Why I Want to Answer Your Dermaplaning Questions
Dermaplaning is a gentle yet effective treatment, but it often comes with questions and misconceptions. I believe understanding what dermaplaning is—and what it isn’t—helps you feel confident and comfortable before your appointment. Every skin type is different, and knowing whether dermaplaning is right for you is an important part of achieving safe, beautiful results.
By answering these common questions, my goal is to educate, set clear expectations, and help you make informed decisions about your skincare. When you understand the process and proper aftercare, you’re better prepared to enjoy the benefits of smoother, brighter, healthier-looking skin.

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). This leaves the skin smoother, brighter, and allows skincare products to absorb more effectively.
