Facial hair is natural in men and women, but that doesn't mean it's a welcome guest. If you're dealing with stubborn facial hair or a blanket of peach fuzz, there are multiple techniques to help eliminate it. Maybe you've thought about dermaplaning, but is it the same as shaving? Dermaplaning, sometimes referred to as face shaving, is often misunderstood as it's not the same as shaving your face at home. Before reaching for a razor, here are some things to know about dermaplaning to determine if this popular treatment is right for you.
What Is Dermaplaning and What Can it Do?
Dermaplaning is a popular physical exfoliation treatment that doesn't just rid the skin of unwanted hair; it also encourages skin cell renewal to leave your face looking refreshed. This innovative treatment works several ways to improve the look and health of your complexion. Contrary to popular belief, a close shave does not cause the facial hair to grow back darker or thicker.
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skin treatment carried out by a trained professional. It involves gently scraping dead skin cells away from the face, allowing for new ones to rise to the surface and reveal a brighter, fresher, more youthful appearance. Since this treatment also unclogs pores and removes fine facial hairs, your face is left soft and smooth with a hint of glow. Dermaplaning evenly exfoliates your face, revealing more luminous skin while allowing your skincare to absorb more effectively, so makeup applies more evenly.
What's the Difference Between Dermaplaning and Shaving?
While some may refer to dermaplaning as facial shaving, it's not the same as shaving your face at home with a razor. A professional dermaplaning tool differs from a traditional razor. In-office dermaplaning procedures use a single edge #10R scalpel blade that skims the skin's surface more effectively than a razor. Razor blades contain multiple slanted blades that are duller than those found in a professional dermaplaning kit.
A scalpel provides a much more thorough yet gentle exfoliation, leading to better results than shaving. This treatment also removes fine facial hair. While shaving also effectively removes hair, it doesn't go as far as dermaplaning in terms of exfoliating and renewing the face.
Why Go to a Professional for Dermaplaning?
Unlike shaving, dermaplaning is exclusively performed by professionals. You can't perform professional dermaplaning on your own, and it's best not to attempt to. First, dermaplaning is performed using a sharp, surgical-grade blade, making it a risky business for someone untrained and inexperienced. Second, it involves swift, delicate strokes, which can further the risk of cuts if you aren't adequately trained.
Dermaplaning is performed in an esthetician's office. To achieve the best results and ensure optimal safety, dermaplaning should only be done by professionals who have completed the required dermaplaning classes and training.
