If you’re looking for smoother texture, deep hydration, and an instant glow, combining Hydrafacial and dermaplaning in the same treatment can be an excellent way to give your skin a complete refresh.


At Idan Med Spa, with locations in Encino, Los Angeles and San Francisco, we customize facial treatments based on your skin concerns and goals. Adding dermaplaning to a Hydrafacial can help remove surface buildup before the Hydrafacial steps begin, allowing the skin to look even smoother, brighter, and more refreshed.



What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment performed with a professional sterile blade. The esthetician carefully removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin along with fine facial hair, commonly called peach fuzz.

Removing this surface buildup can immediately leave the skin feeling softer and looking smoother.

Dermaplaning may help:

  • Remove dead surface skin cells

  • Improve the appearance of rough or uneven texture

  • Remove fine facial hair

  • Create smoother-looking skin

  • Help makeup apply more evenly

  • Enhance the overall glow of the complexion

Because dermaplaning does not involve harsh chemical exfoliation, it can be a great addition to many customized facial treatments when appropriate for the client's skin.


What Is a Hydrafacial?

A Hydrafacial is a multi-step facial treatment performed with specialized Hydrafacial technology designed to cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, and hydrate the skin.

Instead of relying only on traditional manual exfoliation, the Hydrafacial handpiece uses controlled vortex technology to help cleanse the pores while delivering hydrating and antioxidant-rich solutions to the skin.

Depending on the Hydrafacial treatment selected, the facial may include:

  • Deep cleansing

  • Exfoliation

  • Pore cleansing

  • Extractions

  • Hydration

  • Antioxidant infusion

  • Customized boosters

  • LED light therapy

  • Lymphatic drainage add-ons

At Idan Med Spa, your esthetician can customize the treatment according to your skin type and concerns.


Why Combine Hydrafacial and Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning and Hydrafacial work especially well together because the treatments target different layers of surface buildup.

Dermaplaning first removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair from the outermost surface of the skin. Hydrafacial can then provide deeper cleansing, extraction, hydration, and serum infusion.

The result is a facial that addresses both skin texture and hydration in one appointment.

Many clients choose a Hydrafacial with dermaplaning when preparing for a special occasion, photoshoot, wedding, vacation, or simply when they want their skin to look extra polished.


Benefits of Hydrafacial With Dermaplaning

Combining the treatments may provide several cosmetic benefits.

Smoother Skin Texture

Dermaplaning removes the layer of dead skin cells sitting on the surface, helping the skin immediately feel smoother.

Brighter-Looking Complexion

Surface buildup can make the complexion appear dull. Removing this buildup followed by Hydrafacial cleansing and hydration can help reveal fresher-looking skin.

Deep Hydration

After exfoliation and cleansing, Hydrafacial solutions help replenish hydration and leave the skin looking plumper and refreshed.

Cleaner-Looking Pores

Hydrafacial extraction technology can help remove debris and buildup from congested pores.

Better Makeup Application

Removing peach fuzz and dead skin creates a smoother surface, which is one reason this combination is popular before weddings, events, and professional photos.

Instant Glow

One of the biggest reasons clients love combining dermaplaning and Hydrafacial is the immediate refreshed appearance of the skin.


Which Treatment Comes First: Dermaplaning or Hydrafacial?

In most combination treatments, dermaplaning is performed before the Hydrafacial.

Removing dead skin cells and facial hair first creates a clean, smooth surface before proceeding with the Hydrafacial cleansing, extraction, and hydration steps.

However, every person's skin is different. Your Idan Med Spa esthetician will evaluate your skin immediately before your treatment and determine the best protocol.


Is There Downtime?

One of the benefits of both Hydrafacial and dermaplaning is that they typically involve little to no downtime.

Some clients may experience temporary pinkness or mild sensitivity after exfoliation, especially if their skin is naturally sensitive.

Because freshly exfoliated skin can be more sensitive to sunlight, it is especially important to use sunscreen and follow your esthetician's recommended aftercare.


Who Is a Good Candidate?

A Hydrafacial and dermaplaning combination may be a good option for clients concerned about:

  • Dull-looking skin

  • Dry or dehydrated skin

  • Rough skin texture

  • Fine facial hair

  • Congested pores

  • Uneven-looking texture

  • Preparing the skin before an event

Dermaplaning may not be appropriate for every skin condition, including certain cases of active or inflamed acne. Your esthetician can recommend whether dermaplaning should be included after evaluating your skin.


Hydrafacial and Dermaplaning Before an Event

If you have a wedding, birthday, vacation, red carpet event, photoshoot, or another important occasion coming up, Hydrafacial combined with dermaplaning can be a popular pre-event treatment.

Removing surface buildup helps create smoother-looking skin while Hydrafacial provides the hydration and fresh glow many clients want before an event.

For first-time clients, we recommend discussing the timing of your facial with your esthetician so the treatment can be planned appropriately for your skin.
