Questions about Dermaplaning

How is this treatment performed?

It is safely performed by using a sterile surgical blade called dermatome. The dermatome is carefully stroked over the skin in even motions while holding the area of the skin taut.

This treatment is extremely safe, painlessly removes dry, dead surface skin to reveal new, healthy skin cells. It poses no serious side effects and patients can resume normal activities immediately following treatment.

If you are ‘blading” the skin, won’t the hairs on the face grow back thicker?

No. It is physiologically not possible for your vellous hair on your face to grow back thicker. Vellous (tiny translucent blonde hair) when cut or removed will grow back the same. The structure of the hair does not become damaged, therefore it is impossible to alter.

What areas of the skin can be treated?

Dermaplaning is only performed on the face. We do not blade the nose, eye lids, neck or chest. We only recommend this treatment on the face only.

Dermaplaning can be performed every 3 – 4 weeks (or once a month), which coincides with the normal skin cycle of approximately 30 days. It is not recommended treating the skin more often than that.
