Between dermaplaning sessions?

6 replies

I'm a pretty hairy chick, both fine white fuzz all over and thicker dark (and light) hair around my chin and neck. I've had dermaplaning several times and love how it makes my skin feel, but normally only get it done before holidays/special occasions. I'd like to do it on a more regular basis but I find that after a couple of days the thicker hairs are making a quick comeback. Is there a solution to this?

How often do you dermaplane? What do you do to catch the hairs between sessions? Is it is bit of a waste of time as a regular treatment?

I dermaplane once or so a month. I don't notice any significant regrowth in between shaving and, tbh, can't really see much difference AFTER dermaplaning. But since it's good for your skin, I do it.

I dermaplane myself every week as I can definitely see it getting quite long again by then. I have mainly long blonde fuzz and some thicker chin hairs.

The dermaplaning makes it pretty obvious which thicker hairs I need to pluck, as they are so sharp after a couple of days, so I just pluck those out.

Threading, it doesn't make your skin feel as lovely and smooth but does get rid of the hair. You can pick the thread up fairly cheaply and there are some great tutorials online. Alternatively, there are a lot of places which do threading relatively cheaply depending where you are in UK.

When I can't be bothered I just tweeze the baddies!

I have like white peach fuzz all over my face and then a few sprouty grey ones (fun) but it's not too hard for me to differentiate

Hhhmm. I think I'm a lost cause. I do tweeze at the moment but there are so many I honestly find it hard to keep on top of. I do sometimes dermaplane myself but it's nowhere near as lovely as it is at the salon, plus I always end up nicking myself and I simply can not do around my eyebrows. Maybe I'll just stick with doing that on my chin/neck when it's really bad.

I would have a go at threading, if you can get the hang of it it's actually much quicker and more effective than plucking if you have multiple hairs. You can do a quick go over or those hairs every day with a piece of thread and then they never get a chance to grow through properly, it's gentler than derma-planing to the skin but also helps keeps skin feel smooth
