Dermaplaning is both a method of manual exfoliation and hair removal. There are two main ways to do it:
-
Traditional Dermaplaning
Practiced in medical settings since the 1970s, a doctor or licensed esthetician carefully removes the top layer of dead skin cells (and peach fuzz) using a surgical scalpel. This instantly reveals skin that looks fresh, radiant, and fuzz-free. It also allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively.However, because traditional dermaplaning uses an open scalpel, it must be performed by a highly skilled professional—this sharp blade has no safety features. Experts caution against attempting it at home.
-
Sonic Dermaplaning
This approach delivers the same fuzz-free skin as traditional dermaplaning, but with added benefits and fewer risks. Dermanique Sonic Pro Dermaplaning employs high-level sonic vibrations to:-
Help the blade glide gently over your skin
-
Lift peach fuzz for more effective removal
-
Support cellular turnover
-
Boost microcirculation
A specially designed safety edge also helps protect you from nicks and cuts. Estheticians now frequently incorporate sonic dermaplaning into spa facials—after all, if there’s a safer, more advanced tool available, why stick with decades-old methods?

Dermaplaning vs. Shaving: What’s the Difference?
While shaving your face with a razor can remove peach fuzz, dermaplaning goes deeper. It provides a more thorough exfoliation—key for supporting collagen and maintaining youthful radiance.
Opt for sonic dermaplaning, and you’ll experience clinically proven, anti-aging results. Independent lab studies of Sonic Pro Dermaplaning showed that after four weeks of consistent use:
-
97% of users saw fewer visible lines and wrinkles
-
94% noticed a reduced appearance of dark spots
Will Hair Grow Back Thicker After Dermaplaning?
No—neither traditional nor sonic dermaplaning can alter hair follicles or affect how hair naturally regrows. It’s scientifically proven that surface-level removal does not change the hair’s structure.
If you’ve noticed that hair on your legs (or a man’s beard) seems thicker after shaving, it’s because that hair type (terminal hair) is coarser and grows back with a blunt edge, creating the illusion of thickness. Facial peach fuzz (vellus hair) is very fine and won’t appear thicker, spikier, or darker upon regrowth.
As one satisfied Sonic Pro user shared, “I was nervous my peach fuzz would grow back spiky, but it’s still soft! It’s so easy, and my skin looks and feels unbelievably smooth.”
The Bottom Line
Yes, both shaving and dermaplaning remove unwanted facial hair, but dermaplaning offers added exfoliating and skin-improving perks. Call it shaving if you want—what matters most is enjoying the glow, smoothness, and confidence that Sonic Pro Dermaplaning delivers. Give it a try and discover the radiant difference for yourself!
