly used to enhance facial skin, where its benefits are most visible and transformative. However, this safe and effective treatment can also work wonders in other areas. Here’s where dermaplaning can make an impact:
Each of these areas can experience smoother skin, reduced appearance of fine lines, and a noticeable glow after dermaplaning, all without the downtime of more intensive treatments.
Dermaplaning is a versatile treatment that works wonders on a variety of skin concerns. By removing dead skin cells and fine hair, it can help improve several key areas:
Dermaplaning offers a natural way to refresh and rejuvenate your skin, addressing multiple concerns with a single treatment. The result is a smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin with minimal to no downtime.

Anyone can be a good candidate for dermaplaning. However, it is best to always consult with an expert skin specialist such as Dr. Ortegon before deciding to go ahead with any kind of facial skin removal treatment – including Dermaplane.
The success of your Dermaplane treatment depends on a number of factors which include your skin type, skin coloring, and your medical history – each of these aspects will be discussed in detail when you come in for a consultation. It might be necessary to reschedule your Dermaplane session in case you have an acne flare-up – the process of exfoliation can further irritate your skin. You will be advised to avoid direct sun exposure at least a week before you come in for your treatment – this is done to avoid any kind of sun damage.
Immediately following your dermaplaning session, you’ll notice a beautifully smooth skin texture and a radiant glow, free from peach fuzz and dead skin cells. These initial results are visible right away, and your skin will continue to feel soft and look refreshed for several weeks. Typically, dermaplaning results last about three to four weeks as your skin naturally regenerates and builds up dead cells again. For ongoing smoothness and radiance, many patients schedule monthly treatments to maintain their results and enjoy a consistently refreshed complexion.
One of the great benefits of dermaplaning is that there’s no real recovery process. You can return to your daily activities immediately afterward—no downtime necessary. Some patients may experience slight redness or sensitivity immediately after the treatment, but this is typically mild and fades within a few hours. We recommend using gentle, hydrating products and avoiding intense sunlight or exfoliating products for at least 24 hours post-treatment to let your skin fully settle.
To keep your skin looking its best, a little aftercare goes a long way. Keep in mind these tips to maximize and extend your results:
The cost of dermaplaning varies depending on your unique skin needs and whether it’s paired with treatments like chemical peels or Dermalinfusion for enhanced results. On average, the cost of dermaplaning averages between $60 to $250 per session, making this a cost-effective rejuvenation solution. At San Antonio Cosmetic Surgery, your quoted price includes the treatment, facility fees, and expertise of our licensed skin care professionals—without additional surgical or anesthetic fees, as dermaplaning is non-invasive. During your consultation, we’ll provide a customized quote based on your specific treatment plan.
Your face will be cleansed, and then a surgical scalpel is held by the professional at an angle and used in a downward, scraping motion. The procedure is painless.
Yes. Dermaplaning is considered as a highly effective and safe facial skin removal treatment option for most people – provided the treatment is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
One session of Dermaplane typically takes less than an hour, depending on the patient.
No. As mentioned above the procedure is painless. In fact, many of our patients find the process to be relaxing.
While there are at-home dermaplaning tools available, they’re generally less effective and safe than professional treatments. For the best results and safety, it’s recommended to have dermaplaning performed by a licensed skincare professional.
You can typically apply lotion right after dermaplaning, but it’s best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin time to fully settle.
Dermaplaning is very safe when performed by a professional, but minor downsides can include temporary redness or sensitivity. It’s also not ideal for those with active acne or highly sensitive skin.
