Dermaplaning in Virginia Beach

In Virginia Beach, Antidote Aesthetics providers use dermaplaning to gently exfoliate and improve the texture and tone of our patients’ skin. Our licensed master esthetician, Parisa Grainger, uses a specialized blade to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin.

This process immediately improves skin brightness, smoothness, and texture while enhancing your ability to absorb skincare products. It also helps reduce the appearance of mild acne scarring, uneven skin tone, and other superficial skin concerns.

Patients often choose dermaplaning as part of a consistent skin maintenance routine because it delivers a refined finish without downtime.

Dermaplaning supports a range of superficial skin concerns related to texture and tone. It helps reduce the appearance of acne scarring, improves skin brightness, and refines overall skin smoothness. The treatment also addresses dullness, dry or rough texture, and buildup of dead skin cells that can make the complexion appear uneven.

By removing peach fuzz, dermaplaning creates a more even surface, which allows skincare products and makeup to apply more smoothly and effectively. While it does not treat deeper skin conditions, it plays an important role in maintaining a healthy, luminous complexion when performed consistently.

Yes, you can combine dermaplaning with other treatments offered by Antidote Aesthetics. We often pair it with medical-grade skincare or in-office treatments to enhance product penetration and overall results. Because it removes dead skin cells and vellus hair, the skin absorbs active ingredients more effectively afterward.

Your appointment for dermaplaning in Virginia Beach at Antidote Aesthetics typically takes about 50 minutes from start to finish. This includes a skin evaluation, the treatment, and hearing detailed post care instructions to protect the health of your skin. The process is efficient, making it an ideal option for patients who want visible results without a significant time commitment or recovery window.

To prepare for your appointment for dermaplaning in Virginia Beach, Antidote Aesthetics’ master esthetician, Parisa, recommends keeping your skin as clear, calm, and protected as possible. In the week before your appointment, avoid sun exposure to reduce skin sensitivity.

Patients should arrive with a clean face. Avoid applying makeup, lotion, or active skincare products beforehand. Clean, product-free skin allows for a safer, smoother treatment process and minimizes your risk of irritation.

After dermaplaning, the skin may appear slightly pink, but typically feels smooth and refreshed immediately. Patients should avoid direct sun exposure and consistently apply SPF to protect newly exfoliated skin. Commit to daily SPF use after treatment to protect the newly exfoliated skin barrier and maintain optimal results.

We recommend using gentle skincare for the first 24 to 48 hours. It’s best to avoid active ingredients, like retinoids, acids, and exfoliants, to allow the skin barrier to settle. Most patients notice an immediate improvement in brightness, texture, and product absorption following treatment.

Parisa recommends scheduling a dermaplaning appointment every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on individual skin type and goals. This timing aligns with the skin’s natural renewal cycle and helps maintain consistently smooth, radiant results. Your provider will recommend a schedule based on your skin’s needs and overall treatment plan.
