If you’ve ever had a chemical peel that didn’t quite deliver the glow you expected—it might not have been the peel’s fault.
One of the best-kept secrets to getting maximum results from your peel? Dermaplaning first.
When done together, dermaplaning + chemical peels create next-level skin transformation—brighter, smoother, and more even-toned skin with no patchy peeling or uneven results.
📍 Not sure why this combo works so well? Let’s break it down.
Why Peels Work Better After Dermaplaning
Chemical peels exfoliate and resurface your skin—but if there’s a layer of dead skin, peach fuzz, and buildup in the way, they can’t penetrate evenly.
✨ Dermaplaning removes that barrier, allowing the peel to work deeper and more effectively.
✔ Better Penetration – The peel can reach fresh skin instead of sitting on top of dead cells.
✔ Even Exfoliation – No more patchy peeling or uneven absorption.
✔ Maximized Glow – The treatment works faster and delivers a brighter, more radiant result.
✔ Smoother Recovery – Skin heals more evenly and comfortably post-peel.
📍 Think of it like painting a wall—you wouldn’t apply fresh paint over dirt and old layers. You prep first for a flawless finish. That’s exactly what dermaplaning does before a peel.
Who Should Get Dermaplaning Before a Peel?
This combo works for almost everyone—but it’s especially helpful for those who:
✅ Have dull, uneven skin tone and want a smoother, brighter complexion.
✅ Struggle with hyperpigmentation or dark spots that need deeper exfoliation.
✅ Want to boost the anti-aging effects of peels for fine lines and wrinkles.
✅ Have congested skin or clogged pores that aren’t responding to regular treatments.
📍 The only people who should skip this combo? Those with active acne, open wounds, or highly sensitive skin. Otherwise, it’s one of the best ways to level up your skincare results.

What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your dermaplaning + peel treatment will typically follow this process:
1️⃣ Gentle Cleansing – To remove makeup, oil, and impurities.
2️⃣ Dermaplaning Exfoliation – Using a medical-grade scalpel, I’ll gently remove dead skin and peach fuzz.
3️⃣ Chemical Peel Application – A customized peel is applied for deeper exfoliation and glow.
4️⃣ Cooling & Soothing – Hydration and calming ingredients help reduce redness and lock in moisture.
5️⃣ Post-Treatment SPF – Your fresh new skin is protected from UV damage.
📍 Expect glowing, refreshed skin with minimal downtime. Light peeling or dryness may occur a few days after—but no major peeling like you might expect!
How to Care for Your Skin After a Dermaplaning + Peel Treatment
Since your skin will be freshly exfoliated, proper aftercare is key.
✅ Use Gentle, Hydrating Skincare – Stick to moisturizing ingredients like ceramides, peptides, and hyaluronic acid.
✅ Wear SPF 30+ Daily – Your skin is more sun-sensitive after a peel, so daily sunscreen is a must.
✅ Skip Harsh Exfoliants for 1 Week – No scrubs, retinol, or acids for at least 5–7 days post-treatment.
✅ Hydrate Inside & Out – Drink plenty of water and use a good hydrating serum or moisturizer.
📍 Following these steps ensures you get the longest-lasting glow from your treatment!
