There are lots of pros to using an at-home dermaplaning tool. If you have a lot of vellus hair, aka peach fuzz (raises hand), you can expect all of that to

be gone, at least, until it grows back. (BTW, pay no mind to the old wives’ tale that hair grows back thicker and darker after shaving. It’s truly a myth!) 

According to Sulzer, dermaplaning can help improve overall radiance, smoothness, and texture, which is great news if you’re dealing with annoying, uneven skin texture or your complexion could use a brightening boost. Sulzer also points out that not only does the practice remove facial hair, but all of the dirt trapped in there as well, revealing baby-soft clear skin. “Not to mention, by removing all of that dead skin and fuzz, your skincare products automatically become more effective because they can penetrate better,” she says. Some also believe dermaplaning can help with fine lines and wrinkles.
