How Dermaplaning Can Transform Your Skin: Myths & Facts

If you’ve ever wondered how to achieve smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin, dermaplaning might be the answer. This simple yet effective treatment has gained popularity for its ability to exfoliate the skin, remove peach fuzz, and enhance your skincare routine. However, along with its rising popularity, many myths and misconceptions have surfaced.

At The Body Bar, we’re here to set the record straight! Let’s dive into the real benefits of dermaplaning and debunk some of the most common myths.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a medical-grade scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (aka peach fuzz) from the face. This process:

✨ Reveals smoother, brighter skin✨ Helps skincare products penetrate more effectively✨ Creates a flawless base for makeup

It’s safe, painless, and provides instant results with zero downtime.

Myth vs. Fact: What You Need to Know

❌ Myth #1: Dermaplaning Will Make Your Hair Grow Back Thicker & Darker

✅ Fact: This is one of the biggest misconceptions about dermaplaning! The fine vellus hair on your face will not grow back thicker or darker—it will simply return at the same rate and texture as before. Since dermaplaning doesn’t affect the hair follicle or growth cycle, your peach fuzz will remain soft and fine.

❌ Myth #2: Dermaplaning is Only for Certain Skin Types

✅ Fact: Dermaplaning is suitable for almost all skin types, including sensitive skin. It’s especially beneficial for those looking to improve dullness, uneven texture, or dry skin. However, if you have active acne or highly inflamed skin, you may need to wait until breakouts subside before trying dermaplaning.

❌ Myth #3: It’s the Same as Shaving Your Face

✅ Fact: While both involve removing facial hair, dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that goes beyond just hair removal. The medical-grade blade is designed to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells, oil buildup, and debris, leaving your skin silky smooth and glowing.

❌ Myth #4: Dermaplaning Causes Breakouts

✅ Fact: Actually, dermaplaning can help prevent breakouts by removing dead skin cells and excess oil that can clog pores. When done correctly by a trained professional, dermaplaning can leave your skin feeling refreshed and prepped for better product absorption.

❌ Myth #5: The Results Only Last a Few Days

✅ Fact: The results of dermaplaning typically last three to four weeks, depending on your skin type and routine. Since your skin naturally regenerates every 28 days, this treatment fits perfectly into a monthly skincare routine.

❌ Myth #6: It’s a Painful Procedure

✅ Fact: Dermaplaning is completely pain-free and many guests find it relaxing! There’s no scraping or harsh pressure—just light, feather-like strokes to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz.
