Royalty Dermaplaning Facial in Athens, GA: Cost, Aftercare & How Long It Lasts
What Is the Royalty Dermaplaning Facial?
Okay, let's start with the basics. Dermaplaning is a soft, gentle facial. We use a small, clean blade. Your esthetician holds it flat. Then she glides it across your skin. Slow and easy. It lifts off dead skin. It also takes off that soft fuzzy hair. You know the kind. The little peach fuzz on your cheeks and your jaw.
Here is the part people don't expect. It does not hurt. Not even a little. Most folks say it feels like someone is brushing something soft on their face. Kind of like a makeup brush. Some of our clients even doze off. For real. We have heard a few little snores in the room. And we love that. It means you feel safe. It means you finally let go.
I still think about one lady who sat down with her shoulders up by her ears. She was so tense. You could see it. By the end, her shoulders had dropped way down. Her face looked soft again. She said, "Wow, I did not know it would feel this calm." That is the whole point of what we do.
So what makes the Royalty version special? It is the care we put around it. We don't just run a blade over your face and rush you out the door. That is not us. We slow down. We look at your skin first. We warmed up the room. We play soft music. We add a nice facial too. You get warm towels. You get a little massage. You leave feeling pampered, not rushed. Big difference.
Who is this facial perfect for? Honestly, a lot of the busy Athens folks we see every week:
.People who wear makeup and want it to sit smooth, not patchy
.Anyone with dull, rough, or tired-looking skin
.People getting ready for a big day, like a photo shoot, a wedding, or a job interview
.Busy moms, dads, and workers who want a big result in one quick visit
Here is what one of our estheticians likes to say:
"Every face is different. So I never treat two clients the same way. I will check your skin type first. Then I pick how soft to go and which products to use. That is what keeps it safe. And that is what gives you that healthy glow." — one of our lead estheticians

Let me tell you a quick story. A few weeks back, a client came in with a big work event that weekend. She had never tried dermaplaning before. And she was nervous. I'm really nervous. She kept looking at that little blade. She almost canceled. Twice! But she took a deep breath. She sat back in the chair. And she let us do our thing.
When she looked in the mirror after, her jaw dropped. Her skin was so smooth. She kept touching her own cheek, over and over. The next morning, her makeup went on like butter. No flaky spots. No cakey mess. Just smooth and even. She texted us later that day. She said it was the best her skin had looked in years. Stuff like that? It makes our whole week.
So if you are thinking about a Royalty dermaplaning facial in Athens, GA, this guide is for you. Maybe you want to know the cost. Maybe you want to know how it works. Maybe you just want to know how long it lasts before you book. We got you. We will keep this simple and honest. No big fancy skin words that make your eyes cross.
Here is the plan. We will talk about what dermaplaning does to your skin. We will talk about what it costs. We will talk about what to skip after. And we will talk about how long that fresh glow sticks around. Then we will show you how easy it is to book. Let's go.
How Long Does a Dermaplaning Facial Last?
A dermaplaning facial usually lasts about three weeks. Here is why. It takes off the top layer of dead skin and fine hair. Then your skin makes new skin. This happens over about three to four weeks. New skin cells rise up to the top. So the peach fuzz and the dull look slowly come back. That is normal. Nothing is wrong.
Want to keep that glow longer? Do three easy things. Wear sunscreen every single day. Drink lots of water. And skip harsh scrubs for a few days after. That is it. A lot of our Athens clients come back once a month. That way they always feel smooth and camera-ready.

How Much Does a Dermaplaning Facial Cost?
Let's talk about money. Because we know it matters. You work hard for your paycheck. And you want to know the price before you walk in. That is fair. We would want the same thing.
The price can change a little. It depends on a few things. How long the session is. If you add extras, like a mask, a peel, or a hydrating boost. And if you book one visit or a whole package. Add-ons cost a bit more. But they also make your results last longer. So sometimes they are worth it.
Here is a simple table so you know what to expect:
Service option Typical range Session length
Dermaplaning + add-on (mask/peel) $165 - 60 min
Dermaplaning package (monthly plan) Based on your evaluation Varies
Here is the honest truth. A dermaplaning facial is one of the cheaper ways to get a big glow fast. And if you love it, a monthly package can save you money over time. Try not to think of it as a big splurge. Think of it more like regular upkeep. Kind of like getting your hair trimmed. You just feel better when you keep up with it.
I had one client who almost did not book because of the price. She thought spa stuff was only for rich folks. That is what she told me. But she tried one visit anyway. Now she comes every single month. She told me it is the one thing she does just for her. And she said it is worth every penny. That made me smile so big.
How Many Layers Does Dermaplaning Remove?
This one comes up a lot. Almost every day. So let's clear up a little myth. Dermaplaning does NOT remove some set "number of layers" of your skin. That is just not true. People worry about this all the time. So let me put your mind at ease right now.
Here is what really happens. The blade takes off the very top layer of your skin. That top layer is made of dead skin cells. Skin pros call it the stratum corneum. Fancy name, simple thing. The blade also takes off that fine peach fuzz hair. And that is it. One thin top layer of dead stuff and hair. Nothing deep. Nothing scary.
So why does this make such a big change? A few reasons:
..Your skin feels smooth right away, because the rough dead cells are gone
..Your makeup and skincare soak in better, because there is no dead layer in the way
..Your face catches the light better, so you look bright and wide awake
And here is the part that helps people relax. It does not hurt the deeper, living parts of your skin. Skin doctors say dermaplaning only works on that outer top layer. That is why it stays so gentle when a trained esthetician does it. You are not stripping your skin. You are just clearing off the tired top layer. Then the fresh skin under it can finally shine.
