What does Dermaplanning involve, and can Dermaplanning cause your hair to grow in thicker?

Dermaplaning is a cosmetic procedure that removes fine facial hair and dead skin cells. Contrary to a common myth, it doesn't cause hair to grow back thicker or more abundantly. The hair regrowth appears the same as before the procedure

Dermaplaning involves using a sterile surgical blade to exfoliate the top layer of skin, which includes fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). The process doesn't affect the hair follicle's structure or the rate of hair growth. The appearance of thicker or darker hair post-dermaplaning is likely a perception illusion due to the hair being cut at a blunt angle, making it seem coarser temporarily. However, the actual hair structure remains unchanged, and there's no scientific evidence supporting increased thickness or density from dermaplaning.

It's important to note that it's scientifically impossible for dermaplaning to cause facial hair to grow back thicker or more abundant. The procedure only affects the surface of the skin and doesn't alter the hair follicle's structure or growth pattern.
