Dermaplaning Edinburg & McAllen, TX
Renew Your Skin With Dermaplaning
Does your skin need a little pick-me-up? By now, you may have heard of dermaplaning in Edinburg and the McAllen area, the popular new treatment that uses a small scalpel to gently exfoliate the skin, revealing a radiant, fresh appearance. Dermaplaning can treat many skin concerns, from aging to acne and beyond. Here at the Rios Center MedSpa, we love dermaplaning as a standalone treatment or an add-on to other treatments—and we think you will, too.
Candidacy: Is Dermaplaning Right for You?
Dermaplaning in Edinburg and the McAllen area is an effective exfoliation procedure suitable for most skin types. Ideal candidates are those with generally healthy skin, free from active acne breakouts or skin infections in the treatment area. It is particularly beneficial for individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and enhance product absorption. Dermaplaning is safe for various skin tones and can be customized to address specific skin concerns. However, individuals with sensitive skin or active inflammatory skin conditions may want to consult a skin care professional to determine their suitability for the procedure. A personalized consultation with an experienced provider can assess candidacy, address concerns, and tailor the treatment to individual needs.

How often should I schedule dermaplaning?
Most clients maintain their glow by booking every 4–6 weeks. This cadence aligns with your skin’s natural cell-turnover cycle and pairs well with monthly skincare plans.
Will the hair grow back thicker or darker after dermaplaning?
No. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (“peach fuzz”), which grows back at the same rate, color, and texture. The regrowth may feel a bit blunt at first, but it does not become thicker.
Anything I should avoid before and after my treatment?
Before: pause retinoids and strong exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) for ~3–5 days and avoid waxing/laser on the area for a week. After: skip heavy sweating, hot yoga/saunas, and active exfoliants for 24–48 hours; moisturize and wear broad-spectrum SPF daily.
How long do results last?
You’ll see and feel smoother skin immediately, with that “makeup-glides-on” finish typically lasting 1–2 weeks. Consistent home care and regular sessions help extend and compound your results.
