Dermaplaning in Hillsboro OR
Smooth, Bright, and
Instantly Refreshed Skin
At Epion Aesthetics and Wellness in Hillsboro Oregon, we offer dermaplaning for patients who want a non-invasive, chemical-free way to rejuvenate their skin. This gentle treatment removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) with precision, leaving your skin instantly smoother, brighter, and more radiant.
If you are looking for a simple treatment that delivers immediate results and enhances the effectiveness of your skincare products, dermaplaning is a proven and safe choice.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation technique performed with a sterile surgical blade. With skilled, steady hands, our providers carefully remove the very top layer of dead skin cells, scar tissue, and fine hair that can dull your complexion.
This treatment does not involve harsh abrasives or chemicals. Instead, it is a mechanical exfoliation that refreshes your skin in a way that is safe, effective, and comfortable.
How Dermaplaning Works
During your session, your skin is first cleansed and dried. Your provider holds the skin taut and uses a scalpel at a precise 45-degree angle to gently glide over the surface of your face. The process sheds dead skin, softens surface irregularities, and removes peach fuzz.
The immediate outcome is a smoother complexion, while the longer-term benefits include healthier skin that better absorbs your products and appears more youthful.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Patients love dermaplaning for its ability to deliver both instant gratification and long-term results. Benefits include:
- Smoother, more radiant skin
- Reduction of fine lines and superficial wrinkles
- More even skin tone and improved texture
- Diminished appearance of shallow acne scars
- Removal of peach fuzz for a flawless makeup application
- Enhanced effectiveness of skincare products due to deeper penetration
Dermaplaning Compared to Other Treatments
There are many resurfacing treatments available, but dermaplaning stands out for its gentle approach.
- Dermaplaning: Uses a surgical blade to exfoliate the skin and remove fine hair. Safe, simple, and chemical-free.
- Dermabrasion: A more aggressive technique that sands down deeper imperfections and requires longer recovery.
- Microdermabrasion: A milder exfoliation that uses crystals or suction but does not remove vellus hair.
Dermaplaning is often a favorite for patients seeking immediate results with no downtime and no harsh aftereffects.
Ideal Candidates for Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is safe for most people, especially those with:
- Dry or rough skin textures
- Dull or uneven complexion
- Mature skin with slower cellular turnover
- Fine vellus hair that makes makeup look uneven
It is not recommended for patients with active acne, eczema, or certain chronic skin conditions, as the treatment may worsen irritation.
What to Expect During Your Dermaplaning Session
Preparation
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and dried to allow the blade to glide smoothly.
Procedure
Your provider will gently hold your skin taut and glide the blade across your facial contours. Most patients find the treatment comfortable, with only a mild tingling sensation.
Post-Treatment
Your skin will appear instantly smoother and brighter. Some mild redness may occur but typically resolves quickly. Sunscreen is essential, as your skin will be more sensitive to the sun for several days.
