Is this the same as professional dermaplaning?

No. It mimics the motion of dermaplaning by shaving off peach fuzz and surface dead skin, but a professional treatment goes deeper and uses a trained hand. At-home results are quicker and shorter-lived.

Can I use it on sensitive skin?

The maker says it suits sensitive skin and all complexions, and it uses no chemicals. Still, it is a bare blade, so patch-test on your jaw and avoid active breakouts or irritated skin.

How do I hold it for the best result?

Pull the skin taut with your free hand and hold the blade at about a 45-degree angle. Use short, feathery strokes in the direction of hair growth, usually downward.

Will it make facial hair grow back thicker?

No. Shaving cuts hair at the surface and does not change its thickness or growth rate. Regrowth may feel stubbly at first because the tip is blunt.

Can I use it over makeup or on a dry face?

Use it on clean, dry skin so the blade glides and you can see the fuzz. Don't run it over makeup, and rinse the blade after each pass.

How often should I replace the razor?

There is no fixed schedule, but a dull or tugging blade should be swapped. With five in the pack, many users rotate one every week or two with regular use.
