Dermaplaning vs shaving. which one is better?

We all are aware of the rise of trends in the beauty industry and how they enhance and bring the inner glow to the surface. With advancements in technology, various beauty treatments remove all the dullness from your face. Chemical peels and scrubs are good exfoliants and are the most popular but to go one step further, one can opt for dermaplaning. This is the middle line between shaving and exfoliation. It not only exfoliates the face but also removes the fine facial hair. If you are wondering if your hair will grow back darker or more coarse then do not worry. They will not. Our professional technicians have done their research and have answered all your queries in this blog post.

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is an intersection between the usual shaving and exfoliation. In addition to removing the soft peach fuzz from the face, it also removes a thin layer of dead skin cells. Dermatologists have started recommending dermaplaning as an alternative to many beauty treatments as it is less invasive compared to the rest. If you get dermaplaning done frequently, you will see a noticeable difference in your acne scars fading away.

This treatment will also result in a lighter complexion while allowing your skin care products to penetrate deeper into the skin and your makeup to become flawless. Though we would suggest everyone to get dermaplaning done, but those with active acne and excessive oil should avoid it. The blade can irritate the acne and cause the bacteria to spread to other parts of the face too. This can cause it to grow and make acne worse. Dermaplaning can be done to avoid breakouts and pimples as by removing the top layer of dead skin cells, the penetration of all the products is better.

Another common question that we face is, whether dermaplaning can cause the hair to grow back darker. The answer is no. This myth is the most common among all the people. Shaving your hair will in no way make your hair grow back darker or faster. It is believed to be true because you remove the hair from the surface and not from the root. Thus, it can give the illusion of hair growing back darker but that is just not the case. It will take almost a week for your hair to begin to grow back and it might feel a little prickly but if you let it be, it will grow back to its original state like before the treatment.

Now answering the question of which one is better?

The key difference between shaving and dermaplaning is the tools used. Dermaplaning uses a surgical scalpel to be close to the skin and remove the dead skin cells better but a facial razor will remove the hair in a little more invasive fashion. We would suggest you go with dermaplaning as it is better to have a professional work so closely to your face. Plus dermaplaning has tons of benefits.
