What the technique does
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation that removes the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair (peach fuzz) to expose a smoother surface. The physical removal reduces surface buildup, which often makes skin feel smoother and can change how light reflects off the skin, producing a fresher appearance without medical claims about outcomes.
A trained technician works by hand to gently lift and clear the outermost layer so serums and moisturizers can sit on a cleaner surface. Sessions at Perma Glow Shanna last 45 MINUTES, which includes consultation and immediate aftercare guidance so you know what to expect during and right after treatment.
When to schedule treatments
Local routines in Elmhurst make timing important: many clients who commute or work shifts prefer early-morning, late-evening, or weekend appointments. Our central Elmhurst location near 74th Street and Queens Boulevard and easy subway and bus connections make after-work visits and quick weekday bookings convenient for those balancing transit-oriented schedules.
Seasonal climate in the region — hot, humid summers and cold winters — influences how skin feels and what products you use. Dermaplaning can be scheduled around seasonal needs or special events to prepare the skin’s surface for makeup or for better absorption of targeted skincare, while recognizing individual skin responses vary.
Aftercare, maintenance, and trade-offs
After dermaplaning the skin’s surface is more exposed, so many clients notice immediate smoothness and that products apply differently. That increased receptivity means you should follow homecare advice from your technician and be mindful of sun protection while your skin settles. Perma Glow Shanna staff will review recommended post-treatment steps during your 45 MINUTES appointment.
A practical trade-off: peach fuzz is removed cosmetically but will grow back over time; dermaplaning is not a permanent hair removal method. Sessions cost $70, and maintenance frequency depends on individual skin, hair growth, and lifestyle. We will discuss realistic expectations and scheduling during your consultation at our Elmhurst clinic.
