How often should you dermaplane your face?

Thank you for your question in regards to dermaplaning. It is typically recommended to dermaplane every 4-6 weeks. Dermaplaning to often can cause your skin to dry out as it is over exfoliating your skin. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Hello, my name is Ranen at Aesthetic skin. That’s a great and very nuanced question — and you’re absolutely right that there’s a lot of confusion between dermaplaning as a professional treatment and dermaplaning as at-home exfoliation. If your skin stays smooth, hydrated, and not tight, red, or flaky afterward — once a week is likely fine. If you ever feel stingy when applying moisturizer or notice dryness around nose/cheeks, your barrier is telling you to space it out to every 2–3 weeks.

I would recommend being seen by a professional esthetician especially when using a surgical blade to your skin. Dermaplaning once a week may cause over exfoliation which can damage the skin barrier and cause sensitivity. I would suggest seeing a licensed esthetician every 3 to 4 weeks for a dermaplane session to allow your skin to resurface.

Great question! Dermaplaning is a deep exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and vellus or baby hairs from the face. The frequency of dermaplaning depends on your skin type and condition. Most people will have it done once a month, which allows your skin time to resurface in between sessions.

Thank you for your question, It depends on the person. Typically most clients like to get it done once a month. Not only does it help to remove the dead skin that builds up every month but most clients notice their hair growth is every 30 days. Med Spa Barrington IL 

Great question. First, I do not recommend performing dermaplaning to yourself at home for risk of injury. Dermaplaning, microdermabrasion and peels should not be done too often because you need to allow your skin time to regenerate. If you over-exfoliate your skin will dry out causing premature fine-lines/ wrinkles and patchy dry areas of skin. I recommend getting a good exfoliating facial every 4-6 weeks which allows time for cell turnover and for vellus hairs to grow again. Do not forget to moisturize and apply SPF after your facial!
