What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of your skin using a sterile surgical scalpel. It’s a completely painless, non-invasive treatment that delivers instant results—leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and more receptive to skincare products.

The Top Benefits of Dermaplaning

1. Instantly Smoother, Brighter Skin

By removing dead skin cells and fine facial hair, dermaplaning reveals fresh, new skin underneath, giving you an instant glow. If you struggle with dull, rough skin, this treatment will give you the fresh-faced look you have been craving!

2. Better Skincare Absorption

Ever feel like your expensive serums and moisturizers just sit on top of your skin? That’s because dead skin cells create a barrier, preventing products from fully penetrating. Dermaplaning removes this barrier, allowing your skincare products to sink in deeper and work more effectively.

3. Flawless Makeup Application

One of the biggest perks of dermaplaning? Your makeup goes on flawlessly! Without peach fuzz and dry skin interfering, foundation, blush, and highlighter glide on seamlessly, giving you that airbrushed look.

4. Safe & Gentle Exfoliation

Unlike harsh chemical peels or scrubs, dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation method suitable for almost all skin types, including sensitive skin. There’s no downtime, no harsh chemicals, and no irritation.

5. No, Your Hair Won’t Grow Back Thicker!

Let’s address one of the biggest myths about dermaplaning:

Shaving your face does NOT make your hair grow back thicker, darker, or coarser.

Dermaplaning only removes vellus hair (peach fuzz), which is soft, fine, and light in color. It does not affect the hair follicle or stimulate thicker hair growth. If you’re worried about turning into a werewolf overnight—don’t be! Your peach fuzz will grow back exactly as it was before.

Who Should Get Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is great for almost everyone! It’s particularly beneficial if you:

✔️ Have dry or rough skin

✔️ Want a more even skin tone

✔️ Struggle with dullness or texture

✔️ Wear makeup regularly and want a smoother application

✔️ Want a quick, painless glow-up with no downtime

The only people who should avoid dermaplaning are those with active acne breakouts or extremely sensitive skin prone to irritation. Otherwise, it’s a game-changer for your skincare routine!
