Is Dermaplaning a safe procedure?
When performed by a well trained professional, dermaplanning is very safe, has no side effects and no downtime.
Will my hair grow back thicker?
No. This is physiologically impossible. There are two types of hair that grow on your body. Vellus hair, which when cut or removed will grow back the same size and shape. Therefore, the main structure of vellus hair does not change and is not altered by dermaplanning. Terminal hair however, is naturally coarse. When this hair type is cut it will always grow back coarse. Dermaplanning is designed to treat the vellus hair which is located on the face.
What areas can be treated?
Dermaplanning is performed on the face only.
How often is the procedure performed?
Dermplanning is usually performed every three to four weeks. Treating the skin in this manner actually removes about two-three weeks worth of dead skin cells. The skin needs to complete its normal thirty day rejuvenation cycle before the treatment is done again.
Does the skin peel from dermaplanning?
Occasionally the skin will peel after Dermaplaning. If the procedure is sooner than a 3-4 week interval, the growth cycle of your hair may not be complete; therefore you are treating skin unnecessarily. This may cause peeling to occur.
What skin types/conditions can be treated?
All skin types may benefit from dermaplanning. Dermaplaning is not recommended if you have acne or an excessive production of sebaceous gland oil. (Sebaceous glands excrete oil along the vellus hair). If the hair is removed, the oils may cause bacteria growth that can stimulate acne breakouts.
