Dermaplaning can reduce the appearance of some types of acne scars on your face, particularly ice pick scars, which are depressed below the skin's surface. It might also improve areas where there are textural issues, such as enlarged pores and uneven texture on certain parts of the face. Dermaplaning may also reduce breakouts on your face by removing excess dead skin cells, which can clog pores, but it's not guaranteed to get rid of acne. If you have stubborn acne that doesn't respond well to traditional treatments like topical creams or antibiotics, a dermaplaning treatment might help reduce the appearance of scars associated with breakouts. However, this should only be done by a professional since infections and side effects are possible if not performed correctly.
