Overview

What Is Dermaplaning?

Every day, skin is exposed to sun, pollutants, and everyday grooming products that dull its natural glow. Dermaplaning in Austin at The Piazza Center is a gentle, noninvasive exfoliation treatment — sometimes called a ‘scalpel facial’ — that uses a delicate blade to whisk away the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair, or ‘peach fuzz.’ The result is smoother, brighter-looking skin with no needles, no chemicals, and no downtime.

Benefits

The glow,
without the downtime.

By clearing away dead skin cells and fine facial hair, dermaplaning does more than smooth texture — it makes room for healthy new skin to emerge and helps everything you put on your face afterward work harder.

The Science

A Multimodal Approach, Backed by Science

At The Piazza Center, we believe skin rejuvenation works best as part of a bigger picture. Using advanced Skin Visia Analysis imaging, our team assesses three areas that determine how your skin ages: texture and tone, muscle movement, and underlying bone structure & fat volume. Understanding all three lets us build a customized Annual Skin Care Plan around your dermaplaning treatments — not just a single session in isolation.

Am I a Candidate?

Is dermaplaning
right for you?

Because there are no abrasive chemicals involved, dermaplaning is safe for almost all skin types and tolerated well by most patients. Our team will review your skin and recent treatment history at your consultation to confirm it’s the right fit.

02No Active Acne or Skin Irritation
03Want a Quick, No-Downtime Glow
04Looking for Better Makeup & Product Absorption

Patients with active acne breakouts or open wounds should talk with our team about alternative treatments. If you’ve recently had filler or an injectable wrinkle-relaxer, we recommend waiting at least a week before dermaplaning.

Investment

Cost & financing.

Dermaplaning pricing is typically based on session frequency and any paired treatments. A consultation with our team helps define your skin care goals and lays out a clear pricing plan, with financing options available to support your ongoing routine.

Results

Your Dermaplaning Results

Skin looks instantly smoother, brighter, and more even-toned as soon as your treatment is complete — with no peeling or visible downtime. Because dermaplaning also clears the way for better product penetration, patients often notice their regular skin care routine works even better in the days that follow.

Results are temporary, since skin naturally renews itself, which is why our team recommends a series of treatments spaced months apart as part of your broader Annual Skin Care Plan.
