Dermaplaning, Acid Peel, and Hydration
What is dermaplaning, and can it be done at home?
I dermaplaned my face at home, and here’s my procedure.
Dermaplaning and taking care of your skin at home is extremely possible! It will also save you time and money, plus, you’ll love how smooth and bright your skin will be.
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic treatment in which a scalpel scrapes dead skin cells and peach fuzz (also known as vellus hair) off your face.
You do not need to have this treatment done in the office, it can be successfully done at home.
What are the benefits of dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is beneficial because it mechanically removes the top micron of skin, allowing better product penetration and the appearance of newer, fresher skin cells to be seen.
Your skincare products will absorb deeper, and your makeup will look less makeupy because it’s going on a smoother canvas.
How often can you dermaplane at home?
We all collect skin cell buildup and unwanted vellus hair at different rates.
Personally, I can dermaplane once per month, but typically, I tend to do it quarterly.
DERMAPLANING PROCEDURE
This is the at-home dermaplaning procedure I’ve been sharing for years, and I still love doing it this way.
Everything I use is linked below in a blog post so you can easily find everything and any current deals.
Prepping for dermaplaning basically implies a deep clean so the dermaplaning blade can easily shave off vellus hair and dead skin.

I use a disposable 10R blade from Swann-Morton. I like these scalps best for at-home dermaplaning.
After dermaplaning and removing dead skin and vellus hair, our skin is prepped to better accept our next step, which is a light acid peel.
I use a gentle but effective acid peel. This one combines Glycolic and Salicylic acids, which are effective at brightening skin and removing debris from pores.
The Ordinary Peel
-Glycolic acid, or AHA, brightens and helps remove dead skin cells.
-Salicylic acid, known as BHA, is lipid soluble, meaning it can penetrate oils such as those found in pores.
Following the acid peel our skin is ready to receive recovery and moisture.
Double Duty : I’ve used a high-frequency wand for years, and my most loved protocol is using it in my hair to boost circulation, which aids in stronger hair follicle creation.
After dermaplaning, keep your routine simple and supportive. Focus on hydration, barrier repair, and daily SPF to protect your freshly exfoliated skin. When cared for properly, dermaplaning leaves you with smoother texture, better product absorption, and that healthy, lit-from-within glow.
