Is Dermaplaning Safe for Women with Tan or Olive Skin Color? I'm a 32-year-old hispanic woman, and I have a little sun damage, fine lines, and some skin discoloration. My dermatologist recommends Dermaplaning, but I'm not sure if the procedure is safe for me. Will it work for my skin type? I'd like to learn more about it.

A: Dermaplaning is safe for any skin type Dermaplaning is safe for any skin type. Deeper treatments by laser or peels should be avoided by some patients with darker complexions. Sunscreen is mandatory to help avoid pigmentation problems after any exfoliating treatment. The patients in my office have had extremely rewarding results with dermaplaning and is a favorite treatment of my wife and daughter alike. Best regards!

Dermaplane and Hair Growth Does Dermaplane increase hair growth on the face?

A: Dermaplaning and hair growth Dermaplaning is simply the removal of superficial skin cells and hair on the surface of the skin. This does not cause any excess hair growth as you are not affecting the actual hair follicle. It leaves your face smooth, supile, and rejuvenated. It is especially helpful for patients who are using bleaching treatments for pigmentation problems as it allows the product to penetrate the barrier of the skin. All products will actually be more effective.
