Dermaplaning Vs. Shaving
Written by Kerry Benjamin
How the Dermaplaning Tool Differs from a Regular Razor
Don't be fooled—although dermaplaning is sometimes referred to as "facial shaving," a regular razor won't give you the same results. Here's why our Dermaplaning Tool is a game-changer for achieving instantly brighter, smoother skin, and how it stands apart from a typical razor.
1. More Consistent Exfoliation
Dermaplaning is a powerful physical exfoliation method that removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, unveiling a brighter, healthier complexion. It also eliminates peach fuzz, leaving your skin smoother and more radiant. While a regular razor may scrape off some dead skin, it’s inconsistent at best. That’s because razors are designed to remove thicker hair, not dead skin cells. With dermaplaning, your face is evenly exfoliated, allowing skincare products to penetrate deeper and makeup to glide on effortlessly.
2. Gentler on Your Skin
In-office dermaplaning treatments use a single-edge scalpel (#10 blade) to delicately skim the skin’s surface, removing dead skin cells far more effectively than a regular razor. Razors typically feature multiple slanted blades that are much duller, increasing the risk of razor burn, nicks, and irritation. Our Dermaplaning Tool mimics the precise exfoliation of professional treatments while being safe for at-home use, providing a gentler experience than your everyday razor.
3. Built-In Safety Features
Safety is a top priority in the design of our Dermaplaning Tool. It features a single-edge blade wrapped in a beveled plastic guard, ensuring the correct angle for optimal exfoliation without the risk of cuts. This design guides you to use short, feather-light strokes, making the process not only safer but also more effective. The ambidextrous metal handle also gives you better control for a smoother experience compared to the harsher motions typically required with razors.
4. More Precision, Better Results
Razors are built for broad strokes across large areas of the body. In contrast, our Dermaplaning Tool has a slim, precise design that’s crafted specifically for the contours of your face. Want even more precision? Advanced users can switch to our Precision Dermaplaning Blades, which are perfect for sculpting brows, navigating the tricky curves of the nose, and targeting the upper lip for flawless, detailed results.
With our Dermaplaning Tool, you're getting a more refined exfoliation that’s gentler, safer, and far more precise than anything a razor can offer. Ready for a brighter, smoother complexion? Try it for yourself and see the difference.
