Dermaplaning is a non-invasive treatment designed to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair to reveal smoother, brighter skin.
At Jacobson Cosmetic Surgery, dermaplaning is commonly offered as an add-on treatment to other in-office procedures such as microneedling and chemical peels to enhance overall results.
By gently exfoliating the outer layer of the skin, dermaplaning helps improve skin texture while allowing skincare products to penetrate more effectively.

Manual Exfoliation to Reveal Brighter, Smoother Skin
Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that involves using a sterilized surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface.
During treatment, the outer layer of dead skin cells is carefully removed along with fine vellus hair (often called “peach fuzz”). This process reveals smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin while also improving the effectiveness of other skincare treatments.
Dermaplaning can also help create a more even canvas for skincare products and makeup application.
Key Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning offers several aesthetic benefits, including:
01
Exfoliation
Removes dead skin cells to reveal brighter, healthier-looking skin.
02

03
Improved Skincare Absorption

04
Enhanced Makeup Application
