Can dermaplaning be performed on clients with active acne?
Answer: No, the blade can spread bacteria and cause further breakouts
Dermaplaning over active acne can rupture lesions, spread bacteria across the face, and worsen breakouts.
How does tweezing affect the hair growth cycle over time with repeated use?
Answer: Repeated tweezing can weaken the follicle and lead to finer, sparser regrowth over time
Chronic trauma to the follicle from repeated tweezing can disrupt the papilla over time, resulting in progressively finer regrowth.
What aftercare should a client follow after professional dermaplaning?
Answer: Avoid sun exposure, use SPF, and avoid active ingredient serums for 24 hours
Freshly dermaplane'd skin lacks its normal dead-cell barrier, making it photosensitive and vulnerable to active ingredients.
What is the risk of sharing tweezers between clients in a professional salon?
Answer: Cross-contamination of bacteria, viruses, and blood-borne pathogens
Tweezers can contact blood or follicle fluid during use, making them vectors for pathogen transmission if not properly disinfected.
Which skin condition is a contraindication for dermaplaning?
Answer: Rosacea with active flushing or broken capillaries
Rosacea involves sensitive, reactive skin with compromised barrier function that is easily aggravated by the mechanical scraping of a blade.
What term describes the fine, soft, lightly pigmented facial hair removed by dermaplaning?
Answer: Vellus hair
Vellus hair is the thin, soft, barely pigmented facial hair (peach fuzz) that dermaplaning removes along with dead skin cells.
