The Truth About Dermaplaning (Sorry, Molly-Mae!)

The Truth About Dermaplaning (Sorry, Molly-Mae!)

If you’ve ever wondered whether dermaplaning makes facial hair grow back thicker and darker, you’re not alone. Recently, influencer Molly-Mae Hague shared her experience, claiming that dermaplaning caused her facial hair to regrow differently.

We love Molly-Mae, but this one is a MYTH! 

What Is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) using a sterile surgical blade. This leaves your skin feeling smoother, looking brighter, and allowing for better absorption of skincare products. It’s a favourite treatment among beauty enthusiasts and skincare professionals alike!

Does Dermaplaning Make Hair Grow Back Thicker and Darker?

No, and here’s why:

Why Do People Think Dermaplaning Affects Hair Growth?

This misconception likely comes from the way hair feels when it grows back. Since dermaplaning removes hair at the surface, regrowth doesn’t have the naturally tapered tip that unshaven hair does, making it seem more noticeable. But in reality, it’s just the same hair growing at the same rate.

The Real Benefits of Dermaplaning

Aside from clearing up this skincare myth, let’s talk about why dermaplaning is loved by skincare professionals:

✔️ Instantly smoother skin
✔️ Enhanced product absorption (your serums & moisturisers will work better!)
✔️ Brighter, more even complexion
✔️ Flawless makeup application (say goodbye to cakey foundation!)
