Dermaplaning FAQs
Dermaplaning is typically safe for all skin types, even sensitive skin. However, those with active acne should consider delaying the treatment. It’s always best to consult with a skincare professional to determine the most suitable timing and approach for your skin's specific needs.
A dermaplanning treatment session is relatively fast, takin about 30 to 45 minutes.
No, dermaplaning won't make your hair grow back thicker. The procedure removes fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the skin's surface but doesn't affect the hair follicle or change the hair's texture. Regrowth remains soft and fine, just as before the treatment. Dermaplaning is a safe, effective way to exfoliate the skin and achieve a smoother complexion without altering hair thickness or color.
