Dermaplaning — Clinic Care

What is Dermaplaning?

An in-clinic method using a medical blade to physically remove peach fuzz and dead skin from the face

Improves smooth skin texture and makeup adhesion, and enhances absorption of subsequent skincare products.

Overview & characteristics

Dermaplaning is a method known to physically remove vellus hair (peach fuzz) and accumulated dead skin cells by holding a medical-grade blade at an oblique angle against the skin surface. A buildup of dead cells on the surface may cause the skin texture to appear rough and dull, and this technique is discussed as a way to smooth and refine that layer. It is noted for being a physical refinement process rather than a chemical exfoliation.

How to manage

For a few days following the session, the skin may become more sensitive to external stimuli, so paying close attention to sun protection and moisturization is advisable. Immediately after the vellus hair is removed, makeup adherence and the absorption of subsequent skincare products are known to tend to improve. If stinging or redness persists, consulting a dermatologist is recommended.

Good to know alongside

It is frequently discussed alongside exfoliation care, chemical peeling, and skin texture refinement. It is also mentioned in connection with the common misconception that vellus hair will grow back coarser after removal.

Everyday care tips

For a few days immediately after the session, it is best to avoid strong scrubs and products containing acids, and to apply sunscreen generously when going outdoors. If stinging or redness recurs or is severe, consulting a dermatologist is recommended.
