Facial shaving vs. professional dermaplaning 🔪

There’s a lot of confusion online around removing facial “peach fuzz,” especially when it comes to whether shaving makes hair grow back thicker, whether facial hair acts as a protective barrier, and how at-home shaving compares to professional dermaplaning.

A few important points:

• Removing vellus hair does not make it grow back thicker or darker

• Peach fuzz is not a protective barrier in the way it’s often described online

• Professional dermaplaning is not the same as simply shaving the face with a razor

• Technique, skin condition, and proper preparation all matter when it comes to minimizing irritation

For skin industry professionals, this is a great example of where client education can make a big difference. What myths or misconceptions about facial shaving and dermaplaning are you hearing most often from clients?
