Yes, when performed by a trained esthetician after a consultation. We avoid dermaplaning over active cystic acne, open wounds, or severe inflammation. For sensitive or reactive skin we may recommend a gentler alternative or a patch test first.

The Express Dermaplane service typically takes about 30 minutes for returning clients, covering a double cleanse, dermaplaning, hydrating mask, and finishing products. New client consultations may take longer; arriving a few minutes early helps keep appointments on schedule.

Most clients benefit from dermaplane every four to six weeks to maintain smoothness and glow. Your esthetician will recommend frequency based on hair growth, skin sensitivity, and treatment goals. Allow skin recovery and consistent SPF use between visits.

No—dermaplaning does not change hair texture, thickness, or color. It removes vellus hair at the skin surface, creating softer regrowth that feels finer. Any perceived change is due to smoother skin and immediate contrast after treatment.

Avoid heavy exfoliants, retinoids, chemical peels, and direct sun exposure for 48 hours. Use gentle cleansers, hydrating products, and broad-spectrum SPF. This helps protect the freshly exposed skin and minimizes irritation or sensitivity after dermaplaning.

You can wear makeup right away if desired, though many clients prefer to wait a few hours to let finishing products absorb. If wearing makeup, use gentle, non-comedogenic formulas and ensure SPF application if you'll be outdoors.
