Myth Buster Monday: The Truth About Dermaplaning

Does dermaplaning make your hair grow back thicker and darker?

It’s one of the biggest myths in the beauty world—and today, we’re setting the record straight!

Let’s clear this up once and for all: dermaplaning does not make your hair grow back thicker or darker. That’s simply not how hair growth works.

Dermaplaning gently removes vellus hair—that soft “peach fuzz” that sits on the surface of your skin—along with dead skin cells. The treatment does not affect the hair follicle beneath the skin, which is responsible for determining your hair’s thickness, color, and growth pattern. Because the follicle remains untouched, your hair will grow back exactly the same as before—same texture, same color, same softness.

Why Do People Think It Grows Back Thicker?

When hair begins to grow back after being cut, the tip can feel blunt at first. This may make it seem slightly different, but it’s purely temporary and doesn’t change the structure of the hair itself.

The Real Benefits of Dermaplaning

Beyond busting myths, let’s talk about why so many people love this treatment:

• Exfoliates dead skin cells for a brighter, more radiant complexion.

• Creates a smooth canvas for flawless makeup application.

• Improves product absorption, allowing your favorite skincare to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

• Enhances overall glow, leaving your skin soft, fresh, and luminous.

Dermaplaning is a simple, non-invasive treatment that delivers immediate results—with zero downtime.
