We’re all familiar with the classic hair-removal methods—applying depilatories, waxing, and tweezing. Although these are popular options, they’re not always beneficial to your skin (personally, the redness, sensitivity, and irritation that persists for days after waxing my overgrown eyebrows is unbelievable).
Not to mention these methods are so annoyingly temporary. Is there anything better out there? We posed this (rather urgent) question to a team of skincare and hair removal experts, and thankfully, the answer is a resounding yes.
Dermaplaning: Dermaplaning is a great option for removing unwanted hair while also providing the skin with a gentle exfoliation. There’s even evidence that making it a habit can keep signs of aging at bay.
Allison Tray, the proprietress of Tres Belle Spa in Brooklyn, says that a professional dermaplaning session can yield results that last up to a month. An added bonus? Dermaplaning increases the efficacy of your skincare products by removing the dead skin cells that block the penetration.
