Dermaplaning is a quick, painless in-office treatment that exfoliates the skin and removes dirt, debris, and vellus hair on the face — more commonly known as “peach fuzz”.
How is dermaplaning different than dermabrasion?
Dermabrasion uses a high-speed, rotating brush is to exfoliate the skin. Dermaplaning uses a scalpel or a tool called a “dermatome” which looks like an electric razor. The dermatome is moved back and forth to scrape off the top layer of dead skin.
Will dermaplaning cause my facial hair to grow back thick or dark?
No, this is a myth. Peach fuzz is so soft and thin that the dermaplaning tool cannot affect how it grows back. However, in rare cases, dark hair may grow near your chin or “sideburn area”.
Can dermaplaning cause an acne breakout?
No. As a matter of fact, this treatment actually prevents acne breakouts from starting because it exfoliates the skin. This means that it unclogs and cleans the pores out, which keeps acne at bay.
