Dermaplaning for Estheticians: Training, Contraindications & Best Practices

In this episode of The Skinstructors, Joely and Morgan take a deep dive into dermaplaning—one of the most misunderstood yet powerful treatments in the treatment room. They break down why dermaplaning is far more than "just shaving the face," exploring the anatomy, technique, contraindications, and precision required to deliver safe, consistent, and results-driven outcomes. From smoother texture and brighter tone to enhanced product penetration and stronger client retention, they explain why this service is both client-loved and business-smart. The conversation also highlights the importance of proper education, sharing real-world lessons and introducing their Dermaplaning Certification Foundations Training designed to help estheticians build true confidence and skill behind the blade. Takeaways: Dermaplaning is a technique-driven treatment that requires proper education, blade knowledge, and an understanding of skin anatomy to perform safely and effectively. When done correctly, dermaplaning enhances treatment results, improves product penetration, and delivers immediate visible outcomes clients love. Beyond clinical benefits, dermaplaning is a cost-effective, high-margin service that strengthens client loyalty and boosts overall business growth.
