Everything You’ve Ever Wanted to Know About Dermaplaning
While in the hands of a professional, dermaplaning is safe for most skin types, says Dr. Doft, especially those with sun damage, fine lines, dry patches, and dull skin. But, as always, there are caveats: If you have highly reactive, sensitive skin (like those with rosacea or keratosis pilaris), you may want to pass on dermaplaning, since it might irritate your skin. Same goes for anyone with inflamed acne—unsurprisingly, sliding a sharp scalpel over your zits can irritate them and worsen existing breakouts by spreading bacteria.
