FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW DOES DERMAPLANING WORK?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that uses a scalpel-like tool to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz (vellus hair) from the face. This improves the skin's texture, tone, and appearance, while also promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
IS DERMAPLANING SAFE?
Dermaplaning is generally considered safe when performed by a trained professional. However, as with any procedure, there is a small risk of complications such as infection or scarring.
CAN DERMAPLANING BE USED ON ALL SKIN TYPES?
Dermaplaning is suitable for all skin types, but it may not be recommended for people with active acne or other skin conditions. It is best to consult with a skincare professional to determine if dermaplaning is right for you.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING AND AFTER A DERMAPLANING TREATMENT?
During the treatment, a numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. The dermaplaning tool is then gently run over the skin, removing the top layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz. After the treatment, the skin may be slightly red and swollen, but these side effects usually subside within a few hours.
HOW OFTEN CAN I GET DERMAPLANING TREATMENTS?
The frequency of dermaplaning treatments will vary depending on your individual needs and goals, but most people receive treatments every four to six weeks. It is also important to note that after the treatment, sun protection is necessary.
