What Is
Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaining is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that shaves away the top layers of your skin and can be used to reduce the appearance of acne scars, pitted skin, or unwanted hair. Most patients will have the treatment performed on their face, but anywhere on your body could be treated. While the treatment can make your skin look younger, it won’t stop the aging process.
Demaplaning has been utilized to treat the following skin conditions:
- Acne scars
- Actinic keratosis (scaly skin patches that can lead to skin cancer)
- Dull or dry skin
- Peach fuzz (light, soft hair on your face)
- Skin damaged by sun exposure
- Fine lines and wrinkles
What are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?
Our team at Pure by Alpha Dermatology has seen our Bucks County Dermaplaning patients enjoy the following benefits from their treatment:
- A light exfoliation
- Brighter-looking complexion
- Smoother foundation for makeup
- Removal of peach-fuzz
- Softer, smoother skin

Dermaplaining
We believe that just about everyone can be a great candidate for Dermaplaning, but it is important to maintain realistic expectations and a positive attitude. Unfortunately, if you are currently dealing with any of the following skin concerns, you may not be a viable candidate at this time:
- An active case of acne
- Cold sore outbreaks
- Eczema
- Moles, freckles, skin tags, or other skin growths
- Psoriasis
- Skin burns, such as those from radiation therapy
- Skin rashes (contact dermatitis)

What’s the first step?
If you would like to get Dermaplaning in New Hope or Sellersville, PA, the first step is to contact your nearest Pure by Alpha Dermatology location. During this appointment, you will meet with a member of our Aesthetics team who will answer any questions you have, listen to your goals, and assess the treatment area. You will also need to answer some questions about your medical history just to ensure you are a safe candidate for the treatment. Once they have the information they need, a treatment plan will be written up for you. If you agree with the plan, you can have your dermaplaning immediately, or if you would like to reschedule for any reason, our Patient Coordinator will be able to help you with that.
What to Expect on the Day of Dermaplaning
Depending on what is discussed during your consultation, the first thing that may happen is you will have a numbing cream applied to your skin about 30 minutes before your procedure. This general anesthetic will help make your treatment more comfortable. Then, the Provider will hold your skin tight and then use a sterile surgical tool to gently scrape the dead skin and hair off.
After you are finished, you will be offered a soothing gel or ointment to reduce redness, swelling, or irritation. The entire treatment can take a few minutes up to an hour and a half, depending on your needs and the targeted surface area.
Dermaplaning Recovery
You will be able to leave immediately after your treatment and go about your day, but keep in mind that your skin will likely be red, swollen, and/or slightly tender. If the pain gets to be too much, you can treat it with over-the-counter pain medication. These side effects should only last a day or two, but if you notice any swelling to last longer than a week or get worse, please contact our office immediately.
During your initial recovery period, you may notice some enlarged pores or small whiteheads, but these should subside with the swelling. You may begin to notice a scab forming over the treated area, but this is completely normal and will fall off on its own – do NOT pick at it. Anytime you are in sunlight, make sure to wear a quality SPF as your skin will be sensitive to UV rays.
Cost
The cost of Dermaplaning in New Hope or Sellersville, PA is determined by numerous factors, including your particular goals and surface area. After meeting with one of our Aesthetic team members and they can create your treatment plan, our Patient Coordinator will be able to use that information to provide you with a cost breakdown of your procedure.
