What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine peach fuzz (vellus hair) from the surface of the skin. It is done using a specialized surgical scalpel to gently "shave" the skin, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion.

Is Dermaplaning Safe?

Yes, dermaplaning is a safe procedure when performed by a trained professional. It is a gentle treatment that does not cause irritation or damage to the skin, making it suitable for most skin types, except for those with active acne or sensitive conditions like rosacea.

What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?

• Smoother Skin: Removes dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling smooth and soft.

• Brighter Complexion: Helps to improve skin tone and clarity by removing dull, dead skin.

• Peach Fuzz Removal: Eliminates fine facial hair, providing a flawless finish and improved makeup application.

• Enhanced Skincare Absorption: By removing the top layer of dead skin, your skincare products penetrate deeper, increasing their effectiveness.

Does Dermaplaning Hurt?

No, dermaplaning is generally pain-free. You may feel a slight tingling or scraping sensation, but it is not uncomfortable. The treatment is very gentle and quick, with no downtime required afterward.

How Long Does Dermaplaning Take?

The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. It's a relatively quick treatment with immediate results.

How Often Should I Get Dermaplaning?

Most clients benefit from dermaplaning every 4-6 weeks, as this aligns with the skin’s natural exfoliation cycle. However, your esthetician can recommend a schedule tailored to your skin's needs.

Is There Downtime After Dermaplaning?

No, there is no downtime with dermaplaning. Your skin may appear slightly pink for a few hours after the treatment, but you can resume your normal activities immediately. Makeup can be applied right after the treatment.

Can I Get Dermaplaning if I Have Acne?

If you have active acne or inflamed skin, dermaplaning may not be suitable as it could irritate the skin. However, you can discuss your skin concerns with your esthetician, who will determine if dermaplaning is appropriate for your skin condition.

Will My Hair Grow Back Thicker After Dermaplaning?

No, the fine vellus hair removed during dermaplaning will not grow back thicker or darker. The hair will grow back at its normal rate and texture, as dermaplaning only removes the surface layer of hair.

Can I Combine Dermaplaning with Other Treatments?

Yes! Dermaplaning can be combined with other treatments such as facials, chemical peels, and microneedling to enhance results. After dermaplaning, your skin will be in the perfect state to absorb active ingredients in other treatments.

What Should I Do After Dermaplaning?

After dermaplaning, it’s important to:

• Wear sunscreen: Your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays.

• Avoid harsh skincare: Skip retinoids, glycolic acid, and exfoliating products for 48 hours.

• Hydrate your skin: Use gentle moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated and nourished.

Is Dermaplaning Suitable for All Skin Types?

Dermaplaning is generally safe for most skin types, especially those with dry, dull, or rough-textured skin. However, it may not be ideal for those with active acne, rosacea, or highly sensitive skin.
