Before dermaplaning during GLP-1 treatment, discuss these five questions.

1. What am I removing?

Dermaplaning removes upper skin layers and peach fuzz. It may not improve deep or raised acne scars. [1]

2. Does my skin need assessment first?

Discuss active acne, cold sores, eczema, psoriasis, rashes or skin growths before a procedure. [1]

3. What can go wrong?

Professional treatment carries infection, scarring and lighter or darker pigmentation risks. [1]

4. What changes home care?

At-home shaving can irritate skin; nicks can introduce infection. Skip active breakouts or eczema flares. Clean the razor before and after use, moisturize and wear sunscreen. [2]

5. Will shaving change hair growth?

Cutting hair above the surface does not change its growth. Blunt regrowth can temporarily feel coarser. [2]
