What Is Dermaplaning?
Reveal Smooth, Luminous Skin — Naturally
At Instinct Holistic Medical Spa in Bozeman, MT, we believe skin treatments should enhance your skin’s natural health and radiance without compromising its integrity. Dermaplaning is a gentle yet effective treatment designed to exfoliate the skin and remove fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), leaving the complexion smooth, soft, and instantly more luminous. By carefully removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning allows for better absorption of barrier-friendly skincare and creates the perfect canvas for a fresh, radiant glow.
Our Difference: Oil-Planing & Hydro-Planing
Unlike traditional dermaplaning, which often uses acetone to strip or “de-fat” the skin, our method prioritizes the health of your barrier. At Instinct, we perform oil-planing and hydro-planing techniques, which allow the blade to glide smoothly over the skin while preserving its natural lipid balance. This means you get the benefits of dermaplaning — smoother texture, instant radiance, and improved product penetration — while still protecting your skin’s long-term integrity.
What To Expect During Dermaplaning
-
Personalized Care: Each treatment begins with a thorough cleanse and skin assessment to ensure the procedure is suited to your unique skin needs.
-
Gentle Precision: Using a specialized medical blade and advanced planing techniques, our experienced aestheticians delicately resurface the skin. The process is painless, non-invasive, and safe for nearly all skin types.
-
Immediate Results: Your skin will feel softer and look more radiant immediately following treatment. While mild redness may occur, it subsides quickly, and some light flaking or peeling may appear as your skin naturally renews.
Aftercare & Holistic Skin Support
Because dermaplaning reveals fresh new skin, it’s important to protect and nourish it with the right regimen. Our team will guide you in selecting biocompatible skincare products that strengthen the skin barrier while maximizing your glow. Daily use of mineral sunscreen is highly recommended to protect your results, and we encourage avoiding prolonged sun exposure during the healing window.
