Get answers to common questions about Dermaplaning.

Dermaplaning can be safe for many sensitive or acne-prone clients when performed by a trained professional. Active inflammatory acne, open lesions, or severe rosacea may require alternative treatments. A consultation and patch assessment ensure appropriate treatment and minimize irritation or complications.

Most Dermaplaning sessions last about 30 to 45 minutes from consultation through treatment, while combined facials or add-ons can extend time up to 60 minutes. Expect a quick, relaxing appointment with immediate, no-downtime results.

Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (peach fuzz) and dead skin cells but does not change hair thickness or growth rate. Hair will grow back naturally over weeks; most clients schedule treatments every four to six weeks to maintain a smooth complexion.

You can usually apply makeup immediately after Dermaplaning since skin is smooth and makeup adheres better. If you experience redness or sensitivity, wait several hours and use gentle, non-irritating products. Always follow your esthetician's personalized aftercare advice.

For most clients, scheduling Dermaplaning every four to six weeks aligns with natural skin cell turnover. Regular treatments improve texture and product effectiveness; your esthetician will recommend a personalized frequency based on skin goals, sensitivity, and response.

Common side effects include mild redness, temporary sensitivity, and increased sun sensitivity. There is minimal downtime, but avoid retinoids, abrasive exfoliants, and direct sun for several days. Wear a broad-spectrum SPF and follow aftercare for optimal healing.
