About this treatment
Dermaplaning is a professional manual exfoliation treatment designed to refine the skin’s surface by gently removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair, often called peach fuzz. At La Lueur Beauty & Spa in Burlington, MA, this treatment is performed with precision using a sterile surgical blade for a smooth, radiant, and refreshed complexion.
During your appointment, your esthetician will cleanse and prepare the skin before using light, controlled strokes to exfoliate the face. The treatment is comfortable for most clients and does not involve chemicals, heat, or downtime, making it an excellent option before special events or as part of a regular skin maintenance routine.
Immediately after dermaplaning, the skin typically feels softer and looks more luminous. Because the barrier of dull surface buildup has been removed, serums, moisturizers, and other professional skincare products can absorb more effectively, while foundation and cosmetics tend to sit more evenly on the skin.
Results generally last about three to four weeks, depending on your natural skin renewal cycle. Dermaplaning can be enjoyed on its own or paired with select facial treatments when appropriate, helping support a polished, healthy-looking glow without the need for recovery time.
