Dermaplaning, a popular skincare treatment, has been making waves in the beauty world for its promise of smoother, more radiant skin. As a licensed esthetician with a passion for skincare, I'm excited to delve into the details of this transformative procedure. So, grab a cup of tea and settle in while we explore the world of dermaplaning together!
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that involves gently scraping the top layer of skin on the face, known as the stratum corneum, using a medical-grade scalpel or a high-quality home-use blade. This process effectively removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hairs, also known as peach fuzz, leaving the skin ultra-smooth and rejuvenated.
There are pros and cons to this process but first, let's review important dermaplaning instructions. The key is to begin with clean skin using a clean, sharp blade held at a 45-degree angle while skin is held taut. Short scraps, removing debris from the blade as the face is treated. To avoid injury skin must always be held taut.
The process removes both dead skin cells and the fine vellus hairs known as peach fuzz, leaving the surface of the face ultra smooth.
Dermaplaning stimulates the development of new skin cells revealing new skin on the surface. It leaves skin in a healthier condition but without any harsh chemicals, excessive downtime, or pain. There may be a slight redness that goes away quickly.
Like any skincare procedure, dermaplaning has its pros and cons. On the positive side, it results in cleaner, smaller-looking pores.
It's essential to consider the potential drawbacks of dermaplaning. If not done with a clean, sharp blade, there is a risk of ingrown hairs and nicks, which can lead to injury.
Is dermaplaning painful?
Dermaplaning is typically painless, although some individuals may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity during the procedure. For me, I love the relaxing feel of this treatment (unless I get nicked, but this is rare.)
How often should I dermaplane my skin?
It is recommended to dermaplane no more than once a week to avoid over-exfoliation and potential damage to the skin.
Can I wear makeup immediately after dermaplaning?
It's best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup after dermaplaning to allow the skin to recover fully.
Will dermaplaning make my hair grow back thicker?
No, dermaplaning does not change the texture or thickness of hair. Any stubble experienced after dermaplaning is simply due to the hair being cut straight across and will grow back as it was before.
In conclusion, dermaplaning is a fantastic skincare treatment that can provide numerous benefits when done correctly and with proper care. By following the guidelines outlined in this guide and using high-quality skincare products, you can achieve smoother, more radiant skin that glows from within.

Take a look at the six signs of unhealthy skin that appear even with a solid skin routine, along with the esthetician-trusted tips to fix them!
One of the most obvious signs of unhealthy skin is a dry, flaky complexion. You might not notice how dry your skin has become as you lather on your favorite moisturizer. But you can definitely tell your skin is in need of moisture after applying makeup like foundation or powder. If your skin peels and flakes by the end of the day, you’re most likely overdue for a good exfoliation session!
Exfoliation is the best way to gently loosen dead skin cells, accelerate skin renewal, and revive dry or flaky skin. I recommend washing with the deep cleaning, foamy CBE Botanicals Scrub Away the Day Cleanser, and following with the Revive Exfoliating Serum once or twice weekly. If your skin is sensitive or dry, try the Enzyme Rescue for a gentle but thorough exfoliation.
