Many people wonder whether dermaplaning causes ingrown hairs, but the treatment itself does not directly lead to ingrowns. In most cases, dermaplaning can actually help prevent them.
- No Impact on the Hair Follicle: Dermaplaning only removes dead skin and peach fuzz on the surface. It doesn’t touch or alter the follicle—where ingrown hairs originate—so dermaplaning does not typically cause ingrown hairs.
- Creates a Smoother Surface: By clearing away dead skin buildup, dermaplaning can make it easier for new hairs to break through the surface normally, reducing the likelihood of ingrowns.
However, if you’re already prone to ingrown hairs in areas where you dermaplane, proper post-treatment care is essential. Gentle exfoliation between sessions and keeping the skin well-hydrated can help minimize the risk.
For tailored guidance on preventing ingrown hairs after dermaplaning, the experts at AIVI Aesthetics Agoura Hills can provide personalized recommendations based on your skin’s needs.
