Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Derma-Planing.

Derma-Planing is safe for most skin types, but not recommended for active cystic acne, severe rosacea, or open wounds. A licensed esthetician will assess your skin and recommend alternatives if necessary to prevent irritation or infection.

Results typically last three to four weeks, though this can vary by individual. Many clients schedule monthly treatments to maintain smooth texture and enhanced product absorption. Factors like skin type, hormones, and skincare routine influence longevity.

Derma-Planing removes vellus (peach fuzz) and dead skin cells but does not permanently remove hair. Hair will regrow over time, typically with the same fine texture; it does not become coarser or darker from the procedure.

No—Derma-Planing does not make hair grow back thicker or darker. The treatment targets fine vellus hair which regrows with the same texture. Any perceived change is temporary; proper aftercare and gentle maintenance keep results natural.

Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid retinoids, chemical peels, waxing, and strong exfoliants for at least one week prior. Protect from sun exposure and disclose medications or recent treatments during your consultation.

Most clients experience mild redness and sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours. Rarely tiny abrasions or breakouts can occur. There’s minimal downtime; use SPF, avoid active acids or retinoids for 48 hours, and follow your esthetician’s post-care instructions.
