Seattle’s most trusted destination for advanced facials and skin refinement

There are exfoliation treatments—and then there is precision.

Dermaplaning is one of the most controlled, effective, and immediate ways to refine the skin—removing not only surface buildup, but also the fine vellus hair that can interfere with both texture and light reflection.

At PENELOPE and The Beauty Bar, dermaplaning is performed with a clinical level of precision, designed to improve skin function, enhance product absorption, and create an unmistakably smooth, luminous finish.

This is not aggressive resurfacing.
This is intelligent, targeted exfoliation.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove:

• Dead skin cells (corneocytes) from the outermost layer
• Fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”)
• Surface debris and buildup

The treatment is performed at a precise angle, allowing for controlled removal of the superficial layer without disrupting deeper skin structures.

---

The Science of Exfoliation

The outermost layer of the skin—the stratum corneum—is composed of dead keratinized cells that naturally shed over time.

However, due to factors such as:

• Aging
• Environmental stress
• Slower cellular turnover
• Product buildup

this process can become inefficient, leading to:

• Dullness
• Uneven texture
• Congestion
• Reduced product penetration

Dermaplaning accelerates this process through mechanical exfoliation, removing excess buildup and allowing the skin to function more efficiently.

---

Vellus Hair & Why It Matters

One of the most unique benefits of dermaplaning is the removal of vellus hair—the fine, soft hair that covers much of the face.

Unlike terminal hair, vellus hair:

• Is light in color
• Is not responsive to laser hair removal
• Can trap oil and debris on the skin

By removing this hair, dermaplaning:

• Creates a smoother surface
• Enhances light reflection (leading to visible glow)
• Improves the application of skincare and makeup

This is particularly important for clients with lighter or finer hair that cannot be effectively treated with laser.

---

Cellular Benefits of Dermaplaning

Enhances Cellular Turnover

By removing the outer layer of dead cells, the skin is prompted to renew more efficiently.

Improves Product Absorption

With the barrier of buildup removed, active ingredients can penetrate more effectively.

Stimulates Skin Function

The controlled exfoliation signals the skin to maintain healthy regeneration cycles.

Refines Texture

Irregularities are smoothed, creating a more uniform surface.

---

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Clients experience both immediate and progressive improvements:

• Instantly smoother, softer skin
• Increased radiance and luminosity
• More even texture and tone
• Improved efficacy of skincare products
• Flawless makeup application
• Reduction in the appearance of fine lines (due to surface smoothing)

The skin appears polished, clear, and visibly refined.

---

Who Is Dermaplaning For?

Dermaplaning is ideal for clients who:

• Have dull or uneven skin texture
• Experience buildup or congestion
• Have fine facial hair that cannot be treated with laser
• Want smoother makeup application
• Prefer a non-chemical exfoliation method
• Are looking for immediate visible results

---

Who Should Avoid Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning may not be suitable for:

• Active acne or inflamed breakouts
• Certain highly reactive skin conditions

At PENELOPE and The Beauty Bar, we assess each client individually to ensure the treatment is appropriate and beneficial.
