Smooth, glowing skin is a common goal, yet dead skin cells, peach fuzz, and uneven texture often stand in the way. At Cedar Grove Aesthetics in Smyrna, TN, we offer dermaplaning as a safe and effective skin treatment that gently exfoliates and revitalizes your complexion. Our Medical Director, Dr. John Daniel Rudd, is a board-certified internist and a fellow of the American Society of Laser Medicine and Surgery, recognized for his expertise in aesthetic and anti-aging medicine.

With his leadership guiding our approach, the team delivers care with precision, professionalism, and a focus on natural-looking results. Dermaplaning is one of the many advanced treatments we provide to help patients achieve healthier, smoother skin while supporting long-term wellness.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation procedure performed with a sterile surgical blade. During treatment, the blade gently glides across the skin’s surface to remove layers of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz.Â
This process immediately reveals smoother, brighter skin and allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively. Many patients notice that their makeup applies more evenly and that their skin has a refreshed, youthful glow. Because it is gentle and requires no downtime, dermaplaning has become a popular choice for men and women seeking noticeable results without the risks or recovery associated with more invasive treatments.
The Benefits of Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning offers both cosmetic and functional benefits for a wide range of skin types. This skin treatment can:
- Brighten dull, tired-looking skin
- Minimize the appearance of fine lines and mild acne scars
- Improve product absorption and boost the effectiveness of skincare routines
- Create a smoother canvas for flawless makeup application
- Deliver immediate results with no discomfort or downtime
At Cedar Grove Aesthetics, dermaplaning is performed with precision and care, aligning with our holistic approach to skin health. The result is skin that not only looks better but feels healthier as well.
Is Dermaplaning Right for You?
Dermaplaning may be ideal for anyone who wants to improve skin texture and tone in a non-invasive way. It is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, and can be performed on both men and women. Those experiencing dry, rough patches or looking for a brighter complexion often see noticeable improvements. However, individuals with active acne or certain skin conditions may require alternative treatments.Â
At Cedar Grove Aesthetics, our skilled providers evaluate your skin during a consultation to determine whether dermaplaning, or a combination of treatments such as HydraFacial, chemical peels, or microneedling, will help you achieve your goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dermaplaning Painful?
Dermaplaning is considered a gentle, non-invasive treatment that most patients find very comfortable. The sensation is often compared to a light scraping or brushing across the skin.
Does Hair Grow Back Thicker After Dermaplaning?
The fine vellus hair removed during dermaplaning will grow back at its natural rate and texture. It does not become darker, coarser, or thicker after treatment.
Can Dermaplaning Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Yes. Dermaplaning pairs well with other aesthetic procedures such as chemical peels or HydraFacials, as removing dead skin cells enhances the effectiveness of complementary treatments.
