Is Dermaplaning At Home Safe? Here’s What You Need To Know

News flash: Shaving is no longer relegated to your underarms, bikini line, and legs—people are shaving their faces now. It’s called dermaplaning, and the procedure is usually performed in-office by a dermatologist or esthetician using a fancy tool called a scalpel. But as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, life has been put on pause, and there’s no telling how soon we’ll be able to get a facial. What hasn’t ceased, though, are the vellus hairs (aka little whiskers or peach fuzz) growing on our faces. Sure, you can wait until it’s absolutely safe to leave your home and visit your facialist—or do it yourself.
