Does hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning? Four myths, answered
No. Removing hair at the surface does not change its thickness, color or rate of growth. Hair that regrows after being cut has a blunt tip, so it can feel coarser for a short time, but the follicle underneath is unchanged. Dermaplaning targets fine vellus hair, the soft peach fuzz on the face.
- "Peach fuzz comes back darker."
Cutting hair does not change its color or thickness. Regrowth can feel blunt at first because the tip was cut straight across.
- "It is the same as shaving at home."
In the clinic, a trained aesthetician uses a sterile blade at a shallow angle on prepped skin, lifting dead surface cells as well as hair.
- "Anyone can have it any time."
We postpone dermaplaning for active acne, cold sores, eczema, psoriasis and rashes, and plan around recent peels, laser or retinoids.
- "One session lasts for good."
Dead skin and fine hair return over time, so dermaplaning works as a repeat treatment within a regular skin routine.

Book dermaplaningWhat happens during dermaplaning, and what should I expect after?
Your aesthetician cleanses and dries your skin, then holds it taut and glides a sterile blade across the surface in short, light strokes, lifting dead skin and peach fuzz. A peel or exosome step follows if you chose one, and we finish with hydration and sunscreen. Skin can look a little pink for a short time afterward.

Who is dermaplaning good for in Portland?
Adults whose skin looks dull or feels rough, and anyone who finds that fine facial hair catches makeup or makes skin look less even. It can suit a range of skin types and tones, and we check yours first. It is not the right day for skin with active breakouts, cold sores or a flare of eczema or psoriasis.
Dull, rough-feeling skin
Lifting dead surface cells can leave skin looking smoother and brighter, and it helps skincare spread evenly afterward.
Before an event or makeup
Many clients book dermaplaning ahead of photos or an event, since foundation tends to sit more evenly on smooth skin.
Pair dermaplaning with a peel or facial
Dermaplaning clears the surface, so it is often planned with a chemical peel, the VI Peel or a facial in the same skin routine. Your aesthetician sets the order and spacing so your skin has time to settle between treatments.
Before your Portland dermaplaning visit: a skin checklist
Dermaplaning is gentle, but it is still a treatment on your skin. We postpone it when the area has active acne, a cold sore, eczema, psoriasis, a rash or a burn, and we plan around recent peels, laser and retinoids. Tell us about any of these at booking or check-in.
- Active breakoutsInflamed acne or open spots in the area.
- Cold soresA current cold sore, or frequent outbreaks around the mouth.
- Skin conditionsEczema, psoriasis, a rash or contact dermatitis on the face.
- Skin growthsRaised moles or skin tags in the area, which we work around.
- Recent treatments and retinoidsA peel, laser or waxing on the face recently, or retinoid use.
- PrescriptionsIsotretinoin, blood thinners or other prescription skin medicines.

Dermaplaning in Portland: FAQs
Questions we hear most before a first dermaplaning visit.
How much is dermaplaning in Portland?
Dermaplaning is $75 at Cosmetiq Medicine. It is $100 with a Sensi Peel and $125 with exosomes and GHK-Cu. It is also a $75 add-on to microneedling, and it is included free with each treatment when you buy a package of three chemical peels.
Does hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
No. Removing hair at the surface does not change its thickness, color or how fast it grows. Regrowing hair can feel blunt for a short time because it was cut straight across, which is why some people think it is thicker.
What does dermaplaning do for your skin?
It lifts dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, often called peach fuzz, from the surface. Most people notice smoother texture and an even, brighter look, and makeup and skincare tend to sit more evenly on the skin afterward.
Does dermaplaning hurt?
It usually feels like light scraping or tickling, since the blade glides across the surface at a shallow angle. Tell your aesthetician if any area feels sensitive so they can adjust.
How long does dermaplaning take?
Dermaplaning on its own is a short visit, and adding a Sensi Peel or exosomes adds time for the extra step. Plan a little longer for your first visit so we can review your skin and history.
Who should not get dermaplaning?
We postpone it for active acne, cold sores, eczema, psoriasis, rashes, burns or raised skin growths in the area. Tell us about retinoids, isotretinoin, recent peels or laser, and pregnancy so we can plan the right timing.
How often can I get dermaplaning?
Surface cells and fine hair return over time, so dermaplaning is a repeat treatment rather than a one-time fix. Your skin should settle fully between visits, and your aesthetician will suggest spacing based on how your skin responds.
Is dermaplaning better with a peel?
It depends on your goal. Dermaplaning with a Sensi Peel, $100, adds brightness for dull or uneven tone. Dermaplaning with exosomes and GHK-Cu, $125, is aimed at hydration and glow. Dermaplaning alone suits people who mainly want smoothness.
Can men get dermaplaning?
Yes, on areas of fine vellus hair such as the forehead and upper cheeks. We do not dermaplane the beard area, since that is coarse terminal hair rather than peach fuzz.
Is dermaplaning offered in Vancouver, WA?
Yes. Dermaplaning is offered at our Portland clinic at 10735 SE Stark St, Suite 206, and at our Vancouver clinic at 12000 SE Mill Plain Blvd, with the same prices. Book either location online or call or text (503) 572-2675.
