Dermaplane Facial in Knoxville

A Dermaplane Facial at Elite MedAesthetic is a medical-grade exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently shave the surface of the skin. This process removes the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), resulting in an instantly smoother, brighter complexion.

The primary benefits of dermaplaning include deeper penetration of skincare products, smoother makeup application, and the immediate removal of dullness. It is an effective, non-chemical way to brighten the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and eliminate trapped dirt and oils.

No, dermaplaning does not change the structure of your hair. The “peach fuzz” removed during the treatment is vellus hair, which naturally grows back with the same fine texture and light color as before. It is physiologically impossible for this type of hair to turn into coarse, dark terminal hair due to shaving.

A standard Dermaplane Facial in our Knoxville clinic typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. It is a perfect “lunchtime” procedure because it requires no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately with a fresh glow.

For the best results, we recommend scheduling a Dermaplane Facial every 4 weeks. This timeline follows the natural 28-day rejuvenation cycle of your skin cells, ensuring that dead skin buildup is removed just as new, healthy cells reach the surface.

Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin and those who are pregnant or nursing. However, it is not recommended for individuals with active cystic acne, sunburns, or extremely oily skin, as the blade may cause irritation to inflamed areas.

Yes! In fact, combining dermaplaning with a chemical peel or a HydraFacial is a signature service at Elite MedAesthetic. Removing the dead skin barrier first allows the active ingredients in the peel to penetrate much deeper, significantly enhancing your results.

While both are exfoliation treatments, dermaplaning uses a blade to manually scrape the skin and remove hair, making it better for those with peach fuzz. Microdermabrasion uses suction and a textured tip to “sand” the skin, which is often better for deeper pore congestion but does not remove facial hair.

After your treatment, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. We recommend applying a medical-grade SPF 30+ daily and avoiding harsh exfoliants (like retinols or AHAs) for 48 to 72 hours. Stay hydrated and use a gentle moisturizer to support your new skin barrier.
