As an Aesthetician and laser hair technician I get asked all the time how to remove peach fuzz. There is a quick and easy at home treatment that not only removes peach fuzz but also exfoliates skin leaving it ultra smooth.
Dermaplaning is a pain free alternative to waxing or tweezing unwanted facial/body hair. Dermaplaning is a spa treatment where a technician uses a surgical blade to manually exfoliate the outermost layers of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz), exposing the fresh, healthy skin cells. You can get the same results yourself and get smooth, fuzz free skin.
I have been doing this treatment myself for years and I love how my skin looks afterwards. I used to just use it on my peach fuzz sideburns but now about once a month I will do my whole face, it removes all those lovely blonde hairs on my chin/upper lip/eyebrows but it also exfoliates so my skin feels amazing afterwards. You can really see a difference once you put on your makeup because it goes on so smooth, it looks flawless.
So anytime someone asks me about peach fuzz I teach them how to dermaplane. Most stores title them “eyebrow shapers”, the picture above are what they are packaged like in each store. You can find them in the cosmetic department usually by the eyelash curlers and tweezers and they are under $5.
How To Dermaplane:
Step 1:
Clean skin thoroughly and apply toner. Make sure skin is completely dry.
Step 2:
Hold skin taut with one hand, hold blade in other hand at a 45 degree angle against skin, shaving upwards. Repeat over desired areas.
Step 3:
Rinse off and apply serum & moisturizer.
Repeat treatment as needed or before a big event for smooth flawless skin.

Wow. Didn't know it was so easy! Thanks for the tutorial. 🙂
How is this different from shaving?
It is very similar to shaving except that dermaplaning also exfoliates the skin (which I love!) Shaving also makes the regrown hair appear thicker and sometimes darker because the razor will cause a blunt edge. I find that my hair grows back slower after dermaplaning versus shaving.
Sounds really easy. Are there any other negative effects to doing this other than skin sensitivity? Does the hair grow back in thicker or darker afterward?
Your hair wont grow back thicker or darker. There have been a few times where my skin will redden a little after dermaplaning, it usually subsides after about 15 min. Since it does exfoliate the skin you want to be careful around any blemishes or wounds, but otherwise it is really easy 🙂
What serum do you apply after you finish dermaplaning? I am 43 & still have oily skin prone to breakouts (that are actually worse than when I was younger). Thank you!
I tried dermaplaning with some “eyebrow razors” I got at CVS. After trying lots of different things, I’m a little frustrated. I can’t get all of the hair to come off completely, so my face is all prickly. Any suggestions?
