FAQ's
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a sterile blade to manually shave off the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. This process does not affect the hair follicles or the hair growth cycle in any way, so the hair will grow back at the same rate and texture as before. It’s different from shaving because the intent is to improve the appearance of the skin as opposed to the removal of the hair.
No, this is physiologically impossible. The soft, fine vellus hair will grow back slowly usually in about 4-weeks. There are two types of hair that grow on our bodies: Vellous hair is thin, fine, soft hair that typically covers the entire body. Terminal hair is the coarse hair that grows on the head, face (in men), underarms, legs, and pubic areas.
Dermaplaning is performed on the face only.
Dermaplaning can be performed every 3—4 weeks. Treating the skin in this manner removes about 2-3 weeks worth of dead skin cells. The technician will allow the skin to complete its normal skin cycle of approximately 28 days before repeating the treatment.
Yes. Combining dermaplaning with a chemical peel or HydraFacial can provide deeper exfoliation and more dramatic results, as the peel and HydraFacial can penetrate more deeply into the skin. Dermaplaning can be combined with a chemical peel in the same treatment after the client has experienced both services independently and treatments at least 2 weeks apart.
