What Is Dermaplaning at Nava Health?
Dermaplaning is a professional, non-invasive skin resurfacing and exfoliation treatment that gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (often called peach fuzz) using a sterile, specialized blade. This meticulous technique creates a polished, smooth skin surface, instantly improving texture and glow while supporting deeper penetration of skincare products. Performed by trained aestheticians in a medical setting, dermaplaning leaves skin softer and more radiant without chemical exfoliants, harsh abrasives, or downtime.

Benefits of Dermaplaning & What it Improves
Dermaplaning is ideal for clients seeking immediate skin enhancement and a gentle yet effective exfoliation option. Because it removes dead skin cells and fine hairs, it helps improve several common aesthetic concerns.
Dermaplaning Benefits & Outcomes
- Instantly smoother skin texture — Dead skin removal leaves skin soft and refined.
- Brighter, more radiant complexion — Exposing new skin promotes a luminous, even tone.
- Enhanced skincare absorption — Skincare serums and active ingredients penetrate more deeply and work more effectively.
- Professional peach fuzz removal — Removes fine vellus hair that traps oil and debris.
- Flawless makeup application — Creates a smooth foundation for makeup that glides on evenly.
- Improved skin texture and tone — Encourages cell turnover and helps reduce dullness.
Dermaplaning is also an excellent complement to other treatments such as Hydrafacials, chemical peels, and laser therapies because it clears barriers to deeper exfoliation and enhanced treatment results.

Dermaplaning vs. Other Exfoliation Methods
Professional dermaplaning is specifically designed to remove both dead skin cells and fine facial hair—a combination many traditional exfoliants, chemical peels, and at-home scrubs cannot achieve. Because of this unique dual effect, dermaplaning delivers:
- Instant smoothness
- No chemical irritation
- A perfectly smooth surface for makeup and serums
Professional technique ensures more predictable outcomes and lower risk than DIY tools or rough physical scrubs.

What Clients Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment. We use a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel to gently scrape the surface of the skin, effectively removing dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.
Not at all. The treatment is entirely painless and non-invasive. Most clients describe it as a gentle scratching sensation. It is a relaxing service that requires no numbing cream and causes no discomfort.
We recommend scheduling dermaplaning every 4 to 6 weeks. This timing aligns with your skin’s natural cellular turnover cycle, allowing us to remove dead skin cells effectively without over-exfoliating or irritating your barrier.
There is zero social downtime. You can return to your day immediately. Your skin may look slightly pink for an hour, but you will leave with an instant glow. You must apply sunscreen daily, as fresh skin is UV-sensitive.
Yes. Dermaplaning is an excellent “add-on.” Because it removes the barrier of dead skin, it enhances the results of chemical peels or facials by allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the dermis for superior results.
Yes. Because dermaplaning is a mechanical exfoliation that uses no chemicals or acids, it is one of the safest ways for pregnant or nursing women to maintain a glow and manage skin texture without risking chemical absorption.
Keep your routine simple. Avoid harsh exfoliants (like scrubs or Retin-A) for at least 3 days. Focus on hydration and, most importantly, wear SPF 30+ daily, as your new skin cells are vulnerable to sun damage.
