Dermaplaning treatments are just one of the things we do in a long list of ordeals our body suffers for beauty. Whether it’s plucking or waxing our bodily hair away or fillers to add a bit of plumpness to the skin, the treatments we endure can tend to become painful.

But not all forms of beauty need to have some degree of pain to show for their results. The answer is no, the dermaplaning treatment has been absolutely soaring in popularity since the COVID lockdown has passed and the treatment itself is perfect for leaving your skin looking at its best, with no pain.

If you’ve never heard of dermaplaning before, don’t worry, it’s nothing to do with transatlantic travel, it’s simply a form of exfoliating facial treatment perform by a professional with a small razor-sharp tool. It comprises of a special blading technique that many dermatologists hail as one way ticket to smoother and brighter skin.

What is dermaplaning?

From a quick Google search, you might find a lot of images of surgical scalpels out there on the internet but this isn’t intended as something to put you off the treatment, it’s actually one of the least invasive treatments available as it isn’t performed on anything below the surface of the skin.

Dermaplaning is performed using a specialised surgical blade to remove the fine vellus hair (more commonly known as peach fuzz) and the outer layer of dead skin. This gives some extremely satisfying results (both visually and to the touch) but it also has some huge benefits for the texture of your skin, not to mention the fact that you’ll be thankful for seeing what has come off your face.

What about the benefits of a dermaplaning treatment?

The reason that the majority of the public search for a dermaplaning treatment is simple, they want to remove the peach fuzz from the surface of the skin, but the benefits of dermaplaning are more than just a fuzz free face. As most aestheticians or dermatologists will tell you, dermaplaning works wonders for your complexion and not only does it help your skin to look brighter, it also helps to actively fight the signs of breakouts by removing any dead skin cells that are clogging your pores or follicles.

The treatment also actively promotes the effects of any topical products like creams or ointments that are applied to your skin after undergoing treatment as they are then able to penetrate deeper into your skin. It can even provide benefits to when you apply makeup to your skin and lets it apply to the skin more smoothly, giving a more even finish all over.

Will dermaplaning make my hair grow back thicker?

From the very first time we’re taught how to use a razor to shave any form of body hair, we’re told “shaving it off will only make it grow back thicker than it was” so naturally, you’d expect the same with dermaplaning right? Well, it turns out that it’s more fiction than fact with peach fuzz hair. The dermaplaning treatment cuts away the dead part of the hair and doesn’t actually have any effect on the cells and follicles that are growing so doesn’t stimulate any new growth.

The one issue that you may encounter though is that when a new hair forms, it has a thinner end and thicker trunk that tapers as it goes down. When you cut the hair and removed the tapered end, the remaining trunk has a thicker blunt edge which can leave it feeling more obvious to the touch.
