Dermaplaning
At Little Laser Clinic in Long Island City, NY, dermaplaning is a non-invasive treatment that gently exfoliates the skin’s surface for a smooth, radiant finish. Performed by our Master Esthetician, Jenna Seeto, LE, this professional facial treatment removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (often called peach fuzz) to reveal brighter, healthier-looking skin. Patients from Long Island City and across New York City trust our clinic for advanced facial treatments that enhance natural beauty with precision and care.
Dermaplaning is a safe, effective exfoliation method that uses a sterile scalpel to carefully remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair. Unlike chemical peels, which rely on acids to exfoliate, this treatment is a physical exfoliation procedure that instantly smooths the skin’s surface. The process helps unclog pores, reduce the appearance of acne scars, and improve overall skin tone and texture. At our Long Island City med spa, dermaplaning treatments are often paired with other facial treatments likeHydrafacials, LED light therapy, or clinical-grade skincare to maximize results.
Dermaplaning is more than a quick refresh — it’s a powerful cosmetic procedure that leaves your complexion looking polished and glowing. By removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz, this treatment creates a smooth surface that allows skincare products and makeup to perform more effectively.
Benefits include:
Safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin
While dermaplaning is most commonly performed on the face, especially the cheeks, forehead, and chin, it can also be used on select areas of the neck. The treatment is designed to target the top layer of the skin where dead cells and fine hair accumulate, making it an excellent choice for visible areas where smoothness matters most.
Dermaplaning is an excellent option for patients seeking a safe, non-invasive treatment that provides immediate results. Ideal candidates include healthy adults that struggle with dry skin, dull skin, uneven skin texture, or fine facial hair that makes makeup application difficult. It’s also beneficial for patients with mild acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or fine lines.
Dermaplaning is not recommended for patients with active acne, open wounds, or certain skin concerns that require a different approach. During your consultation, Christine Chen or Jenna Seeto will review your skin type, medical history, and goals to ensure dermaplaning is the perfect solution for you.
Dermaplaning is highly effective for treating dullness, acne scars, fine lines, peach fuzz, uneven tone, and clogged pores. By targeting the skin’s surface, this treatment promotes a smoother, more radiant complexion that feels refreshed and renewed.
Your dermaplaning experience will begin with a personalized consultation at Little Laser Clinic in Long Island City. Christine or Jenna will discuss your skincare concerns, evaluate your skin type, and determine whether dermaplaning is the best treatment option. Patients should arrive with a clean face free of heavy makeup, and we recommend pausing retinoids or harsh exfoliants a few days prior to the procedure.
The dermaplaning procedure is simple, safe, and relaxing. Using a sterile surgical scalpel, Jenna gently exfoliates the top layer of skin and removes fine hair. The treatment takes about 30–60 minutes and does not require anesthesia or numbing agents. Patients often describe the sensation as similar to light shaving. After the procedure, clinical-grade skincare may be applied to enhance results, and some patients combine dermaplaning with facials, chemical peels, or light therapy for deeper rejuvenation.
One of the most appealing things about dermaplaning is the immediate, noticeable improvement in skin appearance. You’ll notice smoother texture, reduced dullness, and a fresh glow right after your appointment. Aside from mild redness that typically resolves within a few hours, patients can return to normal activities right away.
To maintain your results, you should protect your skin with sunscreen, avoid harsh exfoliants for a few days, and use hydrating skincare products during your routine. Most patients benefit the most from scheduling dermaplaning treatments every four to six weeks to maintain optimal smoothness and skin health.
