Dermaplane Facial in Langley, BC
Dermaplane Facials at Luxe Aesthetics Loft
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the face using a sterile precision blade, leaving the skin surface noticeably smoother, brighter, and more receptive to skincare products. At Luxe Aesthetics Loft in Willoughby, Langley, dermaplaning is available as a standalone facial or combined with a HydroJelly Mask and LED therapy. The Dermaplane + HydroJelly Mask + LED therapy package is $139 (regular $199). Dermaplaning is also included in the Signature HydraFacial at $165.
There is no downtime with dermaplaning. Most clients return to their normal routine immediately after the session. The treatment is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, and produces a visible improvement in skin quality and texture that most clients notice straight away.
For an event or photoshoot, dermaplaning in the days before delivers one of the most immediate and reliable pre-event results of any facial treatment. The smoother surface also allows serums and moisturisers to penetrate more effectively and makeup to sit more evenly on the skin. Pricing is available on consultation for additional add-on options.
What dermaplaning does and how it works
Dermaplaning uses a sterile, scalpel-grade blade held at a precise angle to the skin surface and moved in short, controlled strokes across the face. The technique removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells (the stratum corneum) alongside fine vellus hair that accumulates on the skin over time. This is a purely mechanical process: no acids, no heat, no suction, and no chemicals are involved.
Because it involves no active ingredients, dermaplaning is one of the most accessible facial exfoliation treatments across a wide range of skin types. Clients who cannot tolerate chemical peels due to sensitivity, active rosacea, or reactions to acid-based products often find dermaplaning a well-suited alternative for maintaining skin surface quality. It can also be performed during pregnancy, when many other treatments are not suitable.
Dermaplaning works well as a standalone treatment and also as a preparation step before other treatments. Having dermaplaning before a HydraFacial or a chemical peel creates a cleaner, more even surface for the subsequent treatment and can improve absorption and penetration. It is included as the first step of the Signature HydraFacial at Luxe for this reason.
What clients notice after dermaplaning
Dermaplaning produces immediate surface-level improvements that most clients can see and feel the same day. Over regular sessions, the cumulative benefit to skin texture and product absorption compounds:
-
Noticeably smoother skin surface immediately after the session as the layer of dead cells and vellus hair is removed
-
Improved skin tone and radiance: without the surface layer of dulling dead cells, the skin reflects light more evenly
-
Enhanced absorption of serums and moisturisers, which penetrate more effectively into freshly exfoliated skin
-
Smoother makeup application: foundation and skincare sit more evenly on a dermaplaned surface
-
No downtime: the treatment involves no chemicals, no heat, and no recovery period
-
Works well as a standalone treatment or as a preparatory step before a HydraFacial, chemical peel, or microneedling session
Dermaplaning is ideal for those looking for an immediate glow with minimal effort and pairs beautifully with our other skincare services.
What Happens at Your Dermaplane Appointment
Your dermaplane facial at Luxe takes 30 to 45 minutes for the standalone treatment. The session begins with a thorough double cleanse to remove any surface product, oil, or debris before the dermaplaning begins. A clean skin surface ensures the blade glides smoothly and the exfoliation is even across the treatment area.
01
During the treatment
The dermaplaning blade is held at a 45-degree angle and moved in short, feathering strokes across the skin. The sensation is a light, gentle scraping that most clients describe as relaxing once they settle into it. There is no pain, no numbing required, and no heat or chemicals involved at any point. Your provider works methodically across the forehead, cheeks, chin, and upper lip area. The session is genuinely comfortable for most clients.
02
After the Treatment:
Your skin will feel immediately soft and look visibly brighter when you see it in the mirror. Your provider applies a post-treatment hydrating serum and SPF before you leave. You can return to your normal routine straight away. If you have booked the Dermaplane + HydroJelly Mask + LED therapy package ($139), the mask and LED steps follow the dermaplaning and add around 20 additional minutes to your session. Most clients find the combination produces a noticeably more hydrated and soothed result than dermaplaning alone.
Post-treatment care for dermaplaned skin
Dermaplaning requires very little recovery, but following a simple aftercare routine can help maximize your glow and protect your skin’s barrier.
Post-treatment recommendations
-
Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser for 48 hours after your treatment. Avoid physical scrubs, active exfoliants, retinol, AHAs, and BHAs during this window
-
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50 the morning after your treatment and every morning for the following week. Freshly dermaplaned skin is more photosensitive, and unprotected sun exposure can cause redness or pigmentation
-
Avoid direct sun exposure, vigorous exercise, and saunas for 24 hours after your session
-
Keep the skin hydrated with fragrance-free, non-comedogenic serums and moisturisers for the first 48 hours
-
Wait 12 to 24 hours before applying makeup if possible. Mineral makeup is the gentler option if you need to apply something sooner
-
We carry a range of clinic-approved skincare products suitable for post-treatment recovery. Ask your provider for a recommendation based on your skin type at your appointment
For best results, our team may recommend Luxe-approved skincare products designed to calm, replenish, and protect freshly treated skin.
