Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Dermaplaning.

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation using a sterile surgical blade to gently scrape away dead skin cells and vellus hair. It instantly smooths texture, brightens complexion, and enhances product absorption without chemicals. Treatment is quick, typically 30–45 minutes, with minimal downtime.

Dermaplaning is generally safe for most skin types, but it's not recommended for active inflammatory acne, open lesions, severe rosacea, or recent chemical peels. A consultation will determine suitability, and technicians adapt technique for sensitive or reactive skin to minimize irritation.

Results last about three to four weeks, sometimes up to six depending on skin cell turnover and hair growth. Regular treatments every 4–6 weeks maintain smoothness and brightness. Home care with SPF and gentle skincare extends benefits and prevents sun-related damage.

No, it does not change hair thickness or growth rate. Dermaplaning cuts hair at skin level; regrowth feels the same as before. Hair may appear blunt initially but remains the same texture. Regular sessions maintain a consistently smooth appearance.

Avoid retinoids, chemical peels, waxing, and heavy sun exposure for at least one week before treatment. Arrive with clean skin and inform your technician about medications, recent procedures, or skin sensitivities to ensure safe, effective Dermaplaning.

Mild redness or sensitivity for a few hours is normal. Avoid exfoliants and direct sunlight for 48 hours, use SPF, and follow recommended aftercare. Rarely, minor irritation or breakouts occur; contact us if prolonged redness, irritation, or signs of infection develop.
