Dermaplaning has become a buzzword in the beauty world, and for good reason. From enhancing skin texture to boosting skincare effectiveness, this gentle yet transformative treatment is quickly becoming a staple in Winnipeg’s skin care scene.
Let’s explore why dermaplaning facials are in such high demand for achieving that glowing, makeup-free look.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation technique that uses a sterile, professionally engineered blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hairs—commonly known as peach fuzz—from the surface of the skin.
This creates an ultra-smooth canvas that not only immediately looks brighter but also enhances the absorption of your daily skincare products. Makeup wearers also love dermaplaning facials for the velvety-smooth base it provides for foundation.
Why the Demand for Dermaplaning is Rising
Skincare aficionados have made this a top treatment to get, simply for how skin just ‘drinks in’ daily skincare products when a layer of dead skin cells has been removed. The healthy glow is inimitable.
But the first word that comes to mind when it comes to dermaplaning is: Soft. It’s amazing what the elimination of debris you didn’t even know was blocking the soft, dewy texture of fresh skin can do.
Whether you are new to the treatment or considering it as part of your skin journey, Winnipeg dermaplaning services come in different options for everyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is professional dermaplaning the same as home dermaplaning with a drugstore tool?
Let’s compare professional dermaplaning to a home treatment with a drugstore dermaplaning tool:
Results:
A drugstore dermaplaning tool removes minimal if any dead skin cells and provides inconsistent hair removal at varying areas of each hair shaft. For safety reasons, the blade(s) is less sharp and less efficient than professional ones. Your skin is left more or less smooth in patches, and dead skin cells remain, clogging your pores.
Professional dermaplaning results in smoother skin, improved texture, and a brighter complexion due to the precise removal of dead skin cells and vellus hairs (peach fuzz) as close to the root as possible with an expertly-wielded scalpel. You actually notice your skincare products absorb better and foundation use is buttery-smooth.
Technique:
At-home dermaplaning typically employs a regular razor or a blunter, drugstore dermaplaning tool that you attempt to use from challenging angles and with varying, inconsistent pressure. Even with a sharper tool, the removal of hair and skin is uneven.
Professional dermaplaning involves skilled estheticians using a precise, specifically-engineered blade with which they remove hair and debris at a consistent skin layer depth, even in hard-to-reach areas such as around the contours of the nose and chin.
Skin safety:
Dermaplaning at home carries a high risk of razor burn, accidental cuts and skin irritation, even though the blades are already less sharp than professional ones. Blunter blades means less efficacy while self-dermaplaning involves risk of injuries and lasting scars.
Professional dermaplaning is performed under well-trained, experienced, sterile, and controlled conditions to execute the technique safely and effectively. This leaves you with noticeably soft and dewy skin free of injuries and irritation.
Does Hair Grow Back Thicker After Dermaplaning?
A common myth about dermaplaning is that it makes hair grow back thicker or darker. This is not true. Dermaplaning only removes vellus hairs, which grow back in their natural color and texture. The procedure does not affect hair follicles or stimulate thicker growth.
Is Dermaplaning Just Shaving?
While dermaplaning may sound similar to shaving, it is far more precise and beneficial. Shaving only cuts hair, whereas dermaplaning also exfoliates dead skin cells, revealing a brighter complexion. The sterile blade used in dermaplaning is expertly controlled to ensure both safety and effectiveness, offering benefits that shaving cannot provide.
What Are the Downsides to Dermaplaning?
Although dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, it is not recommended for individuals with widespread, active acne, rosacea, or highly sensitive skin. In such cases, alternative treatments such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion may be more suitable.
Some people may experience slight redness immediately after the treatment, but this is quite normal as a fresh layer of skin emerges and the redness typically resolves within a few hours. As with any professional skin care treatment, choosing an experienced skin technician and a reputable medi spa with strict sanitation is key to avoiding irritation or discomfort.
Why Is Dermaplaning So Popular in Winnipeg?
The rise in popularity of dermaplaning facials in Winnipeg can be attributed to several factors:
- The “No-Makeup” Look: Many people now prioritize natural, clear, healthy-looking skin over heavy foundation. Dermaplaning creates an immediately glowing canvas that will absorb your skincare products more effectively. This is perfect for achieving a healthy radiance.
- Year-Round Benefits: Winnipeg’s harsh winters and sunny summers can leave skin looking dull. Dermaplaning helps combat these effects, leaving skin smooth and radiant.
- Customizable Options: We offer dermaplaning as a standalone service or as an add-on to monthly facials, making it versatile for various skin goals.
How Often Should You Get a Dermaplaning Facial?
The ideal frequency for dermaplaning depends on your skin goals. Many people schedule treatments every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain a smooth, radiant complexion.
How Dermaplaning Affects Your Daily Skincare Routine
Monthly dermaplaning treatments significantly enhance the effectiveness of your daily skincare routine by improving product absorption. By removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz, dermaplaning creates a smoother surface, allowing serums, moisturizers, and active ingredients to penetrate deeply into the skin.
This ensures that you get the maximum benefits from your skincare products, making them work more effectively to hydrate, nourish, and rejuvenate your complexion. Over time, incorporating dermaplaning into your monthly routine helps maintain a radiant, even skin tone, supporting your overall skin health and amplifying the results of your daily efforts.
