Important Dermaplaning Notes
It’s important to note that your hair will grow back exactly the same color and thickness as it was previously. However, because you are removing the dead layer of skin and vellus hair, your skin will appear much brighter than you’ve experienced in the past, and then after the regrowth, it seems darker. Each time you get dermaplaned, you’re removing about two to three weeks’ worth of dead skin cells. Dermaplaning is recommended every three to four weeks.
FAQ's
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that involves using a specialized scalpel-like tool to gently scrape away the outermost layers of dead skin. This treatment not only reveals a smoother, more radiant complexion but also removes fine facial hair, often referred to as “peach fuzz”.
