What is dermaplaning and what does it do?
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and fine peach fuzz using a sterile blade, leaving skin smoother, brighter, and more receptive to skincare.
Does dermaplaning make hair grow back thicker?
No. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair, which grows back at the same texture as before. It does not change the thickness or color of your hair.
How often should you get dermaplaning?
Many people schedule dermaplaning about every 3 to 4 weeks, which aligns with the skin’s natural cell turnover cycle.
Is there downtime after dermaplaning?
There is essentially no downtime. Skin may be slightly pink briefly, and sun protection is recommended afterward.
Can dermaplaning be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Dermaplaning is often paired with facials, peels, or other treatments to enhance product absorption and results.
Who should avoid dermaplaning?
Those with active acne breakouts, certain skin conditions, or very sensitive skin may want to consider alternatives. A consultation will confirm if it is right for you.
