Can dermaplaning get rid of five o clock shadow on my upper lip? (photos)

September 23, 2016
Asked By:Thaley91 in Indianapolis, IN

It's very superficial but it bothers me a lot, it seems like it even randomly gets darker. It's mainly annoying because my skin is otherwise nice then there's this random grayish "shadow " on my upper lip. Someone said dermaplaning can get rid of it perhaps with chemical peel but I want to know for sure
