 Dermaplane aims to make your skins surface smooth, youthful and radiant. It is also used to remove “peach fuzz” the short soft vellus nonterminal hair from your face. Dermaplaning removes up to 3 x times more dead skin cells than a microdermabrasion treatment 

No. A huge misconception is that dermaplaning treatments encourage your hair to grow back darker and thicker than before.

We are not changing the structure of the hair, therefore, vellus (peach fuzz) hair will return exactly as it was before. Terminal hairs are already darker and coarser, these hairs need to be removed with waxing before your appointment as these cannot be removed with the dermaplane tool.
