Dermaplaning facial
What is a dermaplaning facial?
Dermaplaning is a form of manual, physical exfoliation. A licensed esthetician holds a sterile, surgical-grade blade at a careful angle and glides it across the skin to remove the buildup of dead surface cells and the soft vellus hair, the "peach fuzz," on your face. It sounds dramatic, but it is gentle, comfortable and has no downtime. At SpaRx Medical Aesthetics of Thonotosassa we finish with an enzyme mask, so you get a second, gentler layer of exfoliation: the enzymes help digest remaining dead cells while calming and soothing the skin. The result is skin that looks instantly smoother and brighter, absorbs skincare better and gives you a flawless base for makeup. Dermaplaning pairs beautifully with a signature facial and is a great first step before treatments like microneedling.
In-office dermaplaning facial vs at-home dermaplaning
At-home dermaplaning tools can help between visits, but they are not the same as a professional treatment. Here is how they compare.
| In-office dermaplaning facial | At-home dermaplaning | |
|---|---|---|
| Blade & safety | Sterile, surgical-grade blade used by a licensed pro | Drugstore razor or tool, easy to nick or irritate |
| Exfoliation | Blade plus an enzyme mask, two steps | Blade only |
| Peach-fuzz removal | Thorough and even | Patchy, hard-to-reach spots |
| Prep & aftercare | Cleanse, enzyme mask, serum and SPF | None |
| Results | Smooth, glowing, makeup goes on flawlessly | Quick, but uneven and short-lived |
| Risk | Low, performed by a trained esthetician | Nicks, irritation and missed spots |
A professional dermaplaning facial is the safe, thorough option, and the enzyme mask gives you a level of exfoliation an at-home razor cannot. Your provider will tailor the treatment to your skin at your visit.
What a dermaplaning facial treats
Dermaplaning is a gentle, versatile facial that leaves almost every skin type smoother and brighter. These are the concerns patients at SpaRx Medical Aesthetics of Thonotosassa ask about most.
Dull, rough texture
Removing built-up dead skin instantly smooths rough texture and reveals a brighter, fresher surface.
Flaky, dry patches
Gentle exfoliation lifts dry, flaky buildup so moisturizer and serums absorb better and skin looks hydrated.
Tired, uneven tone
Sloughing off dull surface cells brightens tired-looking skin and helps soften the look of fine lines.
Peach fuzz & makeup base
Removing fine facial hair leaves skin soft and smooth, so makeup sits flawlessly instead of clinging to fuzz.
Your dermaplaning facial, step by step

02
Enzyme mask
Next, a gentle enzyme mask goes on for a second layer of exfoliation. The enzymes help digest remaining dead cells while calming and soothing the skin.
03
Hydrate & protect
We finish with a soothing serum, moisturizer and SPF. There is no downtime, so you leave glowing and can head straight back to your day, makeup and all.

Book your dermaplaning facial online in seconds, or start with a quick consultation if you have questions.
Is there downtime, and does the hair grow back thicker?
Right after, skin looks instantly smoother and brighter. You may notice slight pinkness or a bit of sensitivity that settles quickly. Aftercare is simple: keep skin hydrated, skip harsh actives and heavy exfoliation for a day or two, and wear SPF every day, which matters year round in the Florida sun since freshly exfoliated skin is a little more sun-sensitive. Many people book dermaplaning before an event precisely because there is no visible recovery and makeup goes on flawlessly. Your provider will give you personalized aftercare at your visit.
How much is a dermaplaning facial in Thonotosassa?
A dermaplaning facial with an enzyme mask at SpaRx Medical Aesthetics is $149, and you can book it online in seconds. Because it includes both the dermaplaning and a finishing enzyme mask, you get two forms of exfoliation in one visit.
Dermaplaning is great as a one-time glow-up or on a regular schedule, so ask about package and membership pricing when you visit if you plan to come in every few weeks. It also layers well with a deep cleaning hydro facial or an oxygen facial for an even deeper treatment.
Want to add dermaplaning to another facial or come in regularly? Ask about packages and memberships. Your provider can build the right plan at your visit.
How often should I get a dermaplaning facial?
Because dermaplaning removes about a month's worth of dead skin and fine hair, results are instant, then build with a regular routine as texture stays smooth and skincare works better. A single facial is perfect before a wedding, photos or a big event; a regular schedule is ideal if you want to keep that just-facialed glow. Pair it with good home care and daily SPF, and your provider will fine-tune your timing. Individual results vary.
Is a dermaplaning facial right for you?
Dermaplaning is one of the gentlest exfoliating treatments we offer, and it is comfortable for most skin types and tones. It is a favorite for anyone who wants smoother texture, less peach fuzz and a flawless makeup base with zero downtime.
A few situations call for extra care. Dermaplaning is usually adjusted or avoided if you have active, inflamed acne or breakouts in the area, a cold sore or other active skin infection, very reactive skin or a rosacea flare, a recent sunburn, or if you have recently used isotretinoin. It also removes only soft facial hair, not coarse or terminal hair. Let your provider know your history and the products you use, and they will make sure dermaplaning is a good fit or suggest the right alternative.
A note on expectations: a dermaplaning facial is a gentle exfoliation and grooming treatment that leaves skin instantly smoother, with results that stay best on a regular schedule. It is not a medical or surgical procedure and does not treat active acne or remove coarse hair. Your provider will set honest expectations and suggest another treatment when it is a better fit.

