Dermaplaning Facial in Saratoga Springs
Smooth. Bright. Instantly Glowing Skin.
Dermaplaning is one of our most popular custom facial add-ons — and for good reason. This gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment removes dull surface skin and peach fuzz to reveal smoother texture, better product absorption, and a fresh, healthy glow.
At Young & Bloom Skin, dermaplaning is performed by licensed professionals and thoughtfully integrated into your facial based on your skin goals — never rushed, never one-size-fits-all.
Also available as an add-on to HydraFacial® treatments.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile, medical-grade blade to gently remove:
- Dead skin cells
- Built-up debris
- Fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”)
The result is instantly smoother skin, enhanced radiance, and a flawless canvas for skincare and makeup. Unlike harsh peels or abrasive exfoliation, dermaplaning is safe, controlled, and suitable for most skin types when performed correctly.
Why Clients Love Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is available as an add-on to both our Custom Facials and HydraFacial® treatments, making it easy to customize your service based on your skin goals.
Immediate results
Skin looks smoother and brighter right away — no downtime.
Better skincare absorption
With surface buildup removed, your serums and moisturizers penetrate more effectively.
Makeup goes on flawlessly
Foundation applies smoother and more evenly (a favorite before events).
Gentle but effective
No chemicals, no abrasion — just clean, controlled exfoliation.
Does Dermaplaning Make Hair Grow Back Thicker?
No — this is one of the most common myths. Dermaplaning does not change the color, thickness, or growth rate of hair. Hair grows back exactly as it was before — soft and fine.
Who Is Dermaplaning Best For?
Dermaplaning is ideal if you:
- Feel your skin looks dull or textured
- Want smoother makeup application
- Have dry or rough surface skin
- Want visible results without downtime
- Are prepping for an event or photos
It may not be recommended for:
- Active acne or inflamed breakouts
- Certain skin conditions (we’ll assess this during your consultation)

Yes. When performed by a licensed esthetician using sterile, professional tools, dermaplaning is safe, controlled, and gentle.
Will my hair grow back darker or thicker?

Every 4–6 weeks is typical, depending on your skin type and goals.
