Dermaplaning at Home: Is it Worth the Risk?

At-Home Dermaplaning: A Risky Trend? Utah-based esthetician Rach, known online as "turboweezy," recently shared a video warning against the dangers of at-home dermaplaning. In a short video posted on June 1st, Rach, who identifies as a "wifty, first time; mom, business owner & educator," explains the risks of improper technique and non-sterile blades. "It's a professional blade, not a razor," she cautions in the video, "and truthfully, nobody should be dermaplaning at home unless you are a licensed professional." The video shows Rach demonstrating the professional tools she uses, including Swan Morton blades. She acknowledges that many people will perform dermaplaning at home despite the risks, but emphasizes the importance of using the right tools and techniques to mitigate potential harm. The video has garnered over 5,000 views in less than a day, indicating a significant level of public interest in the topic. The video serves as a reminder of the importance of seeking professional skincare treatments when using tools that can cause injury if misused.
