This is hands-down the most common question we get, so let's put this myth to bed once and for all. Dermaplaning does not change your hair growth – not the texture, not the color, not the thickness. The fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) on your face has a naturally tapered end. When we remove it with dermaplaning, you temporarily see the blunt edge, but the hair follicle itself doesn't change. Your hair will grow back exactly the same as before. Promise.

Most clients see optimal results with monthly dermaplaning facials. Your skin regenerates approximately every 28 days, so this timing allows us to remove the new layer of dead skin cells that has accumulated. Some people with slower cell turnover can go 6-8 weeks between sessions. We'll create a personalized schedule during your consultation, or get you signed up for a monthly facial membership.

Absolutely! Professional dermaplaning is actually gentler than many chemical exfoliants because there are no harsh acids involved. It's purely physical exfoliation performed by trained aestheticians who know how to work with sensitive skin types. Many clients who can't tolerate retinoids or glycolic acid love dermaplaning as their go-to exfoliation method.

Yes! Dermaplaning is one of the few professional skin treatments that's completely safe during pregnancy and nursing. While you're avoiding retinoids, chemical peels, and certain other treatments, you can still maintain amazing skin with regular dermaplaning facials.

While dermaplaning won't eliminate deep acne scars (we'd need different treatments for that), it significantly improves surface texture and makes mild scarring less noticeable. By removing dead skin cells that can make scars appear more pronounced, dermaplaning creates a smoother overall complexion.

For the first 24-48 hours: skip direct sun exposure (SPF is non-negotiable), avoid intense workouts that cause heavy sweating, and pause harsh skincare products like retinoids, acids, or scrubs. We'll go over this with you but honestly, the rules are pretty simple.

We recommend waiting 24 hours before applying makeup to let your skin settle. Trust us, you'll look so good you might not even want to cover up that natural radiance. When you do wear makeup again, you'll be amazed at how smoothly it applies.

Great one! Dermaplaning uses a surgical blade for manual exfoliation and removes facial hair, while our microdermabrasion (facial name: The Smooth Operator) uses diamond tips with suction for deeper exfoliation. Dermaplaning is gentler, removes hair (hello, flawless makeup application), and has zero downtime.

People with active acne breakouts should wait until their skin calms down, as dermaplaning over inflamed areas isn't recommended. Recent sunburn is also a no-go. We'll assess your skin during consultation and keep it real about whether dermaplaning is right for you right now.
