Dermaplane Facial Washington, D.C.

Q: How long do the results last?

The brightness and smoothness are visible immediately and typically last three to four weeks. Vellus hair regrows at the same rate it always did, generally within four weeks. Most clients book on a monthly cadence.

Q: How does dermaplaning compare to a chemical peel or microchanneling?

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation that removes dead cells and vellus hair with no recovery time. A chemical peel uses acids to dissolve the top layer. Microchanneling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen at the dermal level. Each has a different goal and they are often rotated.

Q: Can I book a dermaplane facial same-day in Washington, D.C.?

Same-day appointments are often available. Skin In The Game DC is at 1725 I St NW, Third Floor, one block from Farragut West Metro and walking distance from Dupont Circle, Foggy Bottom, West End, and the Golden Triangle. Online booking is real-time. The studio is open Wednesday through Monday, 10am to 8pm.

What's included

Every part of the 60-minute treatment.

Three steps. $225 from start to finish.

Surgical Blade Exfoliation

A sterile single-use 10-gauge blade is drawn at a 45-degree angle. Dead skin and vellus hair (peach fuzz) lift in one pass.

Hydrating Mask

A hydrating mask using TOMA Essential Skin Therapy formulas absorbs at maximum depth with no dead cell layer blocking it.

Finishing Seal and SPF

A nourishing moisturizer locks in hydration. SPF protects the new surface. You leave ready for makeup or skip it entirely.

Who this is for

If your makeup never sits the way you want, this is why.

Vellus hair and dead skin cells create texture that catches foundation and powder. Even expensive products pill on top of that buildup. Dermaplaning removes both in one sitting.

Clients across Dupont Circle, Georgetown, and Logan Circle book this before weddings, headshots, and high-profile workdays.

Book this if you want to:

✓Remove vellus hair so makeup applies smoothly
✓Brighten dull or congested skin in one session
✓Prep skin for an event, photo shoot, or wedding
✓Soften fine lines and shallow texture
✓Help serums and moisturizers absorb properly
✓Non-invasive, zero downtime

Does dermaplaning make hair grow back thicker or darker?+

No. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) grows back at the same texture and color it always was. The blade cuts at the surface only and does not affect the follicle or pigment. The myth comes from confusion with shaving thicker terminal hair, a different category.

Is dermaplaning safe for my skin type?+

Dermaplaning is safe across all Fitzpatrick skin types when performed by a licensed esthetician. It is not recommended for active cystic acne, open lesions, sunburn, or rosacea flares. A short intake confirms suitability.

How long do the results last?+

Brightness and smoothness are visible immediately and last three to four weeks. Vellus hair regrows at its normal rate. Most clients book monthly to maintain a smooth surface.

How does this compare to a chemical peel or microchanneling?+

Dermaplaning is physical exfoliation with no recovery time. A chemical peel uses acids to dissolve the top layer. Microchanneling creates micro-injuries to stimulate collagen at the dermal level. Each has a different goal.
