Dermaplane: Shave Your Way To A Better Complexion!

Have you heard of Dermaplaning? Dermaplane? SHAVING YOUR FACE?!? Yes, shaving your face is a thing, and it’s kind of a big deal in the skincare industry. Let’s start with – What does Dermaplane mean? Dermaplaning is the act of removing the topmost layer of the skin, using a surgical scalpel that glides across the skin. This exfoliation method will remove vellus hair (that fine, baby hair on our face aka Peach Fuzz), dead skin cells, oil, and any debris that may be sitting on your skin.

I know what you’re thinking – Won’t shaving my face make my hair grow back thicker and darker? The answer, NO!!! That’s a myth and not true at all. When shaving, you are simply cutting the hair at its base, where it may appear wider than the ends. You are not altering the hair follicle in any way. The hair will continue to grow at its expected rate, texture, and size. All of which are determined by your genetics and hormones, not by how frequently or if you shave. 

Let’s move on to the benefits of Dermaplaning!

  • Gentle Exfoliation Method: A thorough Dermaplaning will leave you with a silky smooth face after removing all the gunk sitting on top of the skin. 

  • Removes Vellus Hair: Peach Fuzz no more. Say goodbye to unwanted hair that glistens in the sunlight.

  • Brighter Complexion: This exfoliation method is ideal for those looking to lessen the appearance of leftover acne scars, pore size, hyperpigmentation, and smooth fine lines. 

  • Deeper Product Penetration: Because there is no oil build-up, hairs, or debris left sitting on your face, your products can penetrate deep into your skin. Therefore, you’ll get better results from your skincare routine and more bang for your buck.

  • Perfect Canvas For Makeup Application: A smooth and even surface is ideal for a flawless makeup application, and that’s precisely what you’ll get from Dermaplaning.  

Dermaplaning is gentle; yet effective, leaving the majority of clients with a smoother, brighter complexion, with little to no downtime right after the procedure. Overall, Dermaplaning is a great treatment option for MOST people. However, If you’re currently suffering from acne (cystic or otherwise), rosacea, dermatitis, or skin sensitivity, steer clear of Dermaplaning until those issues are dealt with. Women who suffer from hirsutism should avoid Dermaplaning as well. Although Dermaplaning was designed to remove vellus hair from the skin, thicker hair caused by hormonal changes should not be shaven off, as this can lead to ingrown hairs, infections, and irritation on the skin. 

In conclusion, if you’re looking for a dewy glow, brighter complexion, smoother skin, and to supercharge your selfie game, Dermaplane might be just what your aesthetician ordered;)
