In this article we talk about dermaplaning, what the treatment entails, along with benefits of Dermaplaning. You could be offering this profitable treatment to your customers via our Platinum Skin Specialist Course or Dermaplaning Course.
What is dermaplaning?
You’re probably wondering what dermaplaning is. Before we go any further, let’s get that out of the way. Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skin treatment done by an aesthetician, Skin therapist or beauty therapist. The treatment involves using a small surgical scalpel to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz from your complexion. It’s important that you understand the difference between this process and simply shaving your face. One is a recommended medical procedure, and the other is not..
What does a dermaplaning treatment entail?
Dermaplaning is a great anti-aging treatment because it immediately improves skin texture and makes the skin look smooth. It’s effective at reducing the appearance of acne scars. Dermaplaning can help reduce pore size by removing dead skin cells. By removing peach fuzz, dermaplaning also allows serums, creams, and moisturizers to better penetrate the skin. Finally, once you have smoother, peach fuzz-free skin, you’ll discover that your makeup application goes on flawlessly!
Who is a good candidate for dermaplaning?
You may be a good candidate for dermaplaning if you have:
- Sensitive skin.
- Oily skin.
- Fine facial hair.
- A desire to get rid of dead skin cells and peach fuzz.
- An interest in achieving a more glowing complexion.
- A wish to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Hopes of obtaining an evener skin tone.
Is it painful?
Dermaplaning is not painful.
Although dermaplaning involves the use of a small scalpel, it does not cut into your skin. There should be no pain associated with the procedure. Even if the blade accidentally scratches you, it shouldn’t hurt enough to feel discomfort during or after treatment. The only thing that may irritate you is a little bit of tingling in your skin during the process. This should stop quickly once your skin therapist has moved on to another area.
Can I do it myself?
It’s important to note that dermaplaning is a medical procedure and should only be performed by a trained professional. This isn’t something you can do yourself with a razor. You could cut yourself, or cause permanent damage to your skin.
Will it make my hair grow back thicker, faster, or darker?
This is a legitimate concern that many people have, but fear not. Dermaplaning will not make your hair grow back thicker, faster, or darker.
There are two kinds of hair on the human body: vellus and terminal. Vellus hair is the peach fuzz that covers all humans (except those who have a medical condition called congenital atrichia). whereas terminal hairs are the thick hairs that grow on various parts of our bodies (eyebrows, scalp).
Because dermaplaning only removes vellus hair and not terminal hair, it can’t possibly change its rate or darkness of growth. Rest assured—your peach fuzz will grow back at the same rate and texture as before!
What about the rest of my body hair? will I have to shave before I go in for a Dermaplane treatment?
There is no need to shave first. In fact, you do not have to remove any body hair before you go for a Dermaplane treatment. Dermaplaning is a facial hair removal procedure. The only thing that you need to do beforehand is make sure that your skin isn’t sunburned or irritated. We also need to understand you are not using any products that could cause your skin to be sensitive during the treatment.
What are the benefits of dermaplaning?
Having dead skin and vellus hair removed will promote cell turnover, which makes the skin glow. The treatment also allows for a deeper absorption of your skincare products. This can make all the difference in delivering those ingredients to the lowest layers of your skin and getting you real results. (That’s why you always want to apply serums, moisturizers, and other creams right after cleansing.)
Plus dermaplaning leaves you with an even canvas as far as texture goes—something that can be especially beneficial if you’re aging and starting to see some fine lines on your face. Your foundation will go on smoother, too!
With each use, dermaplaning results in less acne breakouts because it’s removing the top layer of dead skin cells where bacteria lives. But remember: exfoliation is just one step of many when it comes to keeping breakouts at bay. You’ll still need to wash your face twice a day, wear sunscreen every day (not just in summer). Avoiding any harsh or stripping products (including alcohol-rich toners) is important. You should follow a consistent routine that works for your specific skin type. (meaning: don’t take advice from a celebrity beauty blogger or an Instagram influencer who has no idea what kind of products are good for people).
What if I have acne scars?
- For some people, it can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- It’s a great treatment for those who have had breakouts in the past and are now left with rough skin texture.
- Newer studies suggest that dermaplaning may actually help to improve acne scarring by increasing collagen production and cell turnover. To make sure that you get optimal results from your dermaplaning treatments, consider combining them with other treatments designed to improve skin texture and address acne scarring.

Dermaplaning comes with a number of benefits and can be an very affordable and cost effective way of achieving glowing skin. This treatment makes your skin look younger by removing dead skin cells. It reduces the appearance of redness because it helps open up blood vessels. It also hydrates the skin by removing dead skin cells and allowing skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin for better hydration. The removal of dry, dull, scaly patches leads to an overall more radiant complexion.
