Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is one of the most requested treatments in modern esthetics — and for good reason. Clients love the instant results, the glow, the smoothness, and the way their makeup sits differently afterward. For professionals, it is a service that elevates the entire treatment menu, increases average ticket value, and keeps clients coming back. At The Esthetics Edit, we offer dermaplaning education in two formats — a fully online certification for professionals who want to learn at their own pace, and a hybrid in-person experience for those who want hands-on training with expert eyes in the room. Both are built to the same professional standard. Both result in a certificate of completion from The Esthetics Edit.

Online Certification
Online Only
$425.00
Dermaplaning is one of the most in-demand add-ons in the industry. This certification gives you everything you need to offer it with confidence, precision, and a professional standard clients will feel. The Esthetics Edit Dermaplaning Online Certification is a self-paced 3 to 5 hour program covering skin anatomy, contraindications, blade safety, technique, treatment pairings, aftercare, and the business of adding dermaplaning to your menu. Because technique matters, this certification requires a video submission of your work before your certificate is issued — so you leave not just with knowledge, but with verified skill. Includes video modules, downloadable resources, and instructor feedback on your technique.

Dermaplaning is the treatment that sells itself. Clients see the results immediately — the glow, the smoothness. Once you know how to do it properly, it becomes one of the easiest services to build a loyal following around.
The Esthetics Edit Dermaplaning Online Certification is a comprehensive self-paced program for licensed professionals who want to add dermaplaning to their menu — the right way. With 3 to 5 hours of content, this is not a surface-level overview. It is a thorough, professional certification covering everything from the science of the skin to the business of selling the service — with a video submission component that ensures your technique is genuinely certification-worthy before your certificate is issued.
What you will learn:
Skin anatomy and the science of dermaplaning — how the blade interacts with the skin at a cellular level and why it works
Contraindications — who is and is not a candidate, how to screen clients confidently, and how to decline gracefully
Blade knowledge — types of blades, handles, correct angle, pressure, and safe disposal
Workspace setup and sanitation — the professional standard for every single appointment
Full technique walkthrough — stroke pattern, skin tension, facial zones, and how to navigate challenging areas
Treatment pairings — how to combine dermaplaning with masks, serums, peels, and other treatments for maximum results and higher ticket value
Aftercare and client education — the script that protects your results and builds client trust
Pricing, marketing, and adding dermaplaning to your service menu with confidence
How certification works:
Because dermaplaning is a blade-based service, technique matters! That is why this certification includes a video submission component. Before your certificate is issued, you will submit a video of your dermaplaning technique for instructor review and feedback. This is not a pass or fail test. It is a professional standard — and it means when you display your Esthetics Edit certificate, it actually means something. Our team may request edits to your technique and resubmission before issuing a certification.
What is included:
3 to 5 hours of video content with lifetime access
Professional downloadable resources
Instructor review of your technique video submission
Personalized feedback from your instructor
Certificate of completion from The Esthetics Edit upon successful submission
Investment: $425 — complete online, at your own pace, on your own schedule.
Video submission can be completed on a willing friend, family member, or practice model at a time that works for you.

Hybrid Online Theory & In-Person
Available in Enumclaw & Issaquah, WA or within 10 miles
$575.00
The Esthetics Edit Dermaplaning In-Person Certification is the hands-on version of our dermaplaning program — combining online pre-work you complete in advance with a focused 4-hour in-person training session where you practice on a live model with your instructor right there to guide, correct, and refine your technique in real time. You will cover everything in the online curriculum plus live supervised application, immediate feedback on your blade angle and stroke, and the kind of confidence that only comes from practicing with an expert in the room.

There is a difference between watching someone dermaplane and knowing how to do it yourself — with the right angle, the right pressure, the right tension, and the instinct to navigate every zone of the face without hesitation. That difference is built in person, with a blade in your hand and an expert watching your work.
The Esthetics Edit Dermaplaning In-Person Certification is a hybrid program combining self-paced online pre-work with a hands-on 4-hour in-person training session. You will arrive at your in-person session already fluent in the theory — so every minute of your time is spent on technique, practice, and real-time refinement rather than sitting through slides.
How it works:
Before your in-person session, you complete our online pre-work modules at your own pace — covering skin anatomy, contraindications, blade knowledge, workspace setup, and the foundational principles of dermaplaning technique. You arrive prepared, confident in the theory, and ready to put your hands to work.
In your 4-hour in-person session you will:
Review and confirm your theoretical understanding
Practice blade handling, angle, and skin tension on a practice surface before working on skin
Perform a full dermaplaning treatment on a live model under direct supervision
Receive real-time feedback on your angle, stroke pattern, pressure, and technique throughout
Practice challenging areas
Walk through treatment pairings, aftercare, and client communication
What is included:
Online pre-work modules
Professional downloadable resources
4-hour hands-on in-person training session
Live model practice
Skills observation

Investment: $575 — online pre-work, 4-hour in-person session, downloadable resources, and certification.
