Dermaplaning at The Fifth Om: A Holistic Ritual for Radiant Skin
/
Dermaplaning is one of our most-loved advanced enhancements, not simply because of the immediate glow it creates, but because it supports healthy skin in a gentle, effective way.
Included as part of our Elevated Facial, dermaplaning pairs beautifully with our holistic approach to skincare, revealing brighter, smoother skin while enhancing the benefits of the botanically active products that follow.
We see dermaplaning as an invitation to begin again. By gently removing what no longer serves your skin, we create space for a healthier, more radiant complexion to emerge. As an added benefit, skincare products absorb more effectively and makeup often applies more smoothly afterward.
A Gentle Approach to Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is often described simply as a form of exfoliation. We see it as something more—a gentle unveiling of your skin's freshest, healthiest layer.
Using a sterile surgical scalpel, your esthetician carefully glides across the surface of the skin to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly known as peach fuzz). The treatment leaves skin feeling exceptionally smooth, looking noticeably brighter, and better able to absorb the customized skincare products applied throughout your facial.
Rather than relying on aggressive exfoliation, we work with your skin, never against it, creating an experience that feels both effective and deeply restorative.
The Elevated Facial Experience
Dermaplaning is included in our Elevated Facial, where it becomes part of a thoughtfully layered treatment designed to support both skin health and relaxation.
Your experience may include:
Double cleansing
Gentle exfoliation
Dermaplaning
Extractions, when appropriate
Relaxing facial massage
A hydrating botanical mask
Customized serums selected for your skin
Our signature Tenfold Golden Glow Face Cream
SPF protection before you leave
Throughout your treatment, your esthetician incorporates aromatherapy, plant-based skincare, and intentional touch to create an experience that nurtures both your complexion and your nervous system.
Many guests choose dermaplaning every three to four weeks, although your esthetician will recommend a schedule based on your skin, lifestyle, and goals.
Why Guests Choose Dermaplaning
Every dermaplaning treatment at The Fifth Om is customized to your skin, the season, and what your complexion needs that day. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all protocol, we adjust each facial to support healthy, balanced skin over time.
We finish every Elevated Facial with our signature Tenfold Golden Glow Face Cream, a whipped botanical moisturizer created to nourish and support healthy, radiant skin.
We pair dermaplaning with clean, botanical skincare selected to strengthen the skin barrier while delivering visible, lasting results. Our goal isn't simply smoother skin today, it's healthier skin with every visit.
Most importantly, we believe healthy skin and a regulated nervous system belong together. That's why every facial is designed to leave you feeling just as restored as your complexion looks.
A Ritual of Renewal
Dermaplaning isn't simply about removing dead skin cells. It's about creating space for healthy skin to emerge—and giving yourself permission to slow down long enough to receive thoughtful care.
When you arrive at The Fifth Om, you're welcomed with gentle aromatherapy, calming music, and a warm greeting from your esthetician. Every detail, from the warmth of the towels to the aftercare guidance you take home, is thoughtfully considered.
If your skin feels dull, textured, or simply ready for a fresh start, we'd love to welcome you in. Dermaplaning is included with our Elevated Facial, creating a restorative experience that leaves your skin smoother, brighter, and ready to receive everything that follows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does dermaplaning make hair grow back thicker?
No. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair (aka peach fuzz) at the skin's surface, but it doesn't change the structure, color, or growth pattern of the hair. As it grows back, it will feel and appear the same as it did before treatment.
Who is a good candidate for dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a wonderful option for many skin types, especially if you're experiencing dullness, uneven texture, or dry, flaky skin. It's also a favorite before weddings, vacations, or special events because it leaves skin exceptionally smooth and radiant.
Your esthetician will always evaluate your skin and recommend whether dermaplaning is the right choice for you that day.
Are there times when dermaplaning isn't recommended?
Yes. Dermaplaning may not be appropriate if you have:
Active acne or inflamed breakouts
An active cold sore
Open wounds or irritated skin
A recent sunburn
Certain skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis in the treatment area
Recently used prescription-strength retinoids or other products that have left your skin unusually sensitized
If you're unsure, don't worry. We'll assess your skin during your consultation and recommend the treatment that's best for you.
How often should I have dermaplaning?
Most guests enjoy dermaplaning every three to four weeks, allowing time for the skin's natural renewal cycle. Your esthetician may recommend a different schedule based on your skin goals and seasonal needs.
Is there any downtime?
One of the benefits of dermaplaning is that there is little to no downtime. Your skin may appear slightly pink immediately after treatment, but this typically fades quickly. We recommend wearing SPF daily and following the personalized home-care advice provided by your esthetician.
Why is dermaplaning part of the Elevated Facial rather than offered as a standalone service?
Because we believe healthy skin responds best when treatments are part of a thoughtful, whole-skin approach. Rather than simply exfoliating, we prepare, nourish, and replenish the skin before and after dermaplaning using botanical skincare, intentional touch, and customized care. The result is an experience that supports both visible skin health and overall well-being.
