Is dermaplaning helpful for those with sensitive skin?

Dermaplaning is generally NOT the best choice for those with very sensitive skin. Here’s why:

  • Increased Vulnerability: Sensitive skin has a compromised barrier, making it prone to irritation from physical exfoliation.
  • Risk of Flare-Ups: Dermaplaning can trigger sensitivity, redness, or flare-ups in conditions like eczema or rosacea.
  • Gentler Alternatives: Chemical exfoliants with soothing ingredients or hydrating facials are often safer choices for sensitive skin.

Exceptions:

  • Experienced Professional: A skilled AIVI Aesthetics provider might be able to perform modified dermaplaning with a lighter touch and specialized products for suitable clients.
  • Patch Test: Consider a patch test on a small area to assess your skin’s tolerance before a full-face treatment.

A thorough consultation with AIVI Aesthetics specialists is crucial for anyone with sensitive skin to determine if dermaplaning is appropriate.
