Imagine a tiny, ultra-precise exfoliating blade—sterile and gentle—gliding across your face to whisk away dull dead skin cells and that sneaky "peach fuzz." This isn’t just any exfoliation; it’s a silky-smooth reveal, uncovering a fresh, radiant layer of skin that’s practically begging for your favorite serums and creams. The result? A complexion so soft and luminous, it practically glows with a newfound glow-up, making your skincare routine feel like a magic ritual every single time..

Benefits

• Smoother skin and makeup application: By removing the top layer of dead skin and vellus hair, dermaplaning leaves the skin incredibly soft. This creates a smooth base for a more flawless makeup application.

• Enhanced product absorption: Without the layer of dead cells and fine hair on the skin's surface, skincare products like serums and moisturizers can penetrate more deeply and effectively.

• Reduced appearance of imperfections: Dermaplaning can minimize the look of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and shallow acne scars.

• Brighter complexion: Exfoliating the dead, dull skin cells allows for a more radiant, "glowing" appearance.

• Painless and non-invasive: The procedure is gentle and does not involve chemicals. While you may feel a slight tingling or scraping sensation, it is not painful. 

Common myths

• Hair grows back thicker and darker: This is a common misconception. Dermaplaning removes the soft vellus hair, not the coarse terminal hair that grows on a man's face. The shaved hair grows back with the same texture and color as it had before.

• It causes more breakouts: In fact, by removing the dead skin cells and hair that trap oil and dirt, dermaplaning can help prevent future breakouts. However, you should not dermaplane over active, inflamed acne. . 

Risks and considerations

When performed correctly, dermaplaning is a safe, low-risk procedure. However, some risks and precautions to keep in mind include: 

• Temporary redness or irritation.

• Increased sun sensitivity, so wearing sunscreen is essential afterward.

• Risk of infection or scarring if proper hygiene is not followed.

• Not suitable for everyone. You should avoid dermaplaning if you have a skin condition like rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, or active cystic acne.
