If your skincare routine isn’t giving you that smooth, makeup-melts-right-in kind of glow, you’re missing a major step: exfoliation. And not the gritty scrub kind.

We’re talking about dermaplaning, a no-downtime, no-guesswork treatment that Milwaukee women rely on for soft, glowing, filter-free skin.

Imagine this: you’re getting ready for work, swiping on your foundation, and all you can see is peach fuzz and flaky patches. Sound familiar? Dermaplaning solves that in under an hour.

It’s quick, painless, and gives you instantly smoother skin with zero recovery time. And if you're not sure when or how to start, a consultation at Urbaine Oasis Spa Boutique will give you a customized plan built just for your skin.

Dermaplaning Milwaukee: What Is It and Why Do Women Love It?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (aka peach fuzz) using a sterile, scalpel-like dermaplaning razor with a sterile surgical blade for safety and precision. It’s performed by a licensed esthetician, or licensed aesthetician, and certified professionals using light, precise strokes.

Think of it as a reset for your face with no downtime and no irritation.

Why it works:

It removes the surface layer of debris and hair, which helps light reflect off your skin for that glow.
It allows your serums and moisturizers to penetrate deeper.
It creates the perfect canvas for makeup.

At Urbaine Oasis Spa Boutique, we use the gold standard in dermaplaning techniques and all services are provided by a certified DermaplanePro trainer. That means you're getting expert-level precision, sterile tools, and consistent, glowing results every time.

Yes, you can find at-home dermaplaning tools. But professional treatments offer:

Cleaner, safer technique
Smoother and longer-lasting results
Zero risk of nicks, irritation, or over-exfoliation

How Often Should You Dermaplane?

At Urbaine Oasis Spa, most clients dermaplane every 4 to 6 weeks, and most skin types can benefit from this schedule. That gives your skin time to go through its full cell turnover cycle before the next exfoliation.

Your treatment schedule is always built around your skin’s rhythm, needs, and goals. The plan is tailored to address different skin concerns and aesthetic goals for patients.

A few things to consider:

Sensitive skin: Stick closer to 6 weeks to avoid irritation.
Acne-prone skin: Great for post-acne texture, but skip it during active breakouts.
Hyperpigmentation: Consistent dermaplaning helps with brightness and product absorption.
Frequent makeup wearers: You may benefit from a more frequent schedule to keep your base smooth.
Recent weather changes: Fluctuations in weather can make skin more sensitive, so consider recent weather changes when planning your treatment.
Direct sunlight: Avoid direct sunlight before and after dermaplaning to protect your skin and reduce the risk of irritation.

Pro Tip: Overdoing it can lead to redness, breakouts, or a weakened skin barrier. Give your skin time to recover between sessions.

At Urbaine Oasis Spa, every plan is tailored. No one-size-fits-all schedules. Your treatment schedule is always built around your skin’s rhythm, needs, and goals.

When to Skip Dermaplaning

Some skin types need more caution. You should avoid dermaplaning or space it further out if:

You have active breakouts or cystic acne
Your skin barrier is compromised
You’re using prescription-strength retinoids
You’re not sure what your skin actually needs
You have certain skin growths or lesions that need to be evaluated by a professional

When in doubt, let us take a look. A consult can save your skin and your money. Depending on your skin's needs, other procedures or treatments may be recommended.

Dermaplaning for Different Skin Types

One of the biggest benefits of dermaplaning is its versatility, it’s a treatment that can be customized for almost every skin type and a wide range of skin concerns. Whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin, dermaplaning offers gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hairs, leaving your skin with a noticeably smoother surface.

For those with oily or combination skin, dermaplaning helps clear away the buildup of dead skin and excess oils that can clog pores, making your skin look fresher and more refined. If you have dry or dull skin, this procedure sweeps away flaky patches and rough texture, revealing a brighter, more radiant complexion underneath.

Sensitive skin types often worry about irritation, but dermaplaning is a non-invasive, chemical-free way to achieve smoother skin without harsh ingredients. The precise technique used by skincare professionals ensures that even delicate skin can benefit from the removal of unwanted facial hair and dead skin cells, all while minimizing the risk of redness or discomfort.

Mature skin can also see significant improvements, as dermaplaning softens the appearance of fine lines and helps skincare products penetrate more effectively. By removing the top layer of dead skin and fine facial hair, the treatment enhances your skin’s natural glow and supports a healthier, more youthful look.

No matter your skin type or concern, whether it’s unwanted facial hair, dullness, or rough texture, dermaplaning can be tailored to your unique needs. At Urbaine Oasis Spa, every dermaplaning procedure is personalized to help you achieve your smoothest, healthiest skin yet.

The Real Benefits of Dermaplaning

Here’s what you can expect after one well-timed, professional dermaplane facial: The dermaplaning treatment works by removing dead skin cells, dirt, and impurities from the skin’s surface, revealing radiant skin and a smoother texture. This process can also help reduce the appearance of acne scars and wrinkles, leaving your complexion looking refreshed and revitalized.

Smoother Skin, Instantly

Removes texture, peach fuzz, and fine facial hairs in one visit for effective hair removal and a smoother finish.

Better Product Absorption

No dead skin blocking your serums and moisturizers—clearing the skin's surface allows for better penetration of active ingredients.

Even Makeup Application

Foundation goes on smoother, wears longer, and looks more natural.

Softens Fine Lines and Scars

Blurs early signs of aging and post-acne marks.

It’s not a miracle fix. It won’t eliminate deep texture or replace a chemical peel. But as part of your glow-up strategy? It works.

And yes, those before-and-after photos you see? That post-treatment glow is the real deal.

Does Dermaplaning Hurt?

No. It feels more like a light scraping or brushing a clean credit card across your skin.

There’s no heat, no needles, and no harsh chemicals. Just clean, controlled precision.

Dermaplaning Aftercare Tips

Here’s how to keep your glow going post-facial:

Use SPF daily (your skin is more sun-sensitive)
Avoid heat, steam, and sweating for 48 hours
Skip exfoliating products (like scrubs or acids) for 5–7 days
Hydrate and protect your skin barrier
Maintain hydration by drinking plenty of water and using a moisturizer to support skin recovery and comfort

Not sure what to use? We’ll send you home with the right post-care for your skin type.

Can dermaplaning cause breakouts? Rarely. When it does, it’s often due to poor at-home tools, technique, or skipping aftercare. We follow protocols designed to avoid irritation and clogged pores.
