Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation procedure. It uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape off the top layer of dead skin cells, as well as any fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) on the face. This process reveals a brighter, smoother complexion and can be performed on all skin types.
One common concern about dermaplaning is that it may make facial hair grow back thicker and darker. However, this is not the case. Dermaplaning simply removes the dead skin cells and vellus hair from the surface of the skin. It does not affect the growth cycle of hair follicles, so there is no risk of making facial hair grow back thicker or darker.
