Who can have dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is extremely safe and suitable for most people, from teenagers upwards. The minimum age for treatment is 16 (with parental consent). It is especially recommended if you have dry skin, rough skin or mature skin. It is also an effective treatment for uneven pigmentation and sun damage.
Who is dermaplaning not suitable for?
Dermaplaning is suitable for all skin types, except for those who suffer from acne.
What are the long term effects of dermaplaning?
You can expect to see an instant improvement in skin texture and tone, while the long-term effects are increased cell turnover, fewer wrinkles and dark spots, reduction of acne scarring, and the removal of fine facial hair.
Does hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
Let's set the record straight here with a simple NO. It's a myth that your facial hair will become either thicker or darker after dermaplaning. It just isn't possible for your hair to do this, as dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment. The hair will grow back, but it won't change colour or thickness.
How often should I have dermaplaning?
Most clients should have dermaplaning about once a month for ideal results. Since the body naturally replaces skin cells each month, this ensures the old cells are removed and new, healthy skin cells are visible. In some cases, more or less frequent visits may be recommended based on the patient's specific needs.
Is dermaplaning the same as shaving?
Dermaplaning, which we could also just call, "shaving your face," because this treatment involves gently pulling a blade along your skin. But! Dermaplaning, unlike traditional shaving, uses a smaller blade to slough off dead skin cells in addition to removing wispy facial hair, so skin is more even in tone and texture.
What can go wrong with dermaplaning?
Some people report minor cuts from the blade if they are attempting dermaplaning themselves at home. Exfoliating too much or using too much pressure from at-home use can cause scarring. Professionally done dermaplaning can also cause scarring post-treatment, although this is rare.
Will dermaplaning cause stubble?
It's common to feel a little stubble as your hair starts growing back in after dermaplaning. This doesn't mean that your hair is thicker or more coarse. It has to do with the way each hair was cut straight across. The hair feels different to you, but it's the exact same texture and colour as it was before dermaplaning.
