What is Dermaplane?
The word “derma” refers to the skin, while “plane” means to make a surface smooth. Dermaplane refers to the smoothening of the skin to give it an even texture. Dermaplane removes dead skin from the top layers of the skin. Unlike exfoliation, it requires using a scalpel-like device to get rid of the top layer of the skin.

Dermaplaning promises to leave you with smooth and glowing skin while also getting rid of wrinkles. You might not need to break the bank to get your dermaplane, as with proper guidance, you can do it at home.
Benefits of dermaplaning
1. It exfoliates the skin and helps to get rid of dead skin cells. Dermaplane is like physical exfoliation because you get to see the extracts from your skin while you’re shaving. After dermaplaning, your skin will be less flaky and smoother to look at and feel.
2. It helps to get rid of peach fuzz. What is peach fuzz? Also known as vellus hair, peach fuzz is the soft hair on our facial skin. Sometimes it gets in the way during the application of makeup products. While the peach fuzz helps reduce sweating on the skin, there is no effect when you get rid of it. Also, peach fuzz makes us have uneven skin tone as it’s a different complexion or makes your skin appear darker. When you remove peach fuzz through dermaplaning, your skincare and makeup products will sit evenly on the skin.
3. It allows your skincare products to absorb better. When you remove dead skin cells through dermaplaning, your skin will be able to allow product penetration.
4. It gives healthier and more radiant skin. Dermaplaning makes your complexion brighter and reduces the appearance of acne scarring.
Side Effects of Dermaplaning

How to dermaplane at home

3. Shave in a downward position and shave your entire face, excluding your hairline and eyebrows.
4. It is advisable not to shave the neck area as it is sensitive and does not have a peach fuzz.
When you are done dermaplaning, apply any fragrance-free moisturizer. You won’t need to exfoliate your freshly dermaplane skin as it will only lead to breakouts and might damage your skin barrier.
