To think dermaplaning is risky!

I have a very fuzzy face. It’s the pale peach fuzz type but some bits are thicker than others and the whole thing really bothers me.

I want to try dermaplaning, but I’m scared it’ll grow back blunter and more obvious, or darker, so getting it done will lead to a lifetime of regular maintenance, I don’t want to have to shave my face daily!!

So mumsnet, for those of you who’ve tried it, what do you think? Has it made a big difference to your confidence? Does make up go on better? Should I take the plunge?

Am I being unreasonable to think it’s too risky?

I do it myself and it does grow back but not like stuble. But it does grow back quite slowly. I do think it is a lifetime of maintenance but you feel loads better for it. Your skin will be nicer and your make up defo goes on better. I probs do it about once a week at the most.

It's changed my life! Doesn't grow back thicker, stubbly or darker. The peach fuzz just eventually returns. I do it myself and I makes my face so smooth

I've had dermaplaning several times and love it! Never grown back stubble

Try it at home. I use votary razor wands. The hairs are so fine they don’t come back as stubble and make up looks so much better.

Yes, I’m worried about that. I just want to check in with people who’ve actually had it to see if they look and feel like desperate dan a few days afterwards.

I’d rather have fuzz than facial stubble

I don’t think it will grow back darker or thicker but it will certainly feel blunter and stubbier due to the natural thin end being cut off.
