How the procedure works
Dermaplaning is a targeted exfoliation performed by a trained esthetician using light, controlled strokes across the skin to remove dead surface cells and fine vellus hair. Removing that outer layer reveals a smoother skin surface and creates an immediate brightening effect without invasive techniques.
At Essentials Spa of Lakeland dermaplaning is provided as a 60 MINUTES treatment priced at $100. Your esthetician begins with a brief consultation and cleansing, then performs the gentle exfoliation followed by calming serums. Expect minimal downtime; individual responses and improvements vary and are not guaranteed.
Results and realistic limits
Clients commonly notice an immediate brightening and a freshly smooth surface that allows topical products to penetrate more effectively. Many customer reports describe clearer-looking skin and a luminous glow after facials, outcomes that reflect surface change and improved product absorption rather than permanent structural alteration.
Dermaplaning is not appropriate for every concern; active inflammatory acne, open lesions, or recently irritated skin are reasons an esthetician may postpone the service. During your consultation we will assess current skin condition and recommend alternatives or timing adjustments to avoid aggravating active issues.
Aftercare and scheduling
After dermaplaning the skin surface absorbs serums and moisturizers more readily, so your esthetician will suggest a gentle routine and recommend regular sunscreen. In Lakeland’s humid summers and year-round outdoor lifestyle, protecting treated skin from sun exposure and harsh exfoliants helps maintain smooth results without unnecessary irritation.
We see peak demand in May, Jun, Nov and Dec when clients prepare for weddings, graduations, and holidays, so evening and weekend appointments fill quickly. Essentials Spa of Lakeland serves Lakeland and nearby communities; convenient access from Polk Parkway and US-98 makes after-work bookings easy.
