Is Dermaplane NOT recommended for Asian skin, with darker skin tone and dark vellus hair on the face?

Question

I keep hearing mixed review on dermaplane. I am asian skin with darker hair around my face, vellus hair. I am afraid if it will grow back worse, thicker and more?

Falguni Patel, MD, FACOG · Answer

Dermaplaning is recommended for MOST skin types! The only time dermaplaning may not be a good idea is for someone who is having an acne break out. During a dermaplane session your esthetician is removing any vellus hair and dead skin cell build up.

Georges Kaado, MD · Answer

Dermaplaning is an easy procedure where dead skin is removed from the epidermis, as well as vellus hair. Skin appears smoother, lessening the appearance of acne scarring, any sun damage or hyperpigmentation and fine lines and wrinkles. Dermaplaning may be done as a stand alone treatment or to enhance another facial treatment, such as a brightening peel. Dermaplaning does NOT change the texture, color, pattern, etc of hair. The hair will regrow in the exact same way it was before the procedure. All skin types and colors can benefit from this non-invasive treatment.

Thank you for your question in regards to dermaplaning. Skin type is not a concern with dermaplaning. The vellus hairs will not grow back any worse, but maintenance is required to maintain results. 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.

Thank you for your question, Skin tone is not a contraindication for this treatment. Dermaplane is great form of physical exfoliaion. It removes dead skin and vellus hair (peach fuzz). Its done as a stand alone treatment or its a great add on to most procedures. Med Spa Barrington IL
