Dermaplaning Vancouver
Dermaplaning is a mechanical exfoliation treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Vancouver. It uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the surface of the skin, instantly smoothing the texture and supporting the absorption of professional skincare products applied afterwards.
Dermaplaning can support smoother skin texture, an immediately brighter complexion and an even surface for makeup application on the face, with optional extension to the neck. The treatment is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, and is often selected as a regular maintenance step or as a preparatory add-on before another in-clinic treatment.
Because every patient’s skin is different, dermaplaning at our Dermapure clinics in Vancouver begins with a skin assessment to confirm the treatment is suitable for you, particularly if there is active acne, very oily skin or other specific considerations.

Follow-Up & Maintenance
While the skin is generally brighter immediately after a dermaplaning session, the effects are optimal after a series of treatments at 4-to-6-week intervals. The exfoliation achieved with dermaplaning allows products to better penetrate the skin, which increases their effectiveness making it an ideal option to prepare the skin to receive another treatment. Dermaplaning can be combined with many of the treatments available at Dermapure and is recommended, for example, before a SkinCeuticals Facial or photorejuvenation. Ask your consultant about the ideal combination for your skin.
Contraindications
Patients with active acne outbreaks, extremely oily skin or solar erythema should not receive this treatment.
