Get answers to common questions about Add Dermaplaning.

Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, especially dry or textured skin. It's not recommended for active acne, open lesions, or highly inflamed rosacea. Your clinician will assess your skin during consultation to ensure dermaplaning is a suitable add-on.

Results typically last three to four weeks as the skin naturally renews and hair regrows. Scheduling regular dermaplaning every four to six weeks maintains smoothness. Individual hair growth and skin type can shorten or extend visible results.

You can usually apply makeup after dermaplaning, but we recommend waiting a few hours to allow the skin to calm. Use gentle, non-irritating products and always apply broad-spectrum SPF the same day to protect renewed skin.

Dermaplaning may cause mild, short-lived redness but rarely causes lasting irritation. It can slightly increase sun sensitivity, so apply broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoid aggressive exfoliants or prolonged sun exposure for several days post-treatment.

Most clients receive dermaplaning every four to six weeks to maintain smooth skin and maximize facial results. Your provider may adjust frequency based on hair growth, skin sensitivity, and personalized treatment goals.

Contraindications include active cystic acne, open wounds, recent chemical peels, or certain medications that thin the skin. Please disclose retinoid use, blood thinners, or medical skin conditions during consultation so we can recommend safe options.
