Dermaplaning in Richmond, VA

Yes, dermaplane is generally safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with active acne, skin infections, or severe rosacea.

Dermaplaning can be performed every 3-4 weeks, depending on your skin type and goals. Regular sessions help maintain smooth, radiant skin by continually removing dead skin cells and promoting healthy cell turnover.

Yes, dermaplane can help improve the appearance of superficial scars, such as those from acne or minor injuries. By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, it promotes smoother skin and encourages cell regeneration, which can help minimize the visibility of scars over time. However, deeper scars may require additional treatments for optimal results.

No, dermaplaning does not cause hair to grow back thicker or darker. The fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) removed during treatment will grow back at the same texture and rate as before. It may feel slightly different initially because it was cut bluntly, but the structure of the hair itself does not change.

After dermaplaning, avoid direct sun exposure, harsh exfoliants, and products with retinoids or acids for at least 24–48 hours. Stick to gentle, hydrating skincare and always wear sunscreen, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays immediately following treatment.
