What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is the process of exfoliating the skin to remove dry or dead skin and facial hair.

Why should I try dermaplaning?
The removal of facial hair and dead skin from the face helps the overall appearance of the skin as well as the texture. It can help with product absorption such as cleansers, serums, concentrators, and night creams – without the extra skin and hair acting as a barrier, the products are able to absorb directly into the targeted area applied. Dermaplaning can also help with the appearance of acne scars.

Will my hair come back thicker?
No, your hair will grow back exactly the way it was. Since dermaplaning does not impact the hair follicle structure at all, you will not experience thicker hair. When you feel the hair has grown back, it is an indicator that it’s time for another derma-facial.

Will this hurt?
No! Dermaplaning is so noninvasive that most people don’t even feel it at all. Many people find dermaplaning relaxing!
