What you need to know about the dermaplaning facial as a treatment for rejuvenation
Dermaplaning is one of many facial services available at Springs Aesthetics of Colorado Springs, Colorado. In fact, this treatment is becoming more popular over time. Dr. John Burroughs and his team of professionals often speak to patients about this facial rejuvenation treatment. Many questions are asked, many of which we can talk about now! Let’s see what dermaplaning is and some frequently asked questions about it.
What exactly is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a simple, noninvasive beauty treatment in which a professional uses a special, sterile blade to gently exfoliate your skin’s surface, removing dead skin cells and vellus hair (also known as peach fuzz). The result? Smooth, glowing skin that feels smooth and velvety!
Does dermaplaning hurt?
Not at all! It’s completely pain-free. Think of it like a very gentle razor glide over your skin. It may feel relaxing, and you can rest on the treatment table while dermaplaning works its magic!
Will my hair grow back thicker and darker if I dermaplane?
Absolutely not. In fact, that’s a common myth! The peach fuzz removed during dermaplaning will grow back as before, soft and light. Hormones, not shaving or dermaplaning, dictate hair’s texture and growth.

Who is dermaplaning good for?
Almost everyone is a proper candidate for dermaplaning. Dermaplaning is especially great for those with dry, dull skin or anyone looking to up their glow game. However, it is best to consult with Dr. Burroughs first to determine candidacy if you are dealing with active acne or extremely sensitive skin.
How often should I get dermaplaning done?
Dermaplaning every three to four weeks is ideal for maintaining smooth, radiant skin. This gives your skin time to replenish and keeps that healthy glow going strong!
Can I wear makeup right after a dermaplaning session?
Absolutely! Makeup applies like a dream after dermaplaning. Your skin is so smooth, it’s like the perfect canvas. But if you’re post-treatment, keep your skincare game strong and use gentle, non-comedogenic products.
Is dermaplaning safe to try at home?
Technically, it can be done at home with the right tools and care, but we highly recommend leaving it to the pros for the best results and safety. Professionals know how to avoid nicks, uneven exfoliation, and irritation!
What’s the biggest benefit of dermaplaning?
Besides, how amazingly soft does your skin feel? It’s the instant glow! Plus, getting rid of the dead skin cells and peach fuzz helps your skincare products penetrate better, and your makeup goes on smoother. Think of it as the ultimate exfoliation, and cosmeceuticals will penetrate better, and your skin can “breathe” better. It’s a total win-win!
