Dermaplaning Facial in Winnipeg: What It Is and What to Expect
If your skin looks dull no matter how much product you use, the problem is often what's sitting on the surface. A layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair can leave your complexion looking flat and stop your serums and moisturizers from absorbing properly.
Our Dermaplaning Facial clears both in one 60-minute visit. You leave with smoother, softer, more radiant-looking skin, and you can go straight back to your day.
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a gentle, manual exfoliation treatment. Your provider uses a sterile, surgical-grade blade to carefully remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and the fine vellus hair on your face, better known as peach fuzz.
There is no heat, suction or harsh chemistry involved. Skin feels smoother the moment the treatment ends, and the fresh surface lets your skincare products absorb more effectively.
What's included in your Dermaplaning Facial
This is a full facial built around dermaplaning, not a quick add-on. Your appointment takes approximately 60 minutes and includes:
Gentle facial cleansing to remove makeup, oil and sunscreen.
Exfoliation to prepare the skin.
Dermaplaning to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair.
Extractions, if needed.
A soothing and hydrating mask to calm and replenish the skin.
Finishing skincare products selected for your skin.
Broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your freshly treated skin.
The benefits of dermaplaning
Most clients notice the difference as soon as they touch their face. Dermaplaning gives you:
Smoother, softer skin
A brighter, more radiant complexion
Improved skin texture
Less surface buildup and no peach fuzz
Skincare products that absorb more effectively
A smooth canvas for makeup, with less foundation catching on dry patches or fine hair
Will the hair grow back thicker or darker?
No. This is the most common question we hear, and it is a myth.
Dermaplaning removes hair at the surface of the skin and does not touch the follicle. Your peach fuzz grows back at the same rate, in the same colour and with the same fine texture as before. The regrowth can feel slightly different at first because the tip is blunt, but the hair itself has not changed.
Who is dermaplaning for?
Dermaplaning suits most skin types. It is especially helpful for dull, dry or uneven-textured skin.
Your skin is assessed before every treatment to make sure dermaplaning is appropriate for you. We may suggest waiting or choosing a different treatment if you have:
Active, inflamed acne in the treatment area
A cold sore, sunburn or broken skin
A current flare of eczema, psoriasis or rosacea
If you use prescription retinoids or acne medication, tell us at your assessment so we can plan around it.
Before and after your appointment
A little preparation helps you get the best result.
Before: Pause retinol and exfoliating acids for a few days, and avoid sun exposure or tanning.
After: Your skin is freshly exfoliated, so treat it gently for the next few days.
Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen every day
Use a gentle cleanser and a hydrating moisturizer
Hold off on retinol, exfoliating acids and scrubs
Skip hot yoga, saunas and heavy workouts for the first 24 hours
How often: Results last about three to four weeks, which lines up with your skin's natural renewal cycle. Many clients book monthly to keep their skin consistently smooth and bright.
Frequently asked questions
Does dermaplaning hurt? No. Most clients describe it as a light brushing or scraping sensation, and many find the facial relaxing.
Is there any downtime? No. Some people have mild redness for a few hours, but you can return to your normal routine right away.
Can I combine it with other treatments? Often, yes. Dermaplaning creates a clean surface, which makes it a popular first step before other skin treatments. Ask us at your assessment which pairing suits your skin.
