Commonly asked questions

What are the benefits of dermaplaning?

Will shaving my face make my hair grow back thicker?

What are the side effects of dermaplaning?

The results can vary for everyone, but realistically, you can expect to see smoother skin, zero peach fuzz (until it grows back, of course), and slightly brighter-looking skin. And because you’re removing all your dead skin cells, your skincare products will better penetrate your skin when you apply them, making them all the more effective.

What are the side effects of dermaplaning?

In the hands of a professional, dermaplaning is safe for all skin types, says Dr. Doft, especially those with sun damage, fine lines, dry patches, and dull skin. But, of course, there are caveats: If you have highly reactive, sensitive skin (like those with rosacea or keratosis pilaris), you may want to pass on this one, since it might irritate your skin. Same goes for anyone with inflamed acne—unsurprisingly, sliding a sharp scalpel over your zits can irritate them and worsen existing breakouts.

Will shaving my face make my hair grow back thicker?

Contrary to what you’ve been told, dermaplaning will not make your hair grow back thicker or darker. Deveny explains that once your hair begins to grow back, it might feel different because the hair was cut straight across, but it’s actually the same texture as it was before and it will grow at the same speed.

Will dermaplaning cause breakouts?

Will dermaplaning make my skin more sensitive to the sun?

Will shaving my face make my hair grow back thicker?

Quite the opposite, actually. A buildup of dead skin can clog your pores and hair follicles, which can not only cause pimples but also block your skincare products from penetrating the skin, which is why exfoliation is essential for maintaining an even, healthy glow. But, like I said, if you already have an existing breakout, you’ll unfortunately need to sit this treatment out.

How often do I need dermaplaning treatments?

Will dermaplaning make my skin more sensitive to the sun?

Since this is a deeply exfoliating treatment, Dr. Doft recommends waiting at least a month between appointments, although some patients with sensitive skin can limit their treatments to even once a season.

Will dermaplaning make my skin more sensitive to the sun?

Post-exfoliation, your skin will be especially susceptible to the sun, so if you don’t take sun protection seriously (it’s 2019! Come on! It’s time!), you might want to skip this treatment altogether. Otherwise, you’ll need to be diligent with the SPF afterward—use gentle sunscreens of at least SPF 30—but that should be the case every day of your life.

January is here and for many it's back to school, college and university.

We thought we’d return to Sheet Mask School and share our top tips when applying sheet masks to ensure you earn that A* skin finish every time.

Achieve The Perfect Sheet Mask Finish

Before applying a sheet mask, cleanse the face. it's always best to apply to clear, clean skin. This allows the activated ingredients to easily work their magic.
Just before opening the packaging, gently massage the sachet. This will help awaken the ingredients ready to be placed onto the face.
Once you've opened the sachet and released the mask, begin to unfold. Due to its lightweight design, be careful when unfolding you do not want to tear the spun lace material.
Holding the mask with two hands (ideally facing a mirror) gently pull the mask taut. Using the eye and mouth holes as a guild begin to lower the mask on the face. Pulling the mask taut from each end will ensure a comfortable close fit to the skin.
Once the mask is on your face, carefully pat away any air bubbles, this will ensure more of the serum enriched ingredients penetrate the skin.
When removing the mask, start at the bottom of the face and peel the mask in an upward direction.
Massage any excess serum on the face into any areas that the sheet mask didn't cover, such as the around the eyes, hairline, neck and décolletage area.

Following these simple steps every time you use a sheet mask will help you to achieve a best in class finish every time.
