Dull skin, stubborn peach fuzz, and a makeup routine that never quite sits the way it should — these are the daily frustrations that can stand between you and the glowing complexion you deserve.
What if a single treatment could tackle all three at once, with no needles, no downtime, and results you can see the same day? Dermaplaning has become one of the most in-demand skincare treatments precisely because it delivers exactly that: an immediate, visible transformation that leaves skin smoother, brighter, and perfectly prepped for whatever comes next.
At RX MD Solutions MedSpa in Plano, TX, every dermaplaning treatment is performed by Shanon Crisp MSN, APRN, FNP-C, a board-certified nurse practitioner and lead aesthetic injector with the clinical expertise to tailor each session to your unique skin. As Plano’s top-rated med spa, RX MD Solutions combines advanced techniques with a deeply personalized approach.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive procedure in which our provider uses a specialized instrument to shave away the outermost layers of skin. The treatment involves a sterile surgical scalpel held at a precise 45-degree angle to gently remove dead skin cells and vellus hair — commonly known as peach fuzz — from the face.
Unlike chemical exfoliants, dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, and delivers immediate results with zero downtime. It can be performed as a standalone treatment or combined with other services, such as PCA Skin chemical peels (opens in new tab) and filler treatments (opens in new tab), to enhance product absorption and overall results.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning can reduce the appearance of skin imperfections by revealing newer, undamaged skin, leaving skin radiant and glowing. Additionally, it is a hair removal method.
By clearing away the buildup of dead skin cells and fine facial hair, dermaplaning allows skincare products and serums to penetrate more deeply — making your at-home routine significantly more effective. The result is also a smoother canvas for makeup application, creating a flawless, airbrushed finish that’s difficult to achieve on untreated skin.
With consistent treatments, patients often notice gradual improvements in the appearance of acne scars, uneven texture, and hyperpigmentation.
How to Prepare for a Dermaplaning Appointment
Reduce sun exposure; dermaplaning cannot be performed on sun-burned skin. No waxing, AHA/BHA, Retinol, Accutane for at least 5 months, or topical acids. In the days leading up to your appointment, keep your skin well hydrated and avoid harsh scrubs or physical exfoliants that could sensitize the skin’s surface.
Plan to arrive with a clean, makeup-free face so your provider can fully assess your skin and confirm your candidacy for treatment. Be sure to inform your provider of any active breakouts, skin conditions, or recent cosmetic procedures, as these factors may affect whether dermaplaning is appropriate for you at that time.
What to Expect During & After Dermaplaning
The provider will cleanse the skin and examine it to ensure you are a candidate for dermaplaning. Next, a thin blade will be used to manually exfoliate the skin’s uppermost layers.
If no other treatment is performed, a soothing botanical and broad-spectrum SPF will be applied. After your treatment, you may experience a windburn sensation.
Dermaplaning Results
After your appointment, you may feel tight, itchy, and sensitive. Use a mild cleanser and moisturizing agents. After the procedure, patients notice glowing, radiant skin, flawless makeup application, reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and dewy, youthful skin.
