Dermaplaning has become one of the most popular skincare treatments for smooth, radiant skin - and we understand why! But along with its rise comes a number of myths that may leave you unsure about whether it’s the right treatment for you. Let’s clear up these common misconceptions and give you the facts about what dermaplaning really does for your skin.

 

Myth 1: Hair grows back thicker after dermaplaning
This is simply not true. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair, also known as peach fuzz, and it will grow back with the same texture and thickness as before. Dermaplaning doesn’t affect the root of the hair, so the structure remains unchanged.

 

Myth 2: Hair grows back darker
Many people worry that dermaplaning will cause their hair to grow back darker. Since dermaplaning doesn’t change the pigment of your hair follicles, your hair won’t grow back darker—it will look exactly the same as before.

 

Myth 3: Dermaplaning causes more hair to grow
Dermaplaning won’t increase hair growth. It’s an exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz, without affecting how much hair you have or how fast it grows.

 

Myth 4: Dermaplaning damages the skin barrier
Some believe that scraping the skin with a sharp blade will damage the skin’s protective barrier, but dermaplaning, when done correctly, is actually quite gentle. By removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz, dermaplaning promotes a healthy skin barrier by encouraging cell turnover. As long as you follow up with hydrating and soothing products, your skin barrier will remain intact and even benefit from the treatment.

 

Myth 5: Dermaplaning hurts
Dermaplaning is pain-free! The blade is sharp, but it glides gently over the skin without causing pain. Pro tip! Use our Body Oil for that perfect glide. With the right technique, it feels more like a light brushing sensation, leaving your skin smooth and soft.

 

Myth 6: You can’t wear makeup after dermaplaning
This myth likely stems from concerns about the skin being too exposed or sensitive after dermaplaning. The truth is, dermaplaning actually creates a smooth canvas that enhances both skincare and makeup application. In fact, many people love how their foundation and concealer glide on after dermaplaning because it helps products blend more seamlessly, giving you a flawless finish.
