Thank you for your question. We recommend our patients to get a dermaplane every 4 weeks (once a month). Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation. It works to remove dead skin and vellus hair (peach fuzz). Its a great add on treatment or all on its own. MedSpa Barrington IL
Dermabrasion will not remove hair follicles, it just shaves them at the skin surface along with dead skin cells to soften your skin and remove some surface blemishes.
If you would like the hair removed then laser hair removal would be your best bet!
Hope this helps and good luck!
Thank you for your question.I would recommend the use of a Hydroquinone to help lighten the area above your upper lip. I have seen it work very well in patients who have darker skin and may not respond to laser treatments.
