Dermaplane Facial

FAQ

• Will dermaplaning make my hair grow back thicker or darker?

  No. Vellus hair grows back at the same rate and the same texture it had before. The blade trims the hair at the surface, so the follicle is untouched and the regrowth pattern does not change.

• Does it hurt or cause cuts?

  It should feel like light, controlled brushing across the skin. Most patients describe it as relaxing. Minor nicks are uncommon when the blade is sterile and the skin is held taut by an experienced clinician, which is the standard at every Cienega location.

• Is it safe for sensitive skin or darker skin tones?

  Yes for most patients. Because dermaplaning uses no heat and no aggressive chemicals, there is no risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Your clinician will assess your skin first and reschedule if there is an active acne or rosacea flare that day.

• How much downtime is there?

  Little to none. You may notice a light pink flush right after treatment, which fades within an hour. Avoid heavy workouts, heat, and at-home exfoliants for 24 hours, and wear SPF daily. Most patients head straight back to work or dinner.

• How often should I book?

  Every four to six weeks is the sweet spot. That cadence lines up with natural cell turnover and vellus hair regrowth, so the result feels consistent without over-exfoliating.

• Can I combine dermaplane with other treatments?

  Yes. It pairs especially well with a light enzyme peel, a hydrating mask, or LED light therapy. Your clinician will recommend the combination that fits your skin that day. Combinations like microneedling are usually scheduled on separate visits.
