Worth the read:
During a dermaplaning session, the esthetician uses a medical-grade scalpel to scrape (not cut!) across the surface of the skin. The main reason people do it is to remove the vellus hairs on their faces, also known as peach fuzz.
Peach fuzz can appear almost colorless, blonde, gray, or brown (or the same color as the hair on your head). Everyone has these fine vellus hairs coating our bodies, and they are meant to keep us warm and add another layer of protection to the skin. But some people’s vellus hairs are thicker and more visible than others, and so they might want to have it removed.
It can be tough to get rid of these hairs with typical hair-removal methods like waxing and threading, which makes dermaplaning a better option.
The blade also gets rid of a superficial layer of dead skin. The brightening effect on the skin is immediate, and it will help skin-care products sink in better and makeup go on smoother.
The first thing people ask about dermaplaning is always: Will my hair grow back thicker? That’s a no. Whatever hair removal method you use, it has no affect on how your hair grows—the speed of growth is all a matter of genetics. So you won’t suffer a 5 o’clock shadow once you remove the hair.
After a dermaplaning treatment, you do need to take care of your skin. You have to coat your skin with sunblock afterwards because you’re going to be more sensitive to sun. You also have to be cautious of retinol and glycolic acids. I recommend using a serum with growth factors to help with texture and tone of skin.
