What Is a Dermaplaning Tool?

A dermaplaning tool is a handheld device with a fine, surgical-style blade designed to gently exfoliate the top layer of skin. It removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz (vellus hair), leaving your face ultra-smooth and glowing.

This pro-level exfoliation technique helps improve product absorption, makeup application, and overall skin texture. When done regularly, it can also minimize the look of fine lines and dark spots.

What Does a Dermaplaning Tool Do?

Dermaplaning tools resurface the skin by removing:

• Dead skin buildup that dulls your glow
• Fine facial hair (aka peach fuzz)
• Rough texture caused by dryness or congestion
• Barrier buildup that blocks product absorption

The result? Smooth, brighter, more even-looking skin—instantly.

How to Use a Dermaplaning Tool

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Cleanse your face with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser. Pat dry.
2. Hold the dermaplaning tool at a 45-degree angle.
3. Glide in short, gentle strokes across clean, dry skin. Don’t use on wet skin.
4. Avoid lips, eyelids, and any areas with active breakouts or irritation.
5. Follow with your TCA Face Peel, EGF Serum, or moisturizer.

How Often Should You Dermaplane?

Once a week is plenty. Over-exfoliating can irritate your skin and damage your barrier. If you’re using a TCA peel afterward, give yourself a few days to recover in between.

Is It Safe to Use a Dermaplaning Tool at Home?

Yes—if you’re using the right tool and technique. Our Dermaplaning Tool is designed by an aesthetician and features an ergonomic handle and safety guard to mimic professional results, minus the spa appointment.

Best Products to Use After Dermaplaning

After exfoliating, your skin is more absorbent—so this is the perfect time to layer on targeted treatments:

• TCA Multi-Acid Face Peel: Gently resurfaces to brighten and fade dark spots.
• EGF Activating Serum: Helps repair and regenerate skin post-exfoliation.
• Microbiome Moisturizer: Hydrates and supports barrier recovery.

FAQs

Does dermaplaning make hair grow back thicker?
No. Peach fuzz will grow back at the same rate and texture—it just feels different because it was cut bluntly.

Can I dermaplane if I have acne?
Avoid active breakouts. Dermaplaning can spread bacteria and worsen inflammation. Try our High Frequency Tool first to calm breakouts.

Is dermaplaning good for aging skin?
Absolutely. As we age, cell turnover slows down. Dermaplaning helps speed up renewal and boosts the effects of skincare.
