Facial Hair and Peach Fuzz: How to Care for Skin After Dermaplaning with SBLA

What Is Peach Fuzz—and Why Should You Care?

Peach fuzz—that fine layer of soft facial hair—may be easy to overlook, but it can impact how your skin looks and feels more than you realize. These barely-there strands, technically called vellus hair, naturally cover your face and help regulate temperature while offering light protection. But when it comes to your complexion, they can interfere with your glow, makeup application, and even skincare absorption.

At SBLA Beauty, we understand how important smooth skin is for confidence and self-care. That’s why we help women embrace effective, non-invasive routines—like dermaplaning—and provide targeted post-treatment care that enhances results and protects skin. Removing peach fuzz reveals your real radiance—but how you care for your skin afterward makes all the difference.

The Science Behind Dermaplaning and Why It Works

Dermaplaning is a mechanical exfoliation method that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz in one precise session. A sterile surgical blade is held at a 45-degree angle and gently scraped across your skin, taking away weeks of debris and buildup. Unlike chemical exfoliants, it offers immediate results by physically clearing the surface of the skin.

This process reveals a smooth, fresh layer of skin, making light reflect more evenly and allowing products to penetrate more effectively. Plus, removing fine facial hair eliminates the “net” that traps dirt, oil, and makeup, leaving your skin brighter and more receptive to active ingredients.

Key benefits of dermaplaning include:

• Improved product absorption
  

• Smoother makeup application
  

• Immediate brightening effect
  

• Stimulated cellular turnover
  

For those dealing with rough, bumpy skin texture, dermaplaning offers a clean slate that supports a healthy, glow-enhancing routine.

How to Care for Skin After Removing Peach Fuzz

Once your peach fuzz is gone and your skin is newly exposed, post-treatment care becomes essential. Think of your face like a delicate canvas—dermaplaning removes the top layer of protection, so your skin is more sensitive and more responsive to what you apply.

Start by locking in hydration. Within hours of your treatment, apply a moisturizer rich in ceramides or hyaluronic acid to prevent moisture loss and soothe the skin. SBLA’s post-dermaplaning recommendations include:

• Gentle, replenishing hydration
  

• Avoiding harsh activities for 24–48 hours
  

• Using calming ingredients like niacinamide or botanical extracts
  

Sun protection is a must. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily, and avoid direct sun exposure as your skin heals. Even minor UV exposure can trigger irritation or pigmentation post-dermaplaning.

To prevent setbacks:

• Don’t touch or rub the treated area
  

• Sleep on a clean silk pillowcase to reduce friction
  

• Avoid exfoliating products or tools for at least 72 hours
  

These small habits protect your results and help your skin stay calm, smooth, and radiant.

Why SBLA’s Products Make Ideal Post-Dermaplaning Solutions

After dermaplaning removes dead skin and fine facial hair, your skin becomes more receptive to the ingredients you apply, making this the ideal moment to use targeted, high-performing skincare. SBLA’s clinical-grade solutions are formulated to support visible results without irritation, making them a smart choice for post-exfoliation care.

Here’s how SBLA can help your skin bounce back beautifully:

• Facial Instant Sculpting Wand: This non-invasive serum delivers deep hydration and supports a firmer, plumper look with continued use. Its airless delivery system ensures your freshly exfoliated skin absorbs every drop efficiently, without added irritation or mess.
  

• Eye Lift Wand: Use this around the eyes to target fine lines and puffiness, especially if the under-eye area feels more exposed post-treatment. Its gentle, peptide-infused formula helps soothe and visibly tighten.
  

• Lip Plump & Sculpt: While not applied all over the face, this product is ideal if your post-dermaplaning routine includes the lip area. It enhances fullness and smoothness without harsh ingredients—perfect for sensitive skin.
  

These tools are designed to work with your skin’s natural processes, not overwhelm them. And because dermaplaning boosts product absorption, you’ll likely see their sculpting and smoothing effects even faster.

SBLA’s line is engineered for high performance without the harsh side effects of more invasive treatments, making them ideal companions for your refreshed, newly revealed complexion.

Building an Effective Post-Dermaplaning Routine

The best skincare routine after dermaplaning doesn’t have to be complex. Simplicity is more effective, especially when your skin is more vulnerable to irritation.

Here’s a basic structure to follow:

Morning

• Cleanse with a gentle, non-abrasive formula
  

• Apply SBLA’s vitamin C serum to brighten and protect
  

• Lock in hydration with a lightweight moisturizer
  

• Use SPF 30+ as your final step
  

Evening

• Cleanse again with a mild wash
  

• Apply a retinol or peptide treatment (once skin is no longer sensitive)
  

• Moisturize with a product that supports barrier repair
  

During the first few nights, if your skin feels sensitive, swap in a calming balm or ceramide-based moisturizer instead of actives. Remember—post-dermaplaning, your skin is more responsive to everything, so now’s the time to be intentional about what you use.

FAQs About Peach Fuzz and Dermaplaning

Does peach fuzz grow back thicker?
No. Dermaplaning doesn’t affect your hair’s structure. It might feel blunt as it grows in, but the texture and color remain the same.

How often should I dermaplane?
Every 3–4 weeks is ideal, aligning with your skin’s natural renewal cycle.

Can dermaplaning trigger breakouts?
Not if proper aftercare is followed. Removing buildup can help reduce clogged pores. Breakouts usually happen when harsh products are reintroduced too quickly.

Is it okay to wear makeup right after?
Wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to settle and avoid irritation.

Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive skin?
Yes—when done correctly. Sensitive skin types often tolerate dermaplaning better than chemical exfoliants. If you’re new to the treatment, start with a professional session.
