Dermaplaning is an application for manually exfoliating the outer layer of the skin. It also removes vellus hair (peach fuzz), is a quick and pain-free method that helps improve product absorption, and gives your skin a healthy glow. This procedure also triggers the skin to boost collagen production, helping decrease fine lines and wrinkles. This procedure doesn’t require any downtime for recovery, which makes it very convenient. 

Dermaplaning prevents acne from forming, eliminating the top layer of dead skin cells and preventing oils, dead skin, and debris from being trapped inside the skin. It is also a primer for makeup as it allows the foundation to look even, rather than sitting on dead skin and peach fuzz.

“Will dermaplaning make me grow a beard?” is a common question when speaking about female face-shaving, and the answer is no. The hair on a woman’s face is called vellus hair (peach fuzz) and is soft and delicate.

It removes the fuzz above the skin’s surface and does not impact a woman’s facial hair’s growth, color, or texture.

If you have cystic acne and active pustules, avoid dermaplaning. Instead, check our Acne Skincare Services.

Clients with inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, are also not good candidates for dermaplaning. Since the blade creates micro-cuts on the skin’s surface, opt for more gentle skincare products and treatments. Talk with our estheticians about your options.

Lastly, sunblock is vital after a dermaplaning treatment. Sunblock application is a must since you expose newly exfoliated skin, which is sensitive to UV light.
