Clear Away What Your Skin Doesn’t Need
Your skin works hard every day, and it’s constantly renewing itself, but sometimes it holds onto dead cells and surface debris longer than you would like. That buildup, along with fine peach fuzz, can leave your complexion looking dull, uneven, or rough. Plus, it can make makeup and skincare products harder to apply smoothly.
At Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics, we offer dermaplaning in Leawood, which gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin and fine hair with a specialized surgical-grade blade. This simple treatment removes buildup to create a smoother surface, brighten the complexion, improve product application, and support healthier-looking skin without chemicals or significant downtime.

Benefits of Dermaplaning at Regain
Simple Treatment, Noticeable Difference
Smoother Skin and Makeup Application
Dermaplaning removes buildup from the skin’s surface to help improve dullness, rough texture, and overall clarity. By clearing away dead skin cells, the treatment can reveal a smoother, healthier complexion underneath. That also creates a more even canvas for makeup application, enhancing everyday confidence.
Better Product Absorption
Dead skin buildup can create a barrier that makes it harder for serums, moisturizers, and other skincare products to penetrate the skin effectively. By clearing away that outer layer, dermaplaning helps improve the efficiency of your routine. At Regain, we also offer medical-grade product recommendations, so you can get a more intentional home routine designed around your skin type, concerns, and long-term complexion goals.
Personalized Skin Planning
We do not treat every complexion the same way. Before dermaplaning, our team evaluates your skin, concerns, treatment history, and overall goals. We may also use VISIA Photo Imaging to document your skin and track changes over time. Dermaplaning may also stack with facials or other skin treatments when appropriate to enhance results.
The Process at Regain
Each dermaplaning appointment gives your skin a simple refresh with minimal downtime. Using a surgical-grade blade, your provider gently removes dead surface cells and peach fuzz, smoothing away rough texture. Read more below to learn how dermaplaning in Leawood works and what changes to expect from your skin.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your provider begins each appointment by thoroughly cleansing your skin. Then, they precisely glide a surgical-grade steel blade across your skin at an angle, removing the outermost layer of dead skin along with vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz.
Dermaplaning may look simple, but safe treatment requires an experienced provider, precise technique, and properly cleaned and sterile tools. Because the blade moves directly against your skin, contaminated or poorly maintained tools can increase the risk of cuts, irritation, breakouts, infection, and scarring.
At Regain, we perform each treatment in a controlled clinical setting and follow strict sanitation practices. Our providers also use careful blade placement and gentle pressure to exfoliate effectively while protecting your skin.
After Your Treatment
Dermaplaning requires little-to-no downtime. Your skin may look slightly pink or feel more sensitive immediately afterward, but these effects typically fade quickly.
Because freshly exfoliated skin has more sensitivity to sunlight, daily sunscreen becomes even more important after treatment. We may also recommend choosing gentle moisturizers and temporarily avoiding harsh exfoliants.
Many patients schedule dermaplaning in Leawood every month to maintain smoother texture and reduce recurring buildup. Dermaplaning can also pair well with custom facials, laser resurfacing, RF microneedling, or medical-grade skincare when appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dermaplaning is generally a comfortable process. Your provider uses a specialized surgical-grade blade with light, controlled movements across the skin.
Most patients describe the treatment as a gentle scraping sensation. Because dermaplaning does not use heat, needles, or chemical acids, numbing is typically unnecessary.
No, dermaplaning removes vellus hair at the surface of the skin, but it does not change the structure of the hair follicle.
Your peach fuzz will gradually grow back with the same general texture and thickness it had before treatment. Dermaplaning does not cause facial hair to become darker, coarser, or more noticeable.
Dermaplaning may soften the appearance of some shallow or raised acne scars by smoothing uneven surface texture. It can also blend the edges of certain scars into the surrounding skin.
However, deeper acne scars usually require additional, more intensive treatments. Depending on your skin, our team may recommend RF microneedling, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or another treatment alongside dermaplaning to help remodel acne scars.
We generally avoid dermaplaning directly over active inflammatory acne, because moving a blade across active breakouts can irritate the skin and worsen the condition.
If you currently have acne, our team can evaluate your complexion and recommend another treatment first. Once we get breakouts under better control, we may discuss introducing dermaplaning as part of your longer-term skin plan.
Many patients schedule dermaplaning about once a month. This timing allows the skin to complete its natural renewal cycle before the next treatment.
Your ideal schedule for dermaplaning in Leawood depends on your skin type, sensitivity, goals, and other treatments you receive. We can adjust your plan over time based on how your skin responds.
Yes. Dermaplaning pairs well with many facial treatments, because it removes surface buildup before we apply serums and hydrating ingredients.
Your provider can recommend the right combination based on your skin. Pairing treatments can more effectively address texture, hydration, dullness, and other concerns during the same overall skin plan.
