What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade at a controlled angle to remove dead surface cells and fine vellus hair, creating temporary smoothness and helping makeup apply more evenly.
What It Cannot Do
It does not permanently reduce hair, change regrowth thickness, treat deep acne scars, or replace collagen-stimulating procedures.
What to Expect
Temporary redness, sensitivity, dryness, or breakouts can occur. Daily sunscreen is important after exfoliation.
Candidacy
Active inflamed acne, infection, open lesions, impaired healing, or significant irritation may make dermaplaning inappropriate.
