A) Because dermaplaning only removes hair at the surface, not the follicle.
Many people worry that dermaplaning will make their peach fuzz grow back thicker or darker, but that’s actually a myth!
Here’s the science behind it:
💡 Hair growth is determined by the follicle beneath the skin, not what happens at the surface. Dermaplaning only removes the hair at the epidermis level, meaning it has no effect on the structure, color, or thickness of the hair as it regrows.
What actually happens when hair grows back?
- The hair may feel different at first simply because it was cut bluntly, rather than naturally tapering at the tip.
- The regrowth process is completely natural—the hair will return in the same texture and shade as before.
- Since vellus hairs are fine and soft, they don’t have the same properties as terminal hair (like on the scalp, brows, or body), which is why dermaplaning won’t stimulate thicker regrowth.
✅ Bottom Line: Dermaplaning won’t change how your hair grows—it simply gives you smoother skin by removing peach fuzz and dead cells for a brighter, more radiant glow.
