Is dermaplaning better than microdermabrasion for sensitive skin?

For sensitive skin types, dermaplaning is often gentler than microdermabrasion as it doesn't involve suction or abrasive crystals. At Hertford Cosmetics, we customise both treatments for sensitive skin, but dermaplaning may cause less redness and irritation

Will dermaplaning make facial hair grow back thicker or darker?

No, dermaplaning only removes vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin without affecting the hair follicle. The hair will grow back with the same texture and colour as before, not thicker or darker

How to prepare skin before dermaplaning treatment at home?

While professional treatments yield best results, we recommend arriving with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid retinol products, exfoliants, and direct sun exposure for 3-5 days before your appointment at our Ware clinic

Can dermaplaning help with acne scars and hyperpigmentation?

Dermaplaning can help improve mild acne scarring and hyperpigmentation by removing the top layer of dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover, and allowing better penetration of brightening products. For deeper scars, we recommend combining with other treatments

How do I book Dermaplaning treatment?

At Hertford Cosmetics you can simply book online using Fresha (https://www.hertfordcosmetics.com/book-online)or simply contact us directly.(https://www.hertfordcosmetics.com/contact-us)

Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?

Yes, you can apply makeup immediately after your treatment if necessary, though we recommend giving your skin a few hours to breathe if possible. Many clients find they need less makeup after dermaplaning as their skin appears more radiant and even-toned naturally.

How often should I get dermaplaning treatments?

For optimal results, we recommend dermaplaning treatments every 4-6 weeks, which aligns with your skin's natural renewal cycle. Our Ware aestheticians can create a personalised treatment plan based on your skin's specific needs and response to the treatment.

What Is Dermaplaning and How Does It Work?

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation method that uses a specialised tool to remove the buildup of dead skin cells and fine facial hair. The treatment works by:

Gently scraping the skin's surface with a sterile surgical-grade scalpel at a precise 45-degree angle
Removing approximately 2-3 weeks worth of dead skin cell buildup
Eliminating fine vellus hair that can trap oil and debris
Creating a perfectly smooth canvas for skincare and makeup application

Unlike some exfoliation treatments, dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin and those with rosacea or redness-prone complexions. The treatment is entirely manual, with no harsh chemicals or abrasive substances used.

At our Ware clinic, just a short journey from Hertford, each dermaplaning treatment is tailored to your specific skin concerns and goals, ensuring optimal results with minimal discomfort.
