Dermaplaning | Scottsdale

Dermaplaning is a safe, effective and affordable skin resurfacing procedure that offers deep facial exfoliation – while also temporarily removing fine “villus hair”, commonly referred to as “peach fuzz.”

A sharp, clinical-grade scalpel is used to scrape off the top layer of skin cells. But while the blade is very sharp, dermaplaning is a pain-free and relaxing treatment – with virtually no downtime afterwards. Deep exfoliation of the face not only removes dead skin cells, dirt and debris but also offers anti-aging and skin resurfacing benefits. The skin-scraping of dermaplaning actually stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin – the building blocks of youthful skin – to improve skin tone, plump skin texture, and reduce fine lines, wrinkles, redness and pigmentation.

And unlike expensive and painful laser skin resurfacing treatments, dermaplaning is safe for all skin tones – including darker skin colors!

Dermaplaning at Tutera Medical in Scottsdale, AZ will leave your facial skin radiant, smooth, glowing and silky soft. Dermaplaning also helps foundation, highlighter, blush, and bronzer apply more smoothly and blend more effectively. And because there is no downtime after dermaplaning, it is an excellent treatment for getting a beautiful glow in day-to-day life as well as before special occasions and events!

Dermaplaning FAQs

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is an exfoliation treatment that involves gently scraping the face with a medical-grade scalpel to remove both dead skin cells and the fine vellus hairs that are known as peach fuzz, leaving the surface of the face ultra smooth. By stimulating the development of new skin cells, this type of exfoliation helps new skin rise to the surface. It leaves patients with a more youthful and dewy face, but without any harsh chemicals, excessive downtime, or pain.

Who Should get Dermaplaning?
People that desire smoother skin with reduced appearance of fine lines, improved skin imperfections, and less vellus hair (peach fuzz). Dermaplaning is great for any skin type that needs exfoliation.

What Should I Expect with Dermaplaning?
Patients can expect improved skin texture and appearance in a single 1-hour appointment. Results are seen immediately. Monthly treatments are recommended to maintain glowing skin.

Get the Most Out of Dermaplaning with Peptide Therapy

Our providers recommend adding topical GHK-Cu peptide therapy to your dermaplaning treatment at Tutera Medical in Scottsdale, AZ.

GHK (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) is a substance that is naturally present in human plasma, saliva, and urine – but that declines with age. Copper peptides are small, naturally occurring protein fragments that have high affinity for copper ions, which are critical to normal body function.

GHK-Cu has a variety of roles in the human body including, but not limited to, promoting activation of wound healing, attracting immune cells, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, stimulating collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin fibroblasts, and promoting blood vessel growth.

Peptides act as cellular messengers, triggering the skin cells to perform specific functions needed to maintain healthy, smooth, elastic skin – such as building collagen and elastin – which helps skin to look and feel younger.
