Dermaplaning provides many anti-aging effects. It exfoliates the skin with a special instrument—typically a medical-grade scalpel—that exfoliates the skin and removes unwanted hair. Dermaplaning is also said to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, increase skincare product absorption, and make makeup application easier and smoother. After a dermaplaning treatment, women with darker hair on their face will see an instant improvement in skin brightness. Removal of vellus hair, or peach fuzz, also helps to reduce occurrence of acne because without hair it is more difficult for bacteria and oils to get trapped on the skin’s surface.
