Dermaplaning Maintenance Recommendations
- Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild cleanser to cleanse the treated area without harsh scrubbing.

- Avoid Harsh Products: Refrain from using abrasive skincare products or treatments that may irritate the freshly exfoliated skin.
- Regular Moisturizing: Keep the skin hydrated by applying a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer regularly.
- Avoid Direct Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure, and if unavoidable, wear protective clothing and sunscreen.
Dermaplaning Maintenance Schedule
- Initially, frequent sessions may be recommended, possibly every 3 to 4 weeks, to achieve desired results.
- As skin health improves, maintenance sessions may be spaced out, occurring every 4 to 6 weeks.
- Depending on individual needs and preferences, some individuals may opt for ongoing maintenance sessions every 6 to 8 weeks to sustain the benefits of dermaplaning.
Dermaplaning FAQs
Dermaplaning is generally safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, individuals with active acne may need to postpone treatment.
A typical dermaplaning session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes, making it a quick and convenient procedure.
No, dermaplaning does not cause hair to grow back thicker. The treatment involves removing fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin, but it does not affect the hair follicle or alter the hair's texture. The regrowth appears the same as it did before the treatment—soft and fine. Dermaplaning is a safe and effective method for exfoliating the skin and achieving a smoother complexion without impacting the thickness or color of hair.
