Frequently Asked Questions
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. At Purefico MedSpa in Cornelius, NC, dermaplaning reveals smoother, brighter skin, improves product absorption, and creates a flawless canvas for makeup application with immediate results and zero downtime.
How does dermaplaning work?
Dermaplaning works by carefully gliding a sterile blade across the skin's surface at a 45-degree angle to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair. This physical exfoliation reveals fresh, healthy skin beneath, stimulates cell turnover, and allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively. The treatment is painless and takes only 30 minutes.
Will my hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
No, this is a common myth. it removes vellus hair (soft, fine peach fuzz), not terminal hair. Vellus hair grows back at the same rate, texture, and color as before—it does not become darker, thicker, or more noticeable. Many Lake Norman area patients love how smooth their skin feels and how flawlessly makeup applies after dermaplaning.
Is dermaplaning safe for all skin types?
Yes, this treatment is safe for most skin types and tones, including sensitive skin. However, it's not recommended for active acne, extremely sensitive skin, or certain skin conditions. At Purefico MedSpa , we evaluate your skin during consultation to determine if dermaplaning is appropriate for you. The treatment is particularly beneficial for dry, dull, or mature skin.
How often should I get dermaplaning?
Most patients benefit from dermaplaning every 3-4 weeks, which aligns with the skin's natural cell turnover cycle. Regular treatments maintain smooth, glowing skin and optimize the effectiveness of your skincare products. Many patients at Purefico MedSpa in Cornelius schedule monthly dermaplaning as part of their ongoing skincare maintenance routine.
What are the benefits of dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning benefits include immediate smoother skin texture, brighter complexion, removal of peach fuzz for flawless makeup application, improved skincare product absorption, reduced appearance of fine lines, unclogged pores, and enhanced skin radiance. The treatment provides instant gratification with no downtime, making it perfect before special events or as regular maintenance.
Can I combine dermaplaning with other treatments?
Yes! it pairs beautifully with chemical peels, facials, and LED light therapy. Removing dead skin and hair first allows these treatments to penetrate more deeply for enhanced results. At Purefico MedSpa, we often combine dermaplaning with HydraFacial or light chemical peels for comprehensive skin rejuvenation. We'll create a customized treatment plan based on your goals.
