How the treatment works
Manual dermaplaning is a hands-on exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the skin's surface. By taking away this outer layer, the skin looks smoother and brighter and topical products can reach the skin more easily. Clients often notice these surface changes immediately after the service at our Elmhurst location.
Because the treatment is manual, the result depends on skin texture and sensitivity as well as the technician's technique. At Perma Glow Shanna we adapt pressure and approach to each client's needs. Local clients who commute through Queens Boulevard or use the 74th Street transit hub value this predictable, single-session way to refresh skin without invasive procedures.
During your appointment
A Dermaplaning visit at our Elmhurst clinic is scheduled for 45 MINUTES. Within that time we assess your skin, perform the manual exfoliation, and complete a short finishing step to reveal a refreshed surface. Because many clients balance commuter schedules and evening plans, we keep appointments punctual so you can return to work or errands near Queens Center Mall.
Most people experience immediate smoothness and an enhanced canvas for makeup; some have short-lived redness that fades quickly. Dermaplaning boosts product absorption, so serums and moisturizers applied after the visit tend to penetrate more readily. If you have recent treatments or specific skin concerns, tell us when booking so we can adjust the session for your comfort.
Who benefits and limitations
Dermaplaning suits clients looking to remove surface dead skin and peach fuzz for a smoother appearance, particularly before makeup application or social events. Elmhurst's seasonal climate — humid summers and cold winters — influences how skin responds to exfoliation, so we consider seasonal needs when recommending treatment timing and follow-up care.
This treatment improves surface texture and product uptake but is one component of a broader skincare plan. Results vary by individual and cannot be guaranteed. During booking we discuss your goals, sensitivities, and any recent procedures so you can decide whether dermaplaning fits your routine and timing around work or weekend plans.
