Why a Dermaplaning Facial Delivers Instant Glow and Smoother Makeup
By Vida Bel Beauty Spa by Adi | August 11, 2026
One thing we hear a lot, even from clients coming in for other services, is how much they love results that make mornings easier, like “completely transformed my morning routine.” A Dermaplaning Facial does the same for your makeup and skincare steps by removing peach fuzz and dead skin, so you leave with instantly smoother texture and a clean, fresh glow.
If you’re in Encino and you want a quick reset that shows right away, dermaplaning is one of our favorite “walk out and see it” facials. It’s especially popular with Ventura Boulevard commuters near Balboa and White Oak who want skin that looks smoother on camera, in daylight, and under makeup. And yes, we see plenty of clients coming in from Tarzana, Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, Reseda, Studio City, and North Hollywood for this exact reason.
What we do in our 60-minute Dermaplaning Facial (and why it feels so smooth)
Our Dermaplaning Facial is 60 minutes and it’s structured for results, not rushing. We start with a thorough cleanse, then we prep the skin with a light AHA peel to loosen up that dull surface layer. After that, we dermaplane using a sterile scalpel with controlled, gentle strokes to lift off dead skin cells and fine facial hair.
Next comes our ampule infusion, then a nourishing mask to calm and rehydrate. That last part matters in Encino, because our Mediterranean climate and hot, dry summers can leave skin looking tight or “flat” even if you drink water and use good products.
Quick clarity: Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation. It’s different from microdermabrasion (which uses a device and suction). If you’re sensitive to suction or you hate anything that feels “scratchy, ” dermaplaning often feels gentler, and the smoothness you see after is usually immediate.
Dermaplaning results you’ll actually notice: glow now, makeup sits better, skincare absorbs faster
We’re big on results you can point to in the mirror. After a dermaplaning facial, the most common “first look” changes are smoother texture and that clean brightness that makes your skin look more even, even before makeup. It lines up with what our facial clients tell us all the time, like “My skin feels unbelievable smooth, refreshed and glowing” and “my complexion looked brighter, hydrated, and rejuvenated.”
1) Makeup looks smoother right away
Peach fuzz and dry buildup can make foundation cling, separate, or look textured around the nose and mouth. When we remove that surface layer, makeup tends to apply more evenly and you usually need less product to get the finish you want. If you’ve got photos, meetings, or an event on the calendar, this is one of the fastest ways to look more polished without changing your makeup routine.
2) A more visible glow, even the next day
A lot of clients talk about glow that lasts beyond the treatment day. We’ve heard everything from “my skin glows for days” to friends noticing it after. Dermaplaning doesn’t bleach or brighten like a strong peel, but by clearing the dull layer, your skin reflects light better. That’s why it photographs so well.
“Adi pays so much attention to detail, my skin glows for days after a facial !!”

3) Better product absorption (and less “wasted skincare”)
After dermaplaning, serums and moisturizers tend to sink in better because we’ve removed that extra barrier of dead skin. That’s one reason we include an ampule infusion and a nourishing mask in the same appointment. Your skin is ready to drink it in.
How long do results last? Most people see their dermaplaning results right away, and the smoother feel and glow typically last 3 to 6 weeks, depending on your skin’s natural turnover and your home routine.
Is dermaplaning a good fit for your skin right now?
Dermaplaning is a great choice when your main goal is smoother texture, immediate brightness, and makeup that stops catching on dry patches. It’s also a smart option if you want a low-downtime facial and you don’t want heavy redness.
But we’ll be direct: we don’t dermaplane over active inflammatory acne, open lesions, or recently injured or irritated skin. If your skin is very reactive or rosacea-prone, let us know before we start so we can choose the right approach for that day.
Why Encino clients keep coming back to Vida Bel (and how to book the right timing)
Our team doesn’t do “assembly line” facials. People come to Vida Bel Beauty Spa by Adi because we’re thorough, detail-oriented, and we explain what we’re doing without making it feel clinical. Clients describe the experience as calming and stress-free, and they also talk about real, visible changes like leaving “refreshed, glowing, and confident.” That combination matters.

A simple booking tip
If you want that makeup-ready smoothness for a specific date, plan your Dermaplaning Facial 2 to 5 days before. You’ll still look bright right away, and it gives your skin a little breathing room.

Dermaplaning aftercare in Encino’s sun and dry heat
After dermaplaning, your skin is fresh and more exposed, so sun protection is not optional. Encino’s hot, dry summers can sneak up on you, even when it doesn’t feel like “beach weather.” We’ll point you to sunscreen that sits well under makeup, because that’s usually the sticking point.
- Keep it gentle for a couple of days. Skip harsh scrubs and anything that stings.
- Hydrate well. Your moisturizer and barrier-supporting products tend to feel extra good after.
- Avoid aggressive peels the same day. Let your skin enjoy the smoothness first.
