Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of your skin. This safe and effective procedure reveals smoother, brighter skin and allows for better product absorption.
This is a common myth. Dermaplaning will not change the color, texture, or growth rate of your facial hair. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) is structurally different from terminal hair (like the hair on your head), and removing it will not cause it to grow back thicker, darker, or faster.
Yes! Dermaplaning pairs beautifully with other treatments such as chemical peels, hydrating facials, or LED light therapy. Removing the barrier of dead skin cells allows these treatments to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively. Your skincare professional can recommend the best combination for your skin concerns.
There is no downtime after dermaplaning. You can resume your normal activities immediately. The treatment is often called a "lunchtime procedure" because of how quick and convenient it is.
Dermaplaning can help improve the appearance of mild acne scarring by removing the top layer of dead skin cells and promoting cellular turnover. However, it's not recommended for active acne breakouts. For deeper scarring, your aesthetician may recommend combining dermaplaning with other treatments for optimal results.
A typical dermaplaning session takes 30-45 minutes, depending on whether it's a standalone treatment or combined with other services.
Yes, dermaplaning is considered safe during pregnancy and is a great alternative for expecting mothers who want to avoid chemical treatments or certain skincare ingredients. Always inform your aesthetician if you're pregnant so they can customize your treatment accordingly.
Immediately after dermaplaning, your skin may appear slightly pink, but this typically subsides within a few hours. You'll notice instantly smoother skin, a more radiant complexion, and improved makeup application. Your skincare products will also penetrate more effectively.
While your skin will be perfectly safe to apply makeup immediately after treatment, we recommend waiting 24 hours to allow your freshly exfoliated skin to breathe and absorb post-treatment products. This gives you the best results and reduces any potential for irritation.
For optimal results, dermaplaning is typically recommended every 3-4 weeks, which aligns with your skin's natural regeneration cycle. Your skincare professional can customize the frequency based on your individual skin needs and goals.
Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types and is particularly beneficial for those with:
However, it's not recommended for those with active acne, rosacea, or other inflammatory skin conditions.
