Which Swann-Morton blades are used for dermaplaning?
The most popular blades for dermaplaning are the Swann-Morton No. 10R and the No. 14. The No. 10R blade, often called the "butter blade," has a rounded, "bull nose" tip that is ideal for safely navigating smaller, more restricted areas of the face. The No. 14 blade is longer and better suited for treating larger surface areas. The standard No. 10 blade is also used by professionals
Are Swann-Morton blades the same as regular razors?
No. Swann-Morton blades are surgical-grade scalpels. They are significantly sharper and designed for precision exfoliation, removing both dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) more effectively than a standard razor.
Can I use Swann-Morton blades for at-home dermaplaning?
While some people choose to use these blades at home, they are professional-grade surgical tools and require proper training and technique. Dermaplaning with a surgical scalpel carries a higher risk of nicks, cuts, and scarring if not done correctly. It's often recommended to seek professional dermaplaning treatments from a trained aesthetician or to use dermaplaning tools specifically designed for at-home use, which are typically less sharp.
What handle should I use with the blades?
Swann-Morton blades like the No. 10R and No. 14 are designed to fit a standard No. 3 handle. There are various styles of No. 3 handles, including the standard 3, 3L (longer), 5B (bulbous for larger hands), and others, allowing you to choose the one that is most comfortable for you.
Will dermaplaning make my facial hair grow back thicker or darker?
This is a common myth. Dermaplaning removes the vellus hair (peach fuzz) at the surface of the skin. It does not affect the hair follicle itself. The hair will grow back with the same color, texture, and thickness as before. It may feel different as it first grows back because the cut end is blunt, not tapered.
Can I dermaplane if I have acne or sensitive skin?
Dermaplaning is not recommended for people with active acne, open wounds, or very sensitive skin. The process can spread bacteria and cause further irritation. It's best to consult with a skincare professional to determine if dermaplaning is right for you.
