Dermaplaning in Irvine, CA

Dermaplaning prices for Irvine clients

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

What Irvine skin needs

In hot, dry inland Irvine weather dead skin builds up faster and makeup starts to look cakey. Dermaplaning removes that layer and the fine facial hair that traps it, with no downtime.

Clients come from Woodbridge, Turtle Rock, Northwood, Quail Hill and the Great Park neighborhoods. Many are UC Irvine students, Spectrum and Irvine Business Complex professionals. The studio is in Irvine by John Wayne Airport. 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 Irvine

• 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.
