How Dermaplaning Works
Dermaplaning is a precise, superficial exfoliation that removes the uppermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the face. The process creates a smoother skin surface so topical products reach the surface more directly. Results depend on each client's natural skin texture and recent skincare routines rather than any single guaranteed outcome.
Because this add-on targets only the skin’s surface, the extent and duration of the effect depend on skin type, oil production, and household or environmental factors such as local humidity and pollen levels. A clinician at Auralis assesses your skin before adding this technique to determine whether it’s an appropriate complement to your chosen facial service.
What To Expect During Visit
The Dermaplanig Add On is delivered as part of a facial or treatment visit and is performed with the skin clean and prepped. Clients typically experience little to no downtime; some transient redness or sensitivity can occur. Most people can resume normal activities the same day, with simple aftercare and sun protection recommended to support the skin surface.
At Auralis Skin & Beauty Clinic this add-on is offered for $40 and takes approximately 20 minutes to perform. Scheduling is flexible to accommodate commuters and families in the Lake Ridge and Woodbridge area, and your clinician will advise on timing relative to other treatments or events you have planned.
Local Care Considerations
Woodbridge’s humid subtropical climate, seasonal pollen and variations in temperature can influence immediate comfort after exfoliation and short-term skin sensitivity. Clients who spend prolonged time outdoors or who are managing seasonal irritation should discuss timing with their clinician so aftercare can be matched to local conditions.