Dermaplaning facial FAQs
What is a dermaplaning facial? +
A dermaplaning facial is a gentle exfoliating treatment where a licensed esthetician glides a sterile, surgical-grade blade across the skin to remove dead surface cells and fine peach-fuzz hair. At SpaRx Medical Aesthetics we finish with an enzyme mask for a second, gentle layer of exfoliation, so skin looks instantly smoother, brighter and makeup-ready.
What is the enzyme mask, and why is it included? +
The enzyme mask is a gentle, second step of exfoliation applied after dermaplaning. The enzymes help digest remaining dead skin cells while calming and soothing the skin. Pairing the blade exfoliation of dermaplaning with an enzyme mask gives you two complementary types of exfoliation in one visit for a smoother, brighter result.
Does dermaplaning hurt, and is there downtime? +
Most people find dermaplaning comfortable and relaxing, with no numbing needed and no pain. There is no downtime: skin looks brighter right away, and any slight pinkness settles quickly. You can go back to your day and even wear makeup, which tends to go on more smoothly afterward.
Will my facial hair grow back thicker or darker? +
No. This is a common myth. Dermaplaning removes soft vellus hair, the fine "peach fuzz" on your face, which grows back exactly as fine and soft as it was before. It does not change the color, thickness or texture of your hair.
How often should I get a dermaplaning facial? +
Every 3 to 4 weeks is ideal for most people, which matches your skin's natural cell-renewal cycle. Skin looks smoother and brighter after a single treatment, so it is also perfect as a one-time glow-up before a wedding, photos or an event. Your provider will recommend a schedule for your skin and goals.
What does a dermaplaning facial treat? +
Dermaplaning helps with dull, rough texture, flaky or dry surface skin, tired or uneven-looking tone, and peach fuzz. By removing dead skin and fine hair it also helps skincare absorb better and gives you a flawless base for makeup. It softens the look of fine lines but does not treat active acne or remove coarse hair.
Is dermaplaning safe for my skin type, and who should avoid it? +
Dermaplaning is gentle and comfortable for most skin types and tones. It is usually adjusted or avoided if you have active, inflamed acne or breakouts in the area, a cold sore or other active infection, very reactive skin or a rosacea flare, a recent sunburn, or recent isotretinoin use. Your provider reviews your history first and will confirm it is a good fit.
Can dermaplaning be combined with a facial or done before microneedling? +
Yes. Dermaplaning is a great add-on to a facial and is often done first because the smooth, exfoliated surface helps other treatments and products work better. It is also a popular first step before treatments like microneedling. Your provider will recommend the best pairing for your goals.
How much is a dermaplaning facial at SpaRx, and who performs it? +
A dermaplaning facial with an enzyme mask is $149, and you can book it online. It is performed by the SpaRx licensed esthetics team, Genesis Martinez, Nicole Mora and Sydnee Womack, with physician oversight from Dr. Kendrick Heywood.
