Dermaplaning in San Diego for instantly smoother, brighter skin. A 40-minute mini facial that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz with a sterile blade, no chemicals, no downtime. $75 at our Adams Ave studio in Normal Heights, or add it to any facial for $40.
The Dermaplane Mini Facial is our quickest route to glowing skin. In 40 minutes, your esthetician cleanses the skin, then uses a sterile surgical blade at a light angle to lift away the top layer of dead skin cells and the fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) that dulls your complexion and traps oil and makeup. We finish with soothing hydration and SPF.
Because dermaplaning removes what sits on the surface, everything you apply afterward works better: serums absorb more deeply, moisturizer sinks in, and makeup glides on without catching. It is the facial our clients book before weddings, photos and big meetings, and a favorite for anyone who wants a real refresh without chemicals or downtime.
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation, which makes it one of the gentlest ways to resurface the skin. There is no heat, no acid and nothing to react to, so it suits most skin types, including sensitive skin that cannot tolerate peels. It is ideal for dullness, rough texture, fine facial hair and anyone preparing for an event. We skip areas with active breakouts, rosacea flare-ups or sunburn, and we can adapt if you use prescription retinoids.
The Dermaplane Mini Facial is $75 for 40 minutes. Want a fuller treatment? Add dermaplaning to the Organic Custom Facial or the RevitaPen Facial for $40, where it prepares the skin so serums reach deeper. Members save 10% on every visit.
From first-time facial clients to seasoned skincare devotees, we have a treatment crafted for your unique skin journey.

The Dermaplane Mini Facial is $75 and takes about 40 minutes. It includes a cleanse, dermaplaning, soothing hydration and SPF. Dermaplaning can also be added to any facial, including the RevitaPen Facial, for $40 (about 20 extra minutes).
No. Vellus hair is cut straight across, not removed at the root, so it grows back with the same fine texture and color as before. This is one of the most common dermaplaning myths.
No. Most clients describe it as a light scraping sensation, similar to a gentle brush across the skin. There are no needles, chemicals or heat involved.
For most sensitive skin, yes, because there are no acids or chemicals. We do not dermaplane over active acne breakouts, open lesions, rosacea flare-ups or sunburn. If you use prescription retinoids or have had a recent peel, let us know when you book.
None. Skin may look slightly pink for an hour or two. Makeup goes on more smoothly afterward, which is why this facial is popular before weddings, photos and events.

For 48 hours, skip exfoliating acids, retinol and scrubs, avoid heavy sweating and direct sun, and wear SPF daily. Your freshly exfoliated skin absorbs products more readily, so it is a great time for hydrating serums.
