Key Benefits of Dermaplaning
Instant Luminous Glow
By physically removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, dermaplaning immediately reveals brighter, softer, more reflective skin with no downtime.
Improves Product Absorption
With the barrier of dead cells and peach fuzz removed, skincare serums and moisturizers penetrate up to 50% deeper — maximizing the efficacy of your entire skincare routine.
Flawless Makeup Application
Foundation and concealer glide on seamlessly over dermaplaned skin, with no texture or fine hair interfering with a smooth, photogenic finish.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Will hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
No — this is a common myth. Vellus facial hair (peach fuzz) has no pigment or texture and cannot change characteristics. Hair regrows at the same rate, color, and thickness as before.
How often should I get dermaplaning?
Every 3–4 weeks is ideal — timed to coincide with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle. Regular sessions maintain a consistent glow and texture improvement.
Can I wear makeup immediately after dermaplaning?
Yes, one of dermaplaning's key benefits is zero downtime. Makeup can be applied immediately after, though SPF is essential as freshly dermaplaned skin is more sensitive to UV.
Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, when performed by a trained professional, dermaplaning is appropriate for most skin types including sensitive skin. It is typically not recommended for active acne breakouts or inflamed skin.
