What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a simple and safe procedure for deep exfoliation the epidermis. An added benefit of this procedure is ridding the skin of fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). Dermaplaning is most often used on patients with rough or dry skin, superficial hyperpigmentation, mild acne scarring, or fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment results in a more refined, smooth, “glowing” appearance. All skin types, even the most sensitive skin types such as clients with Rosacea can benefit from Dermaplaning.
Who Can Perform Dermaplaning?
A licensed esthetician who has been professionally trained can perform the treatment.
Once The Vellus Hair (peach fuzz) Is Removed Will It Grow Back Thicker?
No, this is physiologically impossible. The soft, fine vellus hair will grow back slowly, usually in about 4 weeks. There are two types of hair that grow on our bodies; Vellus hair is the thin, fine, soft hair that typically covers the entire body, terminal hair is the course hair that grows on the head, face in men, under arms, legs and pubic areas. Dermaplaning, laser, or any other depilatory form of hair removal cannot alter the type of hair grown in any given area.
Can Dermaplaning Cause The Skin To Bleed?
Scraping, nicks, and small cuts in the skin are possible, but rare, and can cause slight bleeding like that of a paper cut. It is very important to have a licensed esthetician who is properly trained to perform the treatment in a medical spa.
