Myths about derma planning:

1. Dermaplaning will result in making the hair grow back darker:

This is the most common myth among women across the world. The majority of women who have darker vellus hair or facial hair would have noticed the darkness of the hair before the procedure. After the procedure, as the dead skin cells and hairs are removed the skin will look brighter and more glowing than before. Now, as the hair grows back, it will look darker than before because of the glowing skin.

2Dermaplaning will result in making your hair to grow back Thicker:

The procedure will eliminate the facial hair from the surface level of the skin, without affecting the actual hair follicle. After the hair grows back, it will grow as a blunt edge which will give you a feeling of thickness, which is not the case. If you look at hair after it is grown more it will have the same feel as before as facial hair can’t grow back thicker. Almost every woman has two types of hairs termed as vellus hair and terminal hair. Vellus hair is the one located on the face which cannot change into terminal hair, which will not grow thicker again after the Dermaplaning procedure.

3. Dermaplaning is a painful procedure:

Dermaplaning is a painless procedure that will not need any cream for numbing. The majority of people who have undergone the treatment have told that it is similar to shaving the legs or armpits. The trained persons will clean and dry the skin and by pulling the skin taut by a hand and with the help of a sterile tiny blade will perform short and swift strokes. This will eliminate all the dead skills and small hairs from the uppermost layers of the skin without causing any pain whatsoever.

4. Dermaplaning will cause breakouts:

The fact is exactly contrasting as Dermaplaning will not cause any breakouts but it will avoid it from happening. As it will remove all the dead skin cells and dirt, it will keep the skin clear. If you are taking any other skin treatments or applying any skincare products, this procedure will help for improved penetration of products with improved results. As the dead skin cells are eliminated from the skin, all the components in the skincare products will be absorbed more effectively, quickly and deeply which will result in new cell generation and termination of bacteria.

5. What will be the downtime after the Dermaplaning treatment?

As the procedure is safe with no chemicals involved, people will have no downtime and can return to their regular works on the same day. People who get the procedure done constantly, speak about the non-complex nature of the treatment and its baby-skin resulting benefits. The procedure will give you very immediate outcomes and with no side-effects, this procedure has become immensely popular.

What are the things to take care?

The only thing to be taken care of is that the skin will be highly sensitive post the treatment and any exposure to sunlight make it look pinkish. Hence it is advised to avoid extreme sunlight for a day and applying a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more to decrease the risk of getting hyperpigmentation from the sunlight exposure.

Who are good candidates for Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning does not produce the best results for some. Individuals who have dark and thick facial hair or who have sensitive and acne-affected skin must stay away from the Dermaplaning procedure. It is also observed that people who have an overreaction to hyperpigmentation should also refrain from the treatment. If such people still undergo the procedure, then there are chances of developing open acne wounds which may result in marks and also discolored skin. If the skin is hypersensitive then they may also lead to rashes and sores which may lead to skin complications. So, it is very important to carry out this process with an expert professional.
