From TikTok tutorials to beauty influencers like Molly-Mae, dermaplaning has exploded in popularity. But alongside the buzz, there’s also confusion—and a lot of myths that can leave you wondering…
❌ Will my hair grow back thicker?
❌ What if I regret it?
❌ Is it even safe for my skin?
At Sorelle Aesthetics Clinic in Birmingham, we perform professional dermaplaning every day as part of our Dermaglow Facial—so we’re here to give you the truth, minus the fluff.
Let’s break down the top questions real women are Googling before they decide to dermaplane.
1. Does Molly-Mae Dermaplane?
Yes—Molly-Mae Hague has openly shared that she shaves her face to remove peach fuzz and smooth her skin. While her method is DIY, many skincare professionals (including us) recommend a clinic-grade version like The Dermaglow to get better results without the risk.
Why?
In-clinic dermaplaning uses surgical-grade blades, professional protocols, and skin-calming treatments post-exfoliation to avoid irritation or breakouts—something DIY methods can’t offer.
2. What Is the Downside of Dermaplaning?
When done incorrectly or at home, dermaplaning can cause irritation, breakouts, or minor cuts. But in a clinical setting, with a trained practitioner, the risks are minimal.
At Sorelle, we ensure:
- Full skin consultation before treatment
- Expert technique using sterile, single-use blades
- Calming serums and SPF applied immediately after
- Aftercare guidance to keep skin smooth and healthy
For most women, the only “downside” is not booking it sooner!
3. What Is Dermaplaning Regret?
“Dermaplaning regret” is a viral phrase online—mostly shared by people who’ve either done it themselves or had it performed in non-specialist settings. Their complaints usually involve:
- Post-treatment breakouts
- Sensitivity
- Uneven exfoliation
- Hair growing back “weird”
💡 Truth bomb: When done professionally, dermaplaning should leave your skin smooth, glowing, and irritation-free. The key is seeing a trained skin specialist (hi, that’s us 💁♀️).
4. Does Hair Grow Back Thicker After Dermaplaning?
No—and this is the biggest myth we love to bust.
Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (that soft peach fuzz), which has a different structure than terminal hair. It doesn’t grow back thicker, darker, or faster. It just feels a bit more noticeable as it returns because the blunt edge grows evenly.
Rest assured:
✅ Your hair will grow back the same
✅ You won’t suddenly have stubble
✅ You can maintain the glow every 4–6 weeks safely
5. How Often Does a Woman Need to Dermaplane?
We recommend every 4 to 6 weeks—which aligns with your skin’s natural cell renewal cycle. Regular treatments keep your skin consistently smooth, makeup-ready, and more receptive to your skincare.
If you’re looking for a facial that combines professional dermaplaning with deep exfoliation, hydration, and that radiant glass-skin finish—The Dermaglow Facial at Sorelle is the perfect choice.
