How dermaplaning is performed
Dermaplaning at The Moon Beauty is a manual exfoliation technique performed with a surgical Stella blade. Your esthetician uses steady, controlled strokes to remove dead skin cells, surface debris, and the fine vellus hair sometimes called 'vellum hair.' The procedure is non-invasive and focused on the skin surface rather than deeper layers, creating a smooth texture without lasers or injections.
Because the technique is manual, the esthetician continuously evaluates skin condition and adjusts pressure and stroke direction. Dermaplaning is typically repeated monthly to maintain the smooth canvas it creates; frequency is chosen based on your skin’s turnover and your aesthetic goals, and your technician will recommend the best interval.
What happens during treatment
Your Signature facial with Dermaplaning appointment lasts 90 minutes and begins with a brief consultation so we can tailor the service to your skin. After cleansing, dermaplaning is performed and then followed by calming and hydrating steps selected for your skin. The approach combines precise manual exfoliation with a facial protocol designed to soothe and refresh the skin surface.
Many clients notice immediate smoothing and a brighter-looking complexion after a single session; reviewers often describe a healthy glow and improved makeup application. While individual results vary, the treatment is aimed at surface-level refinement—removing peach fuzz and dead cells to reveal fresher-looking skin and a softer texture.
Aftercare, timing, and frequency
We recommend scheduling dermaplaning around major events and busy seasons: May, June, November, and December are especially popular for weddings and holiday gatherings. The Moon Beauty’s location in the Walker Road area of Great Falls makes it convenient for commuters heading to Tysons or Washington, D.C., and for visitors seeking pre- or post-hike grooming around Great Falls Park or Riverbend Park.
Treatments are commonly repeated monthly to maintain a smooth surface and to support ongoing skin goals. Your esthetician will provide individualized aftercare advice at checkout and help you plan appointments—many clients prefer evening or weekend bookings to fit commuter and family schedules.
