Dermaplaning
If your skin feels rough, looks tired, or seems to have lost its glow, there’s a simple and effective way to bring it back to life—dermaplaning. At Winnie King, MD Aesthetics, this popular skincare treatment is helping clients enjoy softer, smoother, and brighter skin without any downtime or harsh products. It’s quick, painless, and leaves your face looking instantly refreshed.
So what exactly is dermaplaning? It’s a gentle exfoliation method that removes the dead skin layer sitting on the surface of your face. It also clears away the fine, fuzzy hairs many people notice along the cheeks, chin, and forehead. Using a small medical-grade tool, we carefully glide over the skin to sweep away the buildup that often causes dullness. The result is clean, polished skin that feels like new.
A Treatment with Instant Results
You don’t need to wait days or weeks to notice a change. One of the reasons dermaplaning is so popular is because the results are immediate. As soon as your session ends, your skin looks more vibrant and feels incredibly smooth. It’s the perfect option before a big event, photoshoot, or just as part of your monthly skincare routine.
Unlike harsh exfoliators or chemical peels, dermaplaning doesn’t leave your skin red or irritated. It’s gentle enough for almost every skin type—even those with sensitivities. The entire process takes less than an hour, and there’s no recovery time needed. You can head straight to dinner or work without worrying about side effects.
What to Expect During Your Visit
When you arrive at our Houston clinic, you’ll be welcomed into a calm, clean space designed for comfort and relaxation. Your face is first cleansed to remove any makeup, dirt, or oil. Then the dermaplaning process begins.
Using light, precise strokes, our trained provider will gently exfoliate the top layer of your skin. The sensation is not painful—it feels more like a soft scraping or brushing. Once finished, we apply a calming moisturizer to protect your newly revealed skin and keep it hydrated. Some clients like to pair their dermaplaning with another service like our microneedling with PRP for deeper skin rejuvenation.
Why Dermaplaning?
There are many benefits to this treatment, which is why so many people keep coming back:
Your skin care products work better. With the barrier of dead skin gone, serums and moisturizers absorb more effectively.
Makeup application is smoother. Without peach fuzz and dry patches, your foundation glides on flawlessly.
You’ll notice fewer breakouts. Removing the layer of dead cells and buildup means less chance of clogged pores.
Skin feels softer and more even. That rough texture or uneven tone? Dermaplaning helps smooth it all out.
How Often Should You Book a Session?
Most clients come in every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on their goals and skin type. This timeline matches the skin’s natural renewal process and helps maintain a fresh, glowing look. Our team can guide you on the best schedule for your skin and help you build a routine that fits your lifestyle.
Who Should Avoid Dermaplaning?
While this treatment is safe for many, there are a few cases where it may not be ideal. If you have active breakouts, certain skin conditions, or very reactive skin, we may recommend holding off or exploring other treatments like chemical peels, which we also offer at our Houston office. The key is to choose what works best for your unique skin, and that’s something we’ll help you figure out during your consultation.
