For those with dry or rough skin, dermaplaning is very effective; it also helps with superficial acne scarring or uneven skin tone. It is also beneficial for those with mature or aging skin, as dead skin tends to accumulate with age and the cellular turnover begins to slow. Dermaplaning is considered to be a safe procedure for those who are pregnant or lactating, as it is a physical procedure which does not involve the use of chemical peels. Dermaplanning is not recommended for those with excessive facial hair, as it forms stubble as it grows back, along with causing what are known as razor rashes under the skin and ingrown hairs. People with active acne and particularly oily skin should also avoid the procedure, as it can aggravate the skin which then becomes irritated.
