Dermaplaning is a year‑round skincare treatment in Edmonton. However, in our unique climate, the experience and aftercare can vary between summer and winter. Understanding how seasonal changes affect your skin can help you get the best results from your treatment.
Edmonton’s summers are known for long daylight hours and strong UV exposure—even on days that don’t feel overly hot. After dermaplaning, your skin is smoother but also more sensitive because the outer layer of dead skin has been removed. This makes it more vulnerable to the sun. Without proper protection, there is a higher risk of sunburn, irritation, or unwanted pigmentation. During summer, it’s important to be consistent with sunscreen, avoid prolonged direct sun exposure for a few days after your treatment, and consider wearing a hat or staying in shaded areas. Dermaplaning is still safe in the summer, but sun protection becomes a key part of your aftercare.
In the winter, Edmonton’s climate shifts to extremely cold and dry conditions, often combined with indoor heating that can further dehydrate the skin. Many people experience dryness, flaking, and dullness during these months. Dermaplaning can be especially helpful in winter because it removes the buildup of dead skin cells and allows moisturizers and serums to absorb more effectively. With less intense UV exposure compared to summer, there is also a reduced risk of sun-related irritation immediately after treatment.
Overall, the treatment itself does not change between seasons, but your skincare routine should. In summer, the focus should be on protecting your skin from UV exposure. During the winter, the focus shifts to restoring moisture and improving skin texture.
In simple terms, dermaplaning is a great option all year—you just need to adjust your aftercare to match Edmonton’s climate.
When we introduced the Dermaplane service to our skincare menu, many clients asked us, “Does Dermaplane cause stubble?” Immediately we understood the reference- we remembered the myth: Hair grows back thicker after you shave.
However, this is not the case, hair does not actually grow back thicker. It only feels this way because natural hair growth has a soft, tapered tip. On the other hand, shaving leaves a blunt tip as a result of shaving straight across.
More than a shave.
Like shaving, the part of the hair responsible for determining hair biology remains untouched in dermaplaning. Where shaving serves one purpose only- to remove hair, dermaplaning is a skincare treatment with bonus hair removal effects.
Dermaplane uses a scalpel to primarly brighten the complexion, even skin tone, and leave the skin feeling supple and renewed. Additional benefits of dermaplaning are smoother and hair-free skin. The results are seen immediately following the procedure.
Unique Skincare Benefits
Dermaplane may be recommended to clients with aging concerns, for example, dull skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. Because this skin treatment targets superficial skin, it is perfect for clients that want to see a subtle improvement in a single treatment.
Dermaplaning may be recommended to clients with superficial hyperpigmentation. This skin treatment promotes cell turnover by removing superficial pigmented cells carrying excess pigment through an exfoliation process.
This treatment is great for clients with dry skin because it improves product absorption by clearing away dead skin. Once the way is cleared thanks to the treatment, moisturizers and serums are able to nourish new skin cells.
How soon does the peach fuzz grow back after dermplane?

Dermaplaning is a skin treatment that offers many benefits. This treatment addresses a variety of skin concerns. This article reviews three different reasons why clients seek out this treatment, and how the treatment addresses each concern.
Antiaging
Dermaplane may be recommended to clients with aging concerns, for example, dull skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. Because this skin treatment targets superficial skin, it is perfect for clients that want to see a subtle improvement in a single treatment.
However, some skin concerns require advanced treatments to reach deeper levels of the skin, for example, chemical peels or photofacials.
How does dermaplane address anti-aging concerns?
The treatment exfoliates dull skin cells thereby removing the outer most layer of skin. In turn, this reveals brighter and fresher skin.
In addition, it improves skin texture and reduces fine lines and wrinkles by smoothing the skin surface and removing rough patches. This minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles leading to a more even complexion as it promotes cell turnover.
Finally, dermplane enhances product absorption as it removes dead skin and peach fuzz. This allows anti-aging products to penetrate deeper and more effectively.
Hyperpigmentation
Dermaplaning may be recommended to clients with superficial hyperpigmentation. This skin treatment promotes cell turnover by removing superficial pigmented cells carrying excess pigment through an exfoliation process.
How does dermaplane address hyperpigmentation?
Dermaplaning enhances product penetration by removing the barrier of dead skin, allowing products to penetrate deeper.
This deep exfoliation stimulates skin regeneration that brings new cells to the surface. As a result, there is improvement in skin texture and tone reducing the appearance of dark spots.
Dry Skin
This skin treatment may be recommended to clients with uncomfortable dry skin. Dermaplane exfoliates dry/dead skin cells. It removes the outer most layer of dull, dry, flaking skin.
How does dermaplane address dry skin?
This treatment is great for dry skin because it improves product absorption by clearing away dead skin. Once the way is cleared thanks to the treatment, moisturizers and serums are able to nourish new skin cells.
Dermaplane promotes cell turnover. This process encourages the skin to move healthier cells to the surface. Plus, it removes vellus hair (also known as peach fuzz). This hair can trap dirt and dead skin cells as well as dilute the amount of product that is absorbed by the skin. The removal of the vellus hair reveals brighter skin by shedding dull dry layers. It helps to uncover a more radiant and hydrated complexion.
