What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment offered at Urbane Beauty Co. in Latham, NY, designed to reveal smoother, brighter, and more refined-looking skin.
Using a specialized sterile blade, our skincare professionals gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with fine facial hair, commonly known as peach fuzz. This precise exfoliation can help soften the appearance of dullness and uneven texture while creating a smoother surface for skincare and makeup.
For Urbane clients, dermaplaning is ideal when you want an instantly polished look before a special occasion, smoother makeup application, or a simple way to refresh a dull complexion. Your treatment is personalized to your skin and can also complement your existing skincare routine, helping you maintain the smooth, beautifully cared-for appearance you love.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dermaplaning
No! Even though the idea of having your face shaved with a scalpel may not sound very pleasant, Dermaplaning is actually an amazingly relaxing and enjoyable treatment. It is a very gentle procedure that involves no harsh chemicals, tugging, pulling, or scratching of the skin. Dermpalaning treatments are completely non-invasive and are safe for all skin tones and types.
Most patients should dermaplane about once a month for ideal results. Since the body naturally replaces skin cells each month, this ensures the old cells are removed and new, healthy skin cells are visible. In some cases, more or less frequent visits may be recommended based on the patient’s specific needs.
Dermaplaning treatment scrapes the skin just enough to trick it into thinking it has been injured. That injury alert spurs collagen production and pushes the skin to start regenerating cells, resulting in the youthful, glowing, refreshed skin that many patients have after treatment.
No, that is not true. Dermaplaning does not impact or change your hair follicles or the rate that they can grow.
