What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation treatment. After the skin is cleansed and dried, a sterile surgical-style blade is held at a shallow angle and drawn across the face in short, light strokes. This lifts away the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with soft vellus hair that can trap oil and make makeup look uneven.
The result is skin that looks brighter and feels smoother, and skincare products may absorb more evenly afterwards. Dermaplaning works only on the surface, so it does not treat deeper concerns such as acne scars, deep wrinkles or melasma. It is often combined with soothing or hydrating care from our facial treatments menu, or compared with microdermabrasion.
Who is a good candidate for dermaplaning?
- Dull, rough or uneven skin texture
- Visible peach fuzz that makes makeup look cakey
- People wanting a quick refresh before an event
- Those who prefer exfoliation without acids
- Dry or mature skin that looks flat
Dermaplaning is not suitable over active acne, inflamed or broken skin, sunburn, cold sores or rosacea flare-ups, and should be avoided shortly after strong peels or retinoid irritation. If you have very sensitive skin or a skin condition, the doctor may recommend a gentler option such as an Aqua Peel instead.

How the treatment works
-
Consultation
Your skin type and concerns are assessed and the doctor confirms whether dermaplaning or another exfoliation suits you.
-
Cleansing
Makeup and oil are removed and the skin is dried so the blade can glide evenly.
-
Exfoliation
Light, short strokes with a sterile blade remove dead skin and fine hair from the face.
-
Soothing & aftercare
Calming serum or a mask is applied. Use sunscreen and avoid strong actives, scrubs and saunas for a few days.
Tips for international patients
- Dermaplaning has no downtime, so it fits easily between sightseeing days.
- Come without heavy makeup, or allow time for it to be removed.
- Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily afterwards, as fresh skin is more sun-sensitive.
- Ask on WhatsApp about combining it with a hydrating facial in the same visit.
Frequently asked questions
Does facial hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
No. Removing fine vellus hair by cutting does not change its thickness or colour; it grows back as the same soft hair over a few weeks.
Does dermaplaning hurt?
Dermaplaning is usually comfortable and no anaesthesia is needed. Most people feel only a light scraping sensation.
How often can I get dermaplaning?
Most people repeat it every three to six weeks, in line with the skin's natural renewal cycle. More frequent treatment can irritate the skin.
Is there downtime after dermaplaning?
Usually none. The skin may look slightly pink for a few hours, and you can wear makeup the next day or as advised.
How much does dermaplaning cost in Seoul?
The doctor confirms the price as part of your skin care plan. See our published skin care and facial prices.
