Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Dermaplaning.

Yes when performed by our licensed estheticians. We'll evaluate active acne, inflammation, and medications during consultation; Dermaplaning is often safe for sensitive skin with modifications. Contraindications like active cystic acne or open lesions require alternative treatments to avoid irritation.

Most sessions last 30 to 45 minutes depending on consultation, additional treatments, and client sensitivity. Your esthetician will perform a skin analysis, gently dermaplane, and finish with tailored serums and SPF to soothe and protect skin post-treatment.

No. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair at the surface, not the follicle. Hair regrowth returns with the same texture and thickness. Regular treatments may make skin feel smoother, but will not make hair coarser or darker over time.

You can apply sunscreen immediately; we recommend mineral SPF and gentle products. Makeup is generally safe right after treatment, though many clients prefer waiting a few hours for serums to fully absorb and to reduce any temporary sensitivity.

We recommend Dermaplaning every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain smooth texture and consistent exfoliation. Your esthetician will personalize timing based on skin type, hair growth, and your long-term skin goals established during the consultation.

Side effects are minimal—mild redness or sensitivity for a few hours is common. No significant downtime is required. Avoid exfoliating products and direct sun for 48 hours; use SPF and follow post-care instructions provided by your esthetician for optimal healing.
