Dermaplaning near Costa Mesa, CA

Dermaplaning prices for Costa Mesa clients

Prices from the studio's current menu. The skin consultation is free.

What Costa Mesa skin needs

Sun and salt air in Costa Mesa build up dry, rough skin on the surface. Dermaplaning takes that layer off in one visit, and serums and sunscreen absorb better afterwards. Always follow with SPF, since fresh skin is more sensitive to sun.

Clients come from the Eastside, Mesa Verde, College Park and the South Coast Plaza area. Many are students at OCC and Vanguard and South Coast Plaza professionals. The studio is about 12 minutes from Costa Mesa, across the 405 or the 55. Free parking on site, open every day from 8 AM to 9 PM.

How often and what to expect

Results are visible right away and last about 3 to 4 weeks. Most clients repeat every 4 weeks. Facial hair grows back the same, not thicker or darker. For hair you want gone for good, ask about electrolysis.

Who it is for

• Dull, rough skin and dry patches
• Peach fuzz that makes makeup look uneven
• Better absorption of serums and sunscreen
• Smooth skin before an event or photos
• Pregnant clients who want to avoid acids (with doctor's approval)

When to wait: Dermaplaning is not done over active acne breakouts, cold sores, sunburn or eczema flares, or within a week of using strong retinoids or having a peel.

How a visit goes

1. Skin check. Aida checks for breakouts and sensitivity and asks about retinoids.
2. Cleanse and dry. Skin is cleansed and fully dried so the blade glides evenly.
3. Dermaplaning. A sterile single-use blade is held at a low angle and moved in short, light strokes.
4. Soothe and protect. Calming serum, moisturizer and SPF. LED can be added for extra calm or glow.

How to choose a provider near Costa Mesa

• The blade must be sterile and single-use, opened in front of you.
• Only a licensed cosmetologist or esthetician should do it in California.
• A good provider will refuse to dermaplane over active acne.
• Ask how often they recommend it. More than every 3 weeks is too often.
• If you want facial hair gone for good, ask about electrolysis instead.

Getting to the studio from Costa Mesa

From Costa Mesa the drive is about 12 minutes, across the 405 or the 55. The studio is in the Irvine Business Complex near John Wayne Airport, at 18021 Sky Park Circle, Suite N, with free parking right outside. Rush hour on the 405 and 55 can add 10 to 15 minutes, so many Costa Mesa clients book early mornings, evenings until 9 PM or weekends.

Who does the treatment

Every appointment is with Aida Khazieva, a licensed California cosmetologist and electrologist with more than 20 years of practice. She received a U.S. green card in the EB-1A category for extraordinary ability in cosmetology and electrolysis and wrote the book "I Am an Electrologist".
