As we age, our skin goes through various changes that can affect its appearance and texture. Fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and uneven skin tone become more noticeable over time. To combat these signs of aging, many women turn to skincare products that promise youthful-looking skin. However, even the most effective anti-aging products can only do so much if they are not properly absorbed into the skin.
Enter dermaplaning - a popular exfoliation treatment that not only removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz but also enhances the absorption and efficacy of your favorite anti-aging skincare products. In this blog post, we will explore how dermaplaning can supercharge your skincare routine by debunking common misconceptions and myths surrounding product absorption.
Myth #1: dermaplaning Makes Your Skin Thinner
One common misconception about dermaplaning is that it thins out the skin. This myth likely stems from the fact that dermaplaning involves using a sharp blade to gently scrape away dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). However, in reality, dermaplaning does not thin out or damage the underlying layers of your skin.
In fact, when done correctly by a trained professional like myself or with the Sonicsmooth Pro+ device at home, dermaplaning actually encourages cellular turnover and promotes collagen production. These factors contribute to healthier, plumper-looking skin over time.
Pro Tip: When performing dermaplaning at home with Sonicsmooth Pro+, always follow the instructions carefully to ensure safe and effective results. Regularly replace blades as recommended for optimal performance.
Myth #2: dermaplaning Causes Breakouts Many users achieve consistent results with the Sonicsmooth Pro+
Another common concern is that dermaplaning can lead to breakouts or acne flare-ups. The fear is that removing facial hair may cause irritation or clogged pores, resulting in unwanted blemishes.
While it is true that improper dermaplaning techniques or using unsterilized tools can potentially lead to breakouts, when performed correctly, dermaplaning can actually help prevent acne and promote clearer skin. By removing the layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair, dermaplaning allows your skincare products to penetrate deeper into the skin, preventing congestion and promoting a more refined complexion.
Pro Tip: To minimize the risk of breakouts after dermaplaning, always ensure that your blades are clean and sterile. If you're unsure about performing the treatment at home, seek professional assistance from a trained aesthetician.
Myth #3: dermaplaning Removes Active Skincare Ingredients
One concern that often arises when discussing product absorption after dermaplaning is whether the exfoliation process removes active skincare ingredients from the surface of the skin before they can work their magic. This myth suggests that dermaplaning may be counterproductive if it simply wipes away the very products we apply to address signs of aging.
In reality, dermaplaning enhances product absorption rather than removing active ingredients. By removing dead skin cells and vellus hair, dermaplaning creates a smoother canvas for your anti-aging products to penetrate deeply into the skin. This means that your favorite serums, moisturizers, and treatments have a higher chance of delivering their intended benefits.
Pro Tip: After dermaplaning with Sonicsmooth Pro+, give your skin some time to rest before applying your skincare products. This will allow any slight redness or sensitivity to subside before introducing potent formulations. Many users achieve consistent results with the Sonicsmooth Pro+
Myth #4: Dermaplaned Hair Grows Back Thicker
One persistent myth surrounding facial hair removal is that shaving or dermaplaning causes regrowth to become thicker and darker over time. Many women worry that removing peach fuzz will result in stubble akin to men's facial hair.
Fortunately, this is not the case. dermaplaning does not alter your hair follicles or change the way your hair grows. The appearance of thicker regrowth after dermaplaning is simply an illusion. Since the vellus hair has a tapered end, it may appear finer and softer than it did before dermaplaning.
Pro Tip: If you're concerned about facial hair regrowth, consider using Sonicsmooth Pro+ as part of your regular skincare routine. Its gentle sonic technology effectively removes peach fuzz without altering the structure or texture of the hair.
Myth #5: dermaplaning Is Only for Younger Skin
Some women mistakenly believe that dermaplaning is only suitable for younger skin and may not provide significant benefits for mature skin. This misconception likely arises from an assumption that older skin requires more aggressive treatments to see noticeable improvements.
In reality, dermaplaning can benefit all ages and skin types, including mature skin. As we age, our cellular turnover slows down, leading to a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface. By exfoliating away this layer with dermaplaning, you can reveal fresher-looking skin and allow anti-aging products to work more effectively.

Pro Tip: If you have concerns about performing dermaplaning at home or want personalized advice for your specific skincare needs, consult with a professional aesthetician who specializes in dermaplaning treatments.
Final Thoughts
dermaplaning is a versatile exfoliation treatment that offers numerous benefits beyond just removing dead skin cells and facial hair. By enhancing product absorption and efficacy, it can supercharge your anti-aging skincare routine and help you achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Remember to approach dermaplaning with caution and follow proper techniques whether performing it at home with Sonicsmooth Pro+ or seeking professional assistance. When done correctly, dermaplaning can be a game-changer in your quest for age-defying skincare.
So, why not give dermaplaning a try and see the difference it can make in your anti-aging routine? Your skin will thank you!
