At Clarity Acne & Aesthetics, we offer dermaplaning, a precision exfoliation treatment designed to instantly reveal smoother, brighter, more radiant skin — without downtime. More than just a “beauty trend,” dermaplaning at Clarity is performed by trained medical professionals who understand skin health from a dermatological perspective, ensuring that every treatment is safe, effective, and customized to your skin’s needs.
Led by Deborah Quinn, DNP, a board-certified dermatology nurse practitioner with over 18 years of experience, Clarity focuses on science-backed treatments that refine and renew skin in a natural, scientific based manner. Whether preparing for an event or seeking regular skin maintenance, dermaplaning at Clarity offers a luxurious, clinical-grade glow you can trust. Dermaplaning is best combined with other treatments.
Dermaplaning is the gentle mechanical exfoliation of the outer layer of the skin’s epidermal layer. This skin treatment gently removes the dull, dead outer layer of the skin, removes soft vellus facial hair, and provides a brighter and smoother complexion. Dermaplaning is best in combination with a facial or chemical peel.
Unlike harsh scrubs or at-home exfoliators, dermaplaning offers precise, controlled exfoliation without irritation or chemicals — making it ideal for sensitive skin and a perfect add-on to many advanced treatments. Performed by our highly trained medical team, dermaplaning at Clarity is customized to your skin type and concerns, ensuring flawless, glowing results every time.

Dermaplaning offers instant and cumulative benefits, making it a go-to treatment for both special occasions and regular maintenance. Benefits include:
Dermaplaning removes dull surface buildup, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. It enhances skincare absorption, allowing medical-grade products to penetrate more effectively. Makeup applies flawlessly over freshly exfoliated skin, giving a smoother, airbrushed finish. By eliminating peach fuzz and debris, dermaplaning creates a refined, youthful glow without chemicals or downtime.
Regular dermaplaning can also improve skin texture over time and reduce the appearance of fine lines and minor scarring, making it an excellent complement to treatments like DiamondGlow®, microneedling, and chemical peels.
Dermaplaning is safe for almost all skin types and tones, including sensitive and mature skin. You may be an ideal candidate if you:

Most patients resume normal activities immediately, making dermaplaning a perfect same-day glow-up treatment.
Patients love the instant smoothness and glow that dermaplaning provides. Skin appears brighter, softer, and more even, and makeup glides on beautifully. Results typically last 3–4 weeks, and regular treatments every 4–6 weeks help maintain smooth, healthy, and radiant skin. For enhanced outcomes, many patients choose to combine dermaplaning with other treatments such as DiamondGlow®, Clear + Brilliant, or light chemical peels.
