If you've been searching for dermaplaning in North York or Toronto, look no further. At Kattymooneyes, our dermaplaning facial treatment delivers an instantly glowing, baby-smooth complexion — no downtime required.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical scalpel blade to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair — commonly known as "peach fuzz" — from the face. Unlike harsh chemical exfoliants, dermaplaning works purely mechanically, making it safe for nearly all skin types, including sensitive skin.
The result? Skin that's immediately smoother, brighter, and more radiant. Makeup glides on flawlessly, skincare absorbs more deeply, and your complexion takes on a luminous, lit-from-within glow.

The Benefits of Dermaplaning
Instantly Brighter Complexion
Removing dead skin reveals the fresh, radiant layer underneath for an immediate glow.
Ultra-Smooth Skin Texture
Fine lines, rough patches, and uneven texture are visibly reduced after just one session.
Peach Fuzz Removal
Eliminates fine facial hair that can cause makeup to look cakey or patchy.
Enhanced Skincare Absorption
With the top layer removed, serums and moisturizers penetrate up to 70% more effectively.
Flawless Makeup Application
Foundation and concealer glide on smoothly for a filtered, airbrushed finish.
Zero Downtime
Unlike chemical peels or lasers, dermaplaning requires no recovery time whatsoever.
Safe for Sensitive Skin
No chemicals, no heat — suitable for rosacea-prone and reactive skin types.
Stimulates Cell Turnover
Encourages fresh skin cell production for a long-term improvement in skin health.
The Dermaplaning Process at Kattymooneyes
Skin Consultation & Assessment
We assess your skin type, current concerns, and determine if dermaplaning is right for you. Active acne, eczema, or sunburned skin may require a different approach.
Cleanse & Prep
Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and dried to ensure a clean, safe working surface.
Dermaplaning Treatment
Using a sterile, single-use surgical blade held at a precise 45-degree angle, we gently feather the blade across your skin in short, upward strokes — removing dead cells and vellus hair.
Soothing Mask or Serum
A calming, hydrating mask or vitamin-rich serum is applied to nourish freshly exfoliated skin.
SPF Application
Since freshly dermaplaned skin is temporarily more photosensitive, we finish with a broad-spectrum SPF.
Will My Hair Grow Back Thicker?
This is the most common dermaplaning myth — and it's completely false. Vellus facial hair has no follicle root, and removing it with a blade does not change its growth rate, colour, or texture. The hair grows back exactly the same — fine and light. This myth originates from shaving body hair, which has a completely different type of follicle.
Dermaplaning Aftercare
The 24–48 hours following your treatment are the most critical for maintaining your results and preventing sensitivity.
Apply SPF 30+ every morning for at least 2 weeks
Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer
Keep skin hydrated with a hyaluronic acid serum
Continue light exfoliation 1x per week after day 3
Sun exposure without SPF protection
Retinol, AHAs, BHAs for 5–7 days post-treatment
Picking or scratching at the skin
Heavy, pore-clogging makeup immediately after
How Often Should You Dermaplane?
We recommend dermaplaning every 4–6 weeks — aligned with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle. Regular sessions yield cumulative results: progressively smoother texture, more even tone, and long-term improvement in skin health and radiance.
Many clients pair dermaplaning with their lash or brow appointment at Kattymooneyes for a complete beauty refresh in a single visit. It's the ultimate effortless-glow combo.
Who Is Dermaplaning For?
Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types and concerns, including:
- • Dull, lacklustre skin needing a brightness boost
- • Dry or flaky skin that doesn't respond well to chemical exfoliants
- • Uneven skin texture, fine lines, or mild acne scarring
- • Anyone who wants their makeup to sit more flawlessly
- • Clients looking to enhance skincare absorption
- • Those wanting a safe, non-chemical alternative to peels
Not recommended for: Active acne or cystic breakouts, inflamed rosacea, sunburned skin, or anyone currently using isotretinoin (Accutane). Book a consultation with our esthetician and we'll guide you to the right treatment.
