Dermaplaning in Waterloo & Kitchener

Reveal Smooth, Radiant Skin Instantly

Experience a fresh, glowing complexion with dermaplaning at Sunshine Cosmetic Clinic and Medi Spa. This gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment uses a sterile blade to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath.

Dermaplaning enhances the absorption of skincare products, creates a flawless canvas for makeup, and promotes a more even skin tone and texture. It also supports healthy cell turnover, helping to reduce the appearance of dullness, fine lines, and congestion—leaving your skin visibly softer, more radiant, and refreshed.

Perfect as a standalone glow-up or as an add-on to other treatments, dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and requires no downtime.

Book your dermaplaning appointment today and unveil your smoothest skin yet.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical-grade blade to carefully remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly known as “peach fuzz”) from the surface of the skin. This process instantly leaves the complexion smoother, brighter, and more radiant.

Dermaplaning is also an excellent way to enhance the effectiveness of other treatments, such as facials by allowing skincare products to penetrate more deeply and evenly. With no downtime and immediate visible results, it’s a safe and effective option for achieving a refreshed, glowing complexion.

When should I get Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning can be enjoyed on its own for instant smoothness and glow, or added to other treatments to enhance product absorption and results. It’s ideal before facial treatments or special events when you want your skin to look its most radiant.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Dermaplaning?

  • are pregnant or nursing
  • have a history of skin conditions and scarring at the area(s) to be treated
  • need to stay on blood-thinning medication at all times

FAQ's

In general, dermaplaning is safe if done by a qualified technician with proper equipment. With healthy skin, free from skin conditions such as moderate to severe acne, exzema, etc. dermaplaning is safe and comfortable. 

No. Dermaplaning is a comfortable procedure. 
No, there is no downtime for dermaplaning treatments. You can resume normal daily activities immediately following the procedure. Please refrain from using strong active ingredeants or other exfoliants on the area for 3-5 days post treatment as the skin may be more sensitive to these.

Pre-care and post-care instructions are essential for ensuring the best results for laser hair removal treatments while minimizing potential side effects.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

  • Avoid Exfoliating Products: Do not use exfoliating scrubs, retinol, AHA/BHA acids, or prescription-strength acne products (such as Retin-A or Differin) for 3–5 days before your appointment.

  • Pause Hair Removal: Avoid waxing, sugaring, or using depilatory creams on the face for at least 5–7 days prior to treatment.

  • Limit Sun Exposure: Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning beds for at least one week before your appointment. Sunburned or irritated skin cannot be treated.

  • Keep Skin Clean: Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup, lotion, sunscreen, or other products.

  • Discontinue Facial Treatments: Refrain from chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser resurfacing on the area for at least two weeks prior to your appointment.

  • Inform Your Provider: Let your skincare professional know about any recent procedures, active acne, open wounds, or skin sensitivities.

  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water and keep your skin hydrated in the days leading up to your treatment to support optimal results.


Post-Treatment Instructions

  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Your skin will be more sensitive after exfoliation. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily and avoid direct sun exposure for at least 72 hours.

  • Skip Makeup for 24 Hours: Allow your skin to breathe and recover by avoiding makeup and heavy products for the first day after treatment.

  • Avoid Exfoliation: Do not use scrubs, retinol, or exfoliating acids for 5–7 days following your treatment.

  • No Heat or Steam: Avoid saunas, hot tubs, or hot showers for 24–48 hours, as heat can increase redness or irritation.

  • Moisturize Gently: Use a hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizer to soothe and protect your freshly exfoliated skin.

  • Avoid Picking or Touching: Refrain from touching or scratching your face to prevent irritation or breakouts.

  • Use Gentle Products: Stick to mild cleansers and hydrating serums for 3-5 days after treatment.

  • Schedule Regular Treatments: For best results, dermaplaning can be done every 4–6 weeks to maintain smooth, radiant skin.

WHAT OURCLIENTS ARE SAYING

The staff here are some of the kindest people I've met. I felt welcome the first day I walked in. Raquel did my laser and was very patient and ensured I knew and understood everything about the treatment. They're also one of the only service that bothered to invest in the Cutera laser machine which is imperative for Type IV skin - other places use the wrong machine and can burn you! I'm so glad I found this service and I know I'll be back for more!

Review from Adaboa Biney-Assan | Source: Google

I am very satisfied with the two sessions I had so far. I started seeing excellent results just after my first session. Three fourth of my facial hair reduced after the first session. Raquel and Cassie, who did my treatment were amazing. Rest of the staffs are also very pleasant and friendly. The equipment they use is really top notch. They explains every details regarding the treatment very well and answers all our concerns and queries. The packages they offer is very affordable when compared to other cosmetic centers and the results are way better. I would recommend this place to anyone who want to do laser hair removal.
