Is Dermaplaning Worth It? Here’s the Real Deal.

Dermaplaning is everywhere lately—your feed, your For You page, maybe even your group chat. But while it’s often lumped in with viral skincare trends, here’s the truth: when done by a trained professional using proper tools, dermaplaning is so much more than a social media moment.

Let’s break down what it really is, what it isn’t, and why you should skip the DIY razors and trust your face to a pro.

What Is Professional Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a safe, non-invasive treatment where a licensed esthetician uses a sterile, single-use dermaplaning blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (aka peach fuzz). The result? Silky-smooth skin, better product absorption, and a fresh, radiant glow—without irritation or downtime.

This is not a tinkle razor. And it’s definitely not a DIY moment.

At Skin by Ashley, each blade is medical-grade, professionally disposed of after each use, and applied with trained precision to protect your skin barrier—not damage it.

Why It’s 100% Worth Booking With a Pro

✅ Instant glow-up: Your skin looks brighter and more refined immediately—no waiting for results.
✅ Flawless makeup days: Without peach fuzz or texture, makeup glides on like silk.
✅ Product penetration: With that layer of buildup gone, your serums can actually do their job.
✅ Gentle yet effective: Safe for most skin types when done in a clean, controlled setting.
✅ Zero downtime: You’ll leave glowing and ready to take on the day—no redness, no peeling.

Let’s Talk About the Myths

“Will my hair grow back darker or thicker?”
Nope. That’s a myth. Your hair will grow back exactly the same—soft, fine, and unnoticeable.

“Can’t I just do this myself at home?”
Please don’t. At-home razors aren’t sterile, can leave micro-cuts, and often do more harm than good. If you want results without risk, professional dermaplaning is the move.
