Skin can lose its glow when dead cells and fine hair collect on the surface, leaving it looking flat or textured, no matter how well you hydrate. Dermaplaning at our medspa in Short Hills, New Jersey, offers a clean slate—removing that buildup in a single session for a light-reflective finish. Performed by licensed medical aesthetician Alyssa, this skin rejuvenation method gently skims away debris to immediately boost brightness and allow your skincare to sink in more effectively.
It’s a no-fuss treatment that delivers visible polish on its own or adds extra impact to facials and peels. With no downtime and instant results, it’s an easy favorite for regular maintenance or pre-event prep.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation method using a sterile blade to remove dull surface skin and fine vellus hair. This allows skincare products to absorb better and gives makeup a smoother finish. The technique is controlled and gentle, producing an immediate brightening effect without irritation or recovery time.
It’s especially helpful when the skin looks lackluster, feels rough, or tends to accumulate buildup that keeps it from reflecting light evenly.
What Dermaplaning Helps Improve
Dermaplaning can support clearer, softer, more even-looking skin by addressing:
- Dull or ashy complexion
- Fine peach fuzz that disrupts makeup application
- Dry, flaky surface buildup
- Mild texture irregularities
- Skincare product absorption
- Glow before events or photos
It is safe for a wide range of tones and can be paired with treatments like facials or HydraFacial for deeper rejuvenation.
Your Dermaplaning Treatment
Alyssa begins by cleansing the skin before carefully gliding the blade across the surface in small, controlled movements. Most sessions take about 20–30 minutes, and the experience is easy and relaxing—often described as a gentle polishing of the skin.
Your complexion will look smoother and reflect light more evenly immediately. There is no downtime, though Alyssa will recommend SPF and hydrating products to protect your freshly exfoliated skin.
Why Choose Our Medspa?
Dermaplaning is simple but requires a steady hand and an understanding of how different skin types respond to exfoliation. As a medical aesthetician, Alyssa brings both personal insight from her own skin journey and advanced training in clinical skincare to every session. She adjusts each treatment based on sensitivity, thickness, and texture to deliver a polished, radiant result.
These treatments take place within the Beverly Friedlander MD practice. Dr. Bev—a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 25 years of aesthetic experience—helps guide the overall protocols offered at the med spa. Her oversight ensures all skin services, including dermaplaning, align with professional standards of safety and long-term skin health.
