📌 Practical Considerations
28. How Much Does Dermaplaning Cost?
The cost of dermaplaning can vary based on location, provider experience, and whether it’s performed as a standalone treatment or combined with a facial. Prices typically range from $75 to $200 per session. While at-home dermaplaning tools are available, they lack the precision, safety, and effectiveness of a professional treatment. In addition, professionals, like myself, use medical-grade scalpels and advanced techniques to exfoliate deeper and more evenly, delivering noticeably smoother skin and longer-lasting results.
Factors Affecting Cost:
- Provider Expertise: Experienced professionals may charge higher rates for their skill and precision.
- Location: Prices can fluctuate depending on the clinic’s location and clientele.
- Add-On Treatments: Some providers include add-on additions such as LED light therapy and hydrating masks which can affect the pricing.
29. At-Home Dermaplaning vs. Professional Dermaplaning: Which is Better?
At-home dermaplaning tools are widely available, but they don’t provide the same level of exfoliation or safety as professional treatments.
✔ Professional Dermaplaning:
- Uses medical-grade scalpel for maximum precision.
- Removes dead skin and fine hair at a greater depth and evenly without irritation.
- Performed by licensed experts, reducing the risk of cuts or infection.
❌ At-Home Dermaplaning:
- Uses weaker blades that can cause uneven exfoliation.
- Higher risk of irritation, cuts, and over-exfoliation.
- Doesn’t provide the same long-lasting, polished results.
📍 Bottom Line: If you want smoother skin, better results, and zero risk of damage, professional dermaplaning is the better choice.
30. Can You Wear Makeup After Dermaplaning?
Yes, but I recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying foundation to let your skin settle. Makeup applies flawlessly afterward, thanks to the ultra-smooth surface dermaplaning creates.
31. What’s the Best Time of Year for Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is safe year-round, but many clients prefer it in the fall and winter when sun exposure is lower. If done in summer, SPF is a must to protect freshly exfoliated skin from UV damage.
32. How to Choose a Qualified Professional for Dermaplaning
Not all providers are created equal—choosing the right one makes all the difference in your results.
✔ Look for licensed estheticians or dermatology professionals with advanced exfoliation experience.
✔ Ensure they use sterile, medical-grade scalpels in a hygienic environment.
✔ Read reviews and testimonials to check for consistent, high-quality results.
✔ Schedule a consultation first to discuss your skin concerns before treatment.
33. Does Dermaplaning Hurt? (Pain Level & Comfort)
Not at all! Most clients find it relaxing—some even fall asleep during treatment. It’s a gentle, pain-free experience with no downtime.
