Dermaplaning FAQ

Dermaplaning: Glow Smoothly Into Radiant Skin

At Mud & Lotus Skincare, we believe in simple, effective skincare that helps you feel your best in your own skin. Dermaplaning is one of our most popular treatments—and for good reason. It’s gentle, satisfying, and leaves your skin brighter, smoother, and refreshed.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation technique where a sterile surgical blade is gently glided across the skin to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). The result? Instantly smoother, more radiant skin—and a flawless canvas for skincare products and makeup.

Benefits of Dermaplaning:

• Brighter, smoother skin instantly

• Improved product absorption

• More even skin tone and texture

• Softens fine lines

• Creates a flawless base for makeup

• No downtime, no discomfort

Who is Dermaplaning Best For?

Most skin types can benefit from dermaplaning, especially if you're dealing with dullness, dryness, or uneven texture. It’s especially great before a special event or as part of a monthly skincare routine. If you have active acne or very sensitive skin, we’ll help you decide if it’s the right option for you.

Let’s Clear Up the Myth...

No, dermaplaning does not cause your hair to grow back thicker or darker.
That’s a common myth! The hair removed is soft vellus hair, and it grows back exactly the same—no change in color, thickness, or speed.

How Often Should You Do It?

We recommend dermaplaning every 4–6 weeks, which is about how long it takes for your skin to renew its top layer. Regular treatments help maintain a smooth glow while keeping your complexion clear and bright.

At-Home Razor vs. In-Studio Experience

We get it—those little face razors seem convenient. But here’s the difference:

At home:

• Non-sterile tools

• Limited exfoliation

• No deep cleansing or follow-up skin treatments

• Risk of nicks or irritation

At Mud & Lotus:

• Sterile, professional-grade blade

• Expert technique customized for your skin

• Calming, nourishing products post-treatment

• Safe, clean environment
