Myths about dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a form of manual exfoliation that involves using a small, sharp blade to gently scrape away dead skin cells and fine facial hair. Here are a few common myths about dermaplaning:

  1. Myth: Dermaplaning will make facial hair grow back thicker. Truth: This is not true. Dermaplaning only removes the fine, vellus hair on the face and does not affect the growth or texture of the hair.

  2. Myth: Dermaplaning is only for women. Truth: Dermaplaning is suitable for both men and women and can be used to improve the texture of the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

  3. Myth: Dermaplaning will make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Truth: While it's true that dermaplaning removes the outer layer of skin, it does not make the skin more sensitive to the sun. However, it is still important to use sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

  4. Myth: Dermaplaning can only be done by a skincare professional. Truth: While professional dermaplaning is a safe and effective option, there are also at-home dermaplaning kits available for use. However, it's important to follow the instructions carefully and use a sterilized blade to avoid any injury or infection.

  5. Myth: Dermaplaning will cause an excessive amount of redness and swelling. Truth: Dermaplaning is a gentle procedure and may cause only mild redness and swelling that typically subsides within a few hours.

It's always a good idea to  patch test first before undergoing any kind of beauty treatments. They can help you determine if dermaplaning is a suitable option for your skin type and provide guidance on how to use it safely and effectively.
