Is Dermaplaning Safe for All Skin Types?

Get the Glow You Deserve at Lux Aesthetics – The Original Lux in Indianapolis

If you’re wondering whether dermaplaning is safe for your skin, you’re in the right place. At Lux Aesthetics, we get this question often — and for good reason. Dermaplaning is a popular treatment across Indiana for its instant glow, smooth texture, and zero downtime… but is it right for you?

Let’s break it all down.


What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive facial treatment that uses a sterile, surgical blade to gently remove dead skin and peach fuzz. The result is brighter, smoother skin that absorbs your skincare more effectively and makes your makeup look flawless.

At Lux Aesthetics, every dermaplaning treatment is tailored specifically to your skin type and needs. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all skincare — your skin deserves more than that.


Is Dermaplaning Safe for Your Skin Type?

In most cases, yes! Dermaplaning is safe and effective for a wide range of skin types. Here’s how we customize it:

✅ Normal Skin

Great candidate — dermaplaning enhances your natural glow and smooths skin beautifully.

✅ Dry or Dehydrated Skin

Exfoliates flaking and dullness while allowing hydrating serums to penetrate deeply. Perfect for Indiana winters!

✅ Oily or Combination Skin

Removes buildup and smooths congestion, though we avoid areas with active breakouts to keep your skin healthy.

🟡 Sensitive Skin

With a gentle hand and the right post-treatment care (both of which we provide), even reactive skin can benefit.

🟡 Acne-Prone Skin

If breakouts are active or inflamed, we’ll hold off — but dermaplaning can help with post-acne texture and scars down the road.

✅ Mature Skin

Helps smooth fine lines and dullness with zero downtime, making it a client favorite for those in their 30s–60s+.


When Dermaplaning May Not Be Recommended

At Lux Aesthetics, your skin health comes first. We may delay or skip dermaplaning if you:

  • Have active, inflamed acne
  • Are recovering from a sunburn or peel
  • Have open wounds or severe rosacea
  • Are post-surgery and still healing

During your consultation, we’ll go over everything — and guide you toward the safest, most effective treatment for your skin.


What to Expect After Your Treatment

You’ll leave with:

  • Visibly brighter, smoother skin
  • Zero redness or downtime
  • Customized post-care to protect your results
  • Advice on when to come back for your next glow-up
