Can dermaplaning cause ingrown hairs?

Dermaplaning itself does not directly cause ingrown hairs. In fact, it can potentially help prevent them in some cases:

  • No Change to Follicle: Dermaplaning works on the skin’s surface and doesn’t alter the hair follicle where ingrown hairs originate.
  • Smoother Surface: By removing dead skin buildup, dermaplaning might make it easier for new hairs to grow through the skin normally.

However: If you’re already prone to ingrown hairs in areas where you dermaplane, proper aftercare is crucial. Exfoliation and keeping skin hydrated can help minimize risk.

AIVI Aesthetics Agoura Hills can provide personalized advice to help prevent ingrown hairs after your dermaplaning treatment.
