Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Dermaplaning Exfoliation & Hair Removal.

Yes — when performed by our licensed estheticians, dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Contraindications include active acne, open lesions, or certain skin conditions. A consultation will determine if this treatment is right and safe for your complexion.

No — dermaplaning removes vellus hair without changing its structure. Regrowth returns with the same texture and thickness as before. Results typically last three to six weeks depending on individual hair growth and skincare routine; repeated treatments remain safe when spaced appropriately.

Sessions usually take 30 to 45 minutes, including consultation and post-treatment moisturizing. Timing varies based on add-ons like chemical peels or masks. Expect immediate smoothness and minimal redness that typically subsides within a few hours to a day.

We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before heavy makeup to allow skin barrier recovery. Light mineral makeup may be applied gently after a few hours, but avoid irritating products and ensure sunscreen is used to protect the newly exposed skin.

Most clients schedule dermaplaning every three to six weeks to maintain smooth skin and manage vellus hair. Your provider will recommend frequency based on skin type, goals, and any concurrent treatments like peels or lasers for optimal timing.

Common effects include mild redness or temporary sensitivity that resolves within hours to a day. Rare complications are irritation or abrasion if contraindications are ignored. Proper aftercare, sun protection, and professional technique minimize risks and promote quick recovery.
