Dermaplaning - is it worth it?

[TyrionsNextWife]

I have quite good skin (occasional spots and a bit of an uneven skin tone, but nothing major) but it’s quite dull and at this time of year I have to use heavy moisturiser or else I get flaky patches and dry spots.

I’ve been hearing about dermaplaning but I don’t know anyone who’s had it done so no real life recommendations. Do you think it’s worth it, and would it make a noticeable difference for skin that’s just a bit bleurgh?

If it matters, I’m mid 30s, have fairly pale skin tone and a few lines when I smile but no noticeable wrinkles.

It basically shifts any fine hair and flakes/dry skin. I do it myself

To be honest, when I got it done I loved the feeling and the look of my skin...plus your make up sits a lot better, however if it is not something you are going to upkeep and have done regularly - do not bother.

I have had it done once only.

Where did you get it done and how much was it?

I also do it myself. But yes it does make a difference.

I didn't like it :( it irritated my sensitive skin. Depends what skin type you have.

I also do it myself, you can get the razors very cheaply on amazon. There are lots of YouTube tutorials on it. It's very easy, you just have to be careful and not go overboard!

I didn’t realise you could get special razors and do it yourself! I’ll YouTube it and see how easy it looks - I might be back again soon asking for concealer advice when I end up looking like the joker

Thank you for the replies, it’s much appreciated!

I had it done professionally £65.00 nw England. Skin felt lovely but I came out in a few spots afterward and I rarely get spots, so will not be doing it again.

Its about £45 here if you get it done in a salon. Midlands.

I do mine myself. Buy the razors online and follow a YouTube video. It makes such a difference to flakey skin.

Get yourself Paula's Choice BHA exfoliator. Exactly what you need for dull and generally meh skin.

I've had it done 3 times 6 weeks apart. Straight after your skin feels amazingly soft and make up goes on so well, but I find the peachy fuzz (the hair) grows back quite quickly so it doesn't last. Scary how much "dead skin" comes off though. Interested that you can buy the scalpels yourself, my beautician said she does her's herself. Mine is £35 in the Midlands and takes about 25 minutes.

Yep I do mine also. So easy and my skin feels great and it's rank the amount of gunk that comes off!

I do it myself using eyebrow razors, works greatz i have really dry skin so it feels nice getting rid of all the flaky bits, my skin just soaks up serums and creams nicely after i have done it. I do it evey 3-4 weeks

I worry. Does the peachy fuzz not just grow back thicker and darker. Is it not effectively just shaving your face????

It is just shaving your face but the peach fuzz doesn't grow back darker or thicker. Like other posters I use cheap eyebrow razors from Amazon. It is SOOO satisfying!!

Bet you I'd be the one person who ends up with a Captain Birdseye style beard.

Yep not gonna lie I got carried away with my sideys, I now have non but I just keep on top of it and they don't grow back thicker or darker. That's a complete myth (ex beauty therapist).