What Should You Avoid After Dermaplaning?
Aftercare is easy. But it does matter. Your skin is a little more open and soft right after. That top layer just got swept away. So be kind to it for a few days. Do that, and you will love your results even more.
Here is a simple do-and-don't list.
Do:
.Wear sunscreen every day (this one is a must)
.Keep your skin clean and moist
.Use soft, calming products
.Drink water like it is your job
Don't:
.Don't sit in the sun with no SPF
.Don't use retinoids, acids, or harsh scrubs for a few days
.Don't put on heavy makeup right away
.Don't hit the sauna, hot yoga, or a sweaty workout too soon
Here is what one of our estheticians always says:
"If I could get every client to remember one thing, it is sunscreen. Fresh skin soaks up the sun fast after dermaplaning. And SPF is what protects all that new glow you just paid for." — our esthetician team
None of this is hard. Just be gentle. And be sun-smart for a couple days. That is the whole secret.
I will be honest with you. One time a client went straight to a hot yoga class after her facial. Big oops. She came back a little red and puffy. She was totally fine in a day. But now we tell everyone this: give your skin a little rest first. Learn from her, okay? Your skin will thank you.
While you are planning your self-care, go ahead and see all our facials too. A lot of our Athens clients like to mix and match. It is fun to try new things.
How Long Will Dermaplaning Last?
We talked about this up top. But let's go a little deeper. Because it is such a big question.
Your smooth, glowy skin lasts around three weeks. This is tied to your natural skin cell turnover. Your body is always making new skin cells. Over about three to four weeks, those new cells push up to the top. When they do, the peach fuzz and dull look slowly come back. It is normal. It is just how skin works. Nothing is broken.
What makes it fade faster?
o Skipping your sunscreen
o Too much sun
o Not drinking water or not using moisturizer
What helps your glow last longer?
o Daily SPF
o Soft, simple skincare
o Staying hydrated inside and out
o Coming back on a steady rhythm
Most of our regulars settle into a once-a-month routine. It fits a busy Athens life. And it keeps your skin looking its best all the time. Not just for one week. If you like the idea of always feeling ready, once a month is the sweet spot.
I have one client who books her next visit before she even leaves the room. She calls it her "reset day." She turns off her phone. She drops the kids at school. And she comes to see us. She says it is the calmest hour of her whole month. And I love that we get to be that for her. That is a big deal to us.
Does Dermaplaning Hurt?
Let's do a quick recap first. Dermaplaning is a gentle facial. It clears away dead skin and peach fuzz. It leaves you smooth, bright, and makeup-ready. It does not cost a fortune. The aftercare is simple. And the glow lasts about three weeks. Pretty good deal, right?
Now, the big question. Does it hurt? Nope. Not at all. Dermaplaning does not hurt. Most people say it feels calm and relaxing. Kind of like a soft brush moving on your skin. There are no needles. There is no downtime. You can walk right out and go on with your day. You can even head back to work like nothing happened.
Is Dermaplaning Safe for Sensitive Skin?
For most people, yes. A trained esthetician controls every single stroke. So it stays soft and careful the whole time. But if you have active acne or a skin problem, just tell us first. We can change things up. Or we can point you to a better fit for your skin. We always look at your skin before we start. Your safety comes first. Every single time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does dermaplaning make your hair grow back thicker or darker?
No. Dermaplaning does not make your hair grow back thicker or darker. It only takes off the soft peach fuzz (skin pros call it vellus hair). And that hair grows back the same color and the same softness as before. It can feel a little blunt or "stubbly" at first, because the tip got cut straight across. But that is just how it feels. Your hair itself does not change. Promise.
How often should you get a dermaplaning facial?
Most people get dermaplaning about once a month, or every three to four weeks. That timing matches how fast your skin makes new cells. Going more often than every three weeks can bug your skin, so we don't rush it. Got a big event coming up? Book it a few days before, so your skin looks its very best for the big day.
When can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?
Wait about 24 hours before you put makeup back on. Your skin is fresh and a little open right after, so it needs a short rest to calm down. When you do go back to makeup, use clean brushes and pick gentle, non-comedogenic products (that means they won't clog your pores). The good news? Makeup goes on way smoother after dermaplaning anyway.
Is dermaplaning safe during pregnancy?
Yes, dermaplaning is usually a safe pick during pregnancy. It only works on the top layer of your skin. There are no chemicals, no heat, and no downtime. That is why a lot of moms-to-be choose it over chemical peels. Still, it is smart to give your doctor a quick heads-up first. And we always check in with you before we start.
What is the difference between dermaplaning and shaving?
Both use a blade, but they are not the same thing. Regular shaving just cuts off hair. Dermaplaning uses a special sterile blade, held at an angle, by a trained esthetician. It removes the fine hair AND the dead skin on top. So you get smooth, bright skin, not just less fuzz. Think of it as exfoliation and hair removal, all in one.
How do I get ready for my dermaplaning facial?
Come in with clean skin and no makeup if you can. A few days before, take a break from retinoids, acids, and rough scrubs. Skip the tanning bed too, and try not to get a fresh sunburn. Oh, and drink some water. That's really it. It is an easy treatment to prepare for, and we will walk you through anything else once you get here.
