• What is dermaplaning? Dermaplaning is an effective physical exfoliation method, which uses a surgical scalpel to remove vellus hair or "peach fuzz" and dead skin cells. This method of exfoliation leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated and smooth.
• Is the treatment safe? This treatment is safe when performed by a trained skincare professional. There are risks of cuts on the skin, however, they are small as the pressure used for dermaplaning cannot cause a deep cut. If a nick or scrape occurs it will heal within 24-48 hours.
• Will my hair grow back thicker and darker? No. There are different types of hair that grow on the body; vellus and terminal hair. Vellus hair is found on most areas of the body except palms, soles, lips, and genital areas. Terminal hairs are found on the scalp, underarms, and pubic regions. The soft and fine vellus hair grows back at the same rate and texture.
