We all want that “glass skin” look: smooth, radiant, and soft to the touch. But sometimes, no matter how many serums you apply, your skin still feels a little rough or looks dull. Often, the culprit isn’t your skincare routine; it’s a barrier of dead skin cells and fine “peach fuzz” that gets in the way of your natural glow.
If you are tired of makeup that looks cakey or skin that lacks luster, we have a simple, painless solution. At Rejuvenations Boutique Medspa, we offer Dermaplaning, a gentle exfoliation treatment that instantly reveals the fresh, healthy skin hiding just beneath the surface. It’s one of our favorite ways to help you love the reflection you see, offering instant gratification with zero downtime.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that is far more effective than your average face scrub. It uses a sterile, surgical-grade scalpel to gently “shave” the surface of your skin.
While it might sound intimidating, it is incredibly gentle. By holding the blade at a precise 45-degree angle, our trained providers carefully remove two things that dull your complexion:
- The Stratum Corneum: The outermost layer of dead skin cells that can make your face look gray or tired.
- Vellus Hair: The fine, soft “peach fuzz” that traps dirt and oil.
Unlike shaving at home with a drugstore razor, which simply cuts hair, professional dermaplaning is a skin resurfacing treatment that promotes healthy cell turnover.
What It Treats
Dermaplaning is a multitasker that addresses several concerns at once. It is an excellent choice for:
- Dullness: Instantly brightening the complexion by removing the “gray” layer of dead cells.
- Rough Texture: Smoothing the skin’s surface for a “baby soft” feel.
- Peach Fuzz: Removing unwanted facial hair that can trap makeup and oils.
- Product Absorption: Removing the barrier of dead skin allows your expensive serums and moisturizers to penetrate deeper and work better.
- Makeup Application: Creating a flawless, hair-free canvas so your foundation glides on smoothly rather than sitting on top of fuzz.
- Acne Scars: Softening the appearance of superficial acne scars over time.
The Experience & Results
This is often called a “lunchtime facial” because it is quick, painless, and effective.
- Comfort: Most clients find the sensation relaxing, comparing it to a gentle scratching or a cat’s tongue. There is absolutely no pain.
- The Process: After cleansing your skin, we gently glide the sterile blade across your face in controlled strokes. The entire treatment typically takes about 30–45 minutes.
- The Results: You will see an immediate difference. Your skin will look brighter and feel incredibly smooth right away. Because there is zero downtime, you can return to your day immediately, just be sure to wear sunscreen, as your fresh skin will be sensitive to the sun.
Don’t wait any longer to achieve the look you’ve always dreamed of and the confidence you deserve. Let us help you on your path to transformation.
Trusted Expertise, Close to Home
While dermaplaning may seem simple, it involves a sharp medical instrument, and your safety is our top priority. You should never trust your face to just anyone. Glenda Cunningham, APRN, and her team at Rejuvenations operate with strict medical protocols. We use individual, sterile blades for every single client, never reused, ensuring hospital-grade hygiene.
We believe in integrity and honesty. We won’t recommend dermaplaning if it isn’t right for you: for example, if you have active acne, which could be irritated by the blade. Instead, we might suggest a Chemical Peel or Celluma Light Therapy to heal your skin first. When you visit us in Nortonville, you are treated with the care and respect of a neighbor. We take the time to explain every step, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident in your care.

- The Event-Goer: If you have a wedding, reunion, or photo shoot coming up, this is the perfect prep treatment to ensure your makeup looks airbrushed.
- The Sensitive Skin Type: If you are sensitive to scrubs or acids, this physical exfoliation is a gentle alternative that doesn’t use harsh chemicals.
Common Questions About Dermaplaning
How much does Dermaplaning cost in Nortonville, KY?
Dermaplaning is an affordable luxury. It can be performed as a standalone treatment or added on to another facial for a bundled price. During your consultation, we will provide a clear price quote. We believe in transparency: no hidden fees, ever.
Will my hair grow back thicker or darker?
This is the most common myth we hear! The answer is no. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (peach fuzz), which does not change its structure or DNA. It will grow back at the exact same texture and speed as before. It may feel slightly different initially because it has a blunt tip from being cut, but it will not be darker or coarser.
Does it hurt?
Not at all. The procedure is entirely painless. You will feel a light touch and a scratching sensation, but no cuts or stinging. Many of our clients find it soothing enough to nap during the treatment.
Can I do this at home with a drugstore razor?
We strongly advise against it. Professional dermaplaning uses a specialized surgical blade held at a specific angle to exfoliate safely. “Shaving” at home often lacks the precision to remove dead skin cells effectively and carries a higher risk of nicks, infection, or ingrown hairs.
How often should I get it done?
Since your skin naturally turns over its cells about every 28 days, we recommend scheduling a dermaplaning treatment every 4 to 6 weeks. This keeps your skin glowing and maintains that smooth, hair-free texture.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Yes! Dermaplaning is the perfect “add-on.” By removing the barrier of dead skin first, we can make other treatments like Chemical Peels, DiamondGlow, or Microneedling even more effective because they can penetrate deeper into the skin.
Will I break out afterward?
It is rare, but possible to have a minor breakout as the skin purges, though dermaplaning generally helps prevent acne by removing the dead skin that clogs pores. We finish every treatment with appropriate skincare to soothe and protect your pores.
