Dermaplaning

The safe and simple way to healthier looking skin.

Dull, Dry or Uneven Skin Tones?

Dermaplaning is a safe and simple treatment for exfoliating the skin. If you feel like your skin is looking dull or dry have uneven skin tones, mild acne scarring or fine lines or wrinkles, Dermaplaning is a perfect choice. Dermaplaning is a safe and gentle way to remove fine vellus hairs (the “peach fuzz” or baby fine hairs) on your face that don’t respond well to laser hair removal, leaving your skin feeling baby-soft, smooth, and more even-toned.*

Twenty Minutes to A New You

Using a delicate scraper, our aesthetician gently scrapes the surface of the skin using light feathering strokes, a process that takes about 15-20 minutes. Dermaplaning greatly improves the penetration and efficacy of topical products. Therefore, we highly recommend having clients have a peel or Vitamin C product applied immediately after the treatment.

There is no downtime associated with dermaplaning and the procedure can be done as often as every two weeks. And the baby hairs that are removed do not grow back any thicker or faster, as many fear can happen with traditional shaving.*

If you would like to try this safe, simple and incredibly popular procedure, please schedule an appointment with NicholsMD of Greenwich today!

Common pairings include:

Gel Peel

Mild yet effective, this light acid peel combines several acids that work to hydrate, retexture, and brighten skin. This is Dr. Nichols' favorite zero-downtime glowup!

Oxygen Facial

Oxygen under light pressure aids delivery of age-defying ingredients into the skin while giving off a cooling and calming effect.

Skilled treatments. Real results.

Dr. Nichols is the best! She, along with her incredible staff are wonderful, caring, punctual and pleasant. She is able to work with your calendar and has such terrific ideas. She is able to answer all questions -- honestly and never tries to push any procedure on you -- and there are many. I can't praise her and her team enough

I had an excellent first experience visiting NicholsMD for a medical issue. Everyone was very nice and caring within a great and relaxing atmosphere. I had my consultation with Vanesa, she is very knowledgeable and provided a thorough treatment plan for me to follow. I will continue to come here. I was very well taken care of.

First visit to Nichols MD at the Fairfield location. Wonderful consultation with Kaitlyn. She asked me first what were my major areas of concerns. We discussed and she left and came back with a full treatment plan and skincare plan. We also discussed priorities and next steps. Very thorough, friendly, professional and realistic. Cannot wait for my first treatment next week!

This place is a hidden gem. The staff is friendly, informative and professional. Dr. Nichols has a great bedside manner and is very thorough. It was my first time going for a consultation and I was scared. However, the staff did not push and they even gave me a free treatment to ease my concerns. If you want great service, make an appointment now.

I had the best experience today getting fraxel laser treatment from Alyson. She made me feel comfortable from the second I arrived and until the minute I was leaving. She walked me through everything so I felt at ease and excited to get the procedure done. Moments after, she gave me my post procedure instructions in-person and talked me through what I can and cannot do/use. I'm so excited to see my results! Alyson was the best. If you're looking for flawless skin, book an appointment with Alyson!

I just got the Greenwich Secret done by Alyson, and I am obsessed! I was so nervous because I’m not a huge fan of needles.. or pain.. and she made me feel so comfortable and it wasn’t as bad as I thought! Her bedside manner is great! Plus I love the results already. Definitely recommend.

An excellent practice with cutting edge scientific knowledge. Everyone is highly trained and attentive. In just 2 months my skin has literally transformed from dry/tired to dewy/youthful. More importantly, Dr. Nichols is extremely skilled, informative and caring.

Dr. Nichols and her entire group were so warm and knowledgeable. The office is immaculate and they take every precaution to ensure safety measures are maintained. All of my questions were answered and each person took the time to explain my options. Vanessa, in particular, was so incredibly kind and helpful in getting me prepared for my procedure and checking in on me throughout. I am so happy I chose Dr. Nichols’ practice.

Dr. Nichols’ work defines the effortless beauty that Greenwich women are known for. She is a brilliant sculptor, aesthetic genius and master of her tools. I have been going to Dr. Nichols for a year, and have never seen work like hers. And I get a lot more compliments than I used to when I was going to NYC doctors for years. We are lucky to have her!

Dr. Nichols is so knowledgeable and so good at her job. I went in for under eye bags that we’re bothering me. She explained different options & I went with fillers. I am THRILLED & look so much more rested. Her staff is also amazing and very attentive. Highly recommend going there.

I truly cannot express how amazing this team is! Staff is always kind and helpful, and they always make me feel very comfortable and at ease when getting an injection. I have to shout out Katie for her injection expertise, how could it be close to pain free and look so perfect!? I swear my face is SAVED, natural, not to much but not to little, little lift and a little perk! I have NEVER been happier or felt better. For me consistency is key and knowing exactly the experience and result is everything. All I can say is THANK YOU team Nichols!

My mother and I are moving to Chicago and I am going to miss Dr. Nichols and her staff. What a lovely bunch. They are truly genuine, paying attention with detail to your skin needs. Did I mention they go way beyond to ensure you have everything you need to take care of your skin. Our skin feels and looks AMAZING. You definitely will not regret investing into Dr. Nichols.

NicholsMD was the best skincare experience I ever received. From the beautiful office to the warm, smiling faces when you enter, I knew at once I was at home. Katie French, PA-C, was everything you would want in a medical professional. She listened to my concerns and needs and then walked me through the entire process. She only recommended what was necessary and had a degree of professionalism of someone who has thirty years of experience. Katie took the time to answer all my questions and I’ve never walked away wih smoother and clearer skin. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly skilled with the procedure. I’ve loved every visit to NicholsMD. I will be a lifetime patient of Katie French, PA-C, Dr. Nichols, and the rest of their staff. Make an appointment, you will never be happier!

Also, Jessica gives great facials and knows how to pamper you! The office is amazing, sleek and modern and their products have changed my skin for the best! Love NicholsMD
