Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Dermaplane.

Dermaplane is a manual exfoliation using a sterile blade to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair. Sessions usually take 30–45 minutes, including cleansing and soothing serums. Expect minimal downtime and instant smoother skin that absorbs products better.

Many skin types tolerate Dermaplane well, including sensitive skin when performed gently. We assess acne: avoid treatment during active cystic or inflamed breakouts. A consultation ensures safety and a customized approach at VS Aesthetics.

For most clients we recommend Dermaplane every 4–6 weeks to maintain smoothness and optimal results. Scheduling depends on hair regrowth, skin sensitivity, and treatment goals; your provider will suggest a personalized frequency.

No — Dermaplane does not change hair thickness or growth rate. The blade removes surface hair and dead skin only; regrowth comes back the same texture from the follicle, though it may feel slightly stubbier initially.

Yes, Dermaplane can be combined with facials or milder chemical treatments when scheduled appropriately. Avoid aggressive peels the same day; your technician will recommend timing to maximize benefits and minimize irritation.

Aftercare includes daily broad-spectrum SPF, gentle cleansers, and hydrating serums. Avoid active exfoliants, retinoids, and prolonged sun exposure for 48–72 hours. Follow your technician’s product recommendations for calm, long-lasting results.
