Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Dermaplaning Facial.

Dermaplaning is generally safe for sensitive and most acne-prone skin when performed by a trained esthetician. We assess active breakouts beforehand, avoid treating inflamed acne, and may recommend alternative treatments. Mild redness can occur but usually resolves within a day or two.

Expect a 45 to 60 minute appointment including a double cleanse, targeted dermaplaning, and soothing post-treatment care. Timing varies with skin condition and add-on services; please arrive a few minutes early for consultation and prep.

No, dermaplaning removes vellus 'peach fuzz' but does not change hair follicle structure. Regrowth maintains the same texture and color; hair may appear softer. Treatments are typically repeated every four to six weeks for maintained smoothness.

You can usually wear makeup after your Dermaplaning Facial, but we recommend waiting a few hours to allow the skin barrier to settle. Use gentle, non-irritating products and apply broad-spectrum SPF during daytime to protect newly exposed skin.

For most clients we suggest Dermaplaning Facials every four to six weeks to control vellus hair and maintain smooth skin. Your esthetician will tailor the schedule based on growth rate, skin sensitivity and treatment goals for optimal results.

Side effects are minimal: mild redness, sensitivity, or slight flaking for 24 to 48 hours is common. Avoid retinols, acid exfoliants, and direct sun exposure for several days. Serious complications are rare when performed by a licensed professional.
