What changes your price
- Who does it. A dermatologist or a very experienced esthetician charges more than a salon cosmetologist.
- The type of place. Prettylyst says med spas and dermatology offices cost more than day spas.
- Your city. Big city and coastal prices run higher than rural ones.
- Extra treatments. Thervo says a HydraFacial adds $150 to $350, and a peel adds to the price too.
- How many visits. Thervo says regular clients may get a discount or a membership.
- A consultation fee. Some dermatologists and spas charge for it, and some include it.
Who should do it
TheBeautyFoodie explains that dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair, often called peach fuzz, with a sterile surgical blade. A licensed esthetician or a dermatologist holds the blade at a 45 degree angle.
Prettylyst says licensed cosmetologists at day spas or salons are often the cheapest choice, at $75 to $125. Their scope may be more limited, and they usually cannot treat medical skin concerns the way a dermatologist can. If you go to a dermatologist, Thervo says to check that they are board certified.
Thervo also says dermaplaning does not make hair grow back thicker. It cuts the hair at the surface, like shaving. Thervo adds that at home tools are not the same quality as professional ones.
