— Frequently Asked —

Questions, Answered

Can I do dermaplaning alone?

Yes, though it's most effective as an add-on to facials or chemical peels for enhanced results.

Is there downtime?

Usually none. Use SPF diligently and avoid sun exposure.

Will my hair grow back thicker?

No. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) grows back at the same texture. This is a common myth.

Is it safe for acne-prone skin?

Not recommended over active inflamed acne. Suited to non-inflamed skin types.

How often can I get dermaplaning?

Every 3-4 weeks, aligned with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle.

Does it hurt?

No. Most clients find it relaxing. You may feel a light scraping sensation.
