Dermaplaning gets asked about constantly, usually alongside one very persistent myth. Let's clear that up first.
What Dermaplaning Actually Does
Using a surgical-grade blade, I gently scrape away dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of your skin. The result is instantly smoother, brighter skin and makeup that applies like glass afterward.
The Myth That Won't Die
No, your peach fuzz will not grow back thicker or darker. Vellus hair doesn't respond to shaving or dermaplaning that way — it grows back exactly the same as before. This is genuinely one of the most well-documented skincare myths out there.
Who Benefits Most
Anyone wanting an instant glow, smoother makeup application, or better product absorption. It also pairs beautifully as a pre-treatment before a mask or peel, since it clears the way for deeper penetration.
Aftercare That Actually Matters
Your skin will be more sun-sensitive for a few days, so SPF is non-negotiable — especially living here in Central Florida. Skip heavy exfoliants for about a week and let your skin recover.
