Dermaplane Glow Facial in Fort Myers

What Is the Dermaplane Glow Facial?

The Dermaplane Glow Facial at Elite Massage Therapy & Skin Care in Fort Myers is our most popular facial for clients who want immediately visible results. At $150 for 75 minutes, this treatment builds on everything included in our Elite Signature Facial and adds professional dermaplaning, a technique that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove the entire layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of your skin.

The result is instant. Your skin looks brighter, feels smoother, and has a natural glow that is visible the moment you leave our Fort Myers studio. But the benefits go far beyond aesthetics. By removing the barrier of dead cells and fine hair, dermaplaning allows every product applied during and after your facial to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively. Your serums, moisturizers, and treatment products deliver significantly better results on freshly dermaplaned skin.

Like every facial at Elite Massage Therapy & Skin Care, the Dermaplane Glow Facial is fully customized using Eminence Organic Skincare products selected specifically for your skin type and concerns. Combined with therapeutic massage, signature lymphatic drainage, and personalized home-care recommendations, this treatment delivers both immediate glow and long-term skin health improvements.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation technique performed by a trained esthetician using a sterile, single-use surgical blade held at a precise 45-degree angle to the skin. The blade is gently stroked across the surface of the face in short, controlled movements, removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with the fine vellus hair that covers most of the face.

Despite involving a blade, dermaplaning is not painful. Most clients at Elite Massage Therapy & Skin Care in Fort Myers describe the sensation as a light brushing or scraping feeling across the skin. There is no downtime, no redness for most skin types, and the results are immediately visible. Your skin looks brighter, feels dramatically smoother, and has a luminous quality that makeup and filters try to replicate but cannot match.

Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and is particularly beneficial for clients with dry or rough skin texture, dull or lackluster complexion, fine lines and early signs of aging, uneven skin tone, difficulty with product absorption, and a desire for smoother makeup application. Clients with active acne breakouts, highly inflamed skin, or certain skin conditions should discuss dermaplaning with their esthetician before booking to determine if it is appropriate for their current skin state.

What Is Included in the Dermaplane Glow Facial

Professional Skin Analysis

Your esthetician evaluates your skin's current condition, hydration levels, texture, tone, and specific concerns to customize every aspect of your treatment.

Deep Cleansing

Eminence Organics cleansers are selected for your skin type to thoroughly remove makeup, sunscreen, and environmental buildup, preparing your skin for dermaplaning.

Professional Dermaplaning

The signature component of this facial. Your esthetician uses a sterile surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the entire face, revealing fresh, smooth, radiant skin beneath. This step takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes and is performed with precision and care.

Customized Exfoliation

Following dermaplaning, a gentle Eminence exfoliant is applied to further refine the skin's texture and prepare it for maximum product absorption during the treatment steps that follow.

Extractions

Gentle extractions are performed as needed. Dermaplaning makes the skin particularly receptive to extractions, allowing congested pores to be cleared more easily and comfortably.

Therapeutic Face, Neck, Decollete, and Scalp Massage

Drawing on over 11 years of massage therapy expertise, your esthetician at Elite Massage Therapy & Skin Care in Fort Myers performs dedicated therapeutic massage to improve circulation, relieve tension, and enhance product absorption throughout the face, neck, chest, and scalp.

Signature Lymphatic Drainage

Gentle rhythmic techniques reduce puffiness, improve circulation, and support the skin's natural detoxification for a healthier, more luminous complexion.

Customized Mask

An Eminence Organics mask is selected based on your skin analysis to deliver targeted benefits, whether that is deep hydration, brightening, calming, or firming.

Serums, Moisturizer, and SPF

Your facial concludes with targeted serums, a customized moisturizer, and SPF protection. On freshly dermaplaned skin, these products absorb more completely and deliver noticeably better results.

Benefits of the Dermaplane Glow Facial

Instantly Smoother, Brighter Skin

The most immediate benefit of dermaplaning is the transformation in your skin's texture and radiance. Clients at Elite Massage Therapy & Skin Care in Fort Myers consistently describe their skin as feeling like silk after their session. The dull, rough layer is gone, replaced by fresh, luminous skin that catches the light beautifully.

Better Product Absorption

With the barrier of dead cells removed, every product applied during your facial and in your home routine absorbs more deeply and works more effectively. This means you get better value from your skincare products and see faster results from your routine.

Smoother Makeup Application

Foundation, concealer, and other makeup products glide on more evenly and look more natural on dermaplaned skin. Many clients in Fort Myers book their Dermaplane Glow Facial specifically before weddings, photoshoots, and special events for this flawless finish.

Reduced Appearance of Fine Lines

By removing the dead skin layer and stimulating cell turnover, dermaplaning helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and early wrinkles. Over time, regular dermaplaning sessions support a more youthful, refreshed appearance.

Even Skin Tone and Texture

Hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven texture all improve with regular dermaplaning. The exfoliation promotes cell turnover that helps fade discoloration and creates a more uniform complexion.

How Often Should You Get a Dermaplane Facial?

For optimal results, most clients at Elite Massage Therapy & Skin Care in Fort Myers schedule their Dermaplane Glow Facial every four to six weeks. This timeframe aligns with the skin's natural cell turnover cycle and allows the vellus hair to regrow to a length that can be effectively removed. Your esthetician will recommend the ideal frequency based on your skin's response and your specific goals.

A common concern about dermaplaning is whether the hair will grow back thicker or darker. It will not. Vellus hair is genetically different from terminal hair, and dermaplaning does not change the structure, color, or thickness of the hair follicle. The hair grows back exactly as it was before, fine, soft, and light.
