Dermaplaning means gliding a small blade over the face to remove peach fuzz and dead skin. Any good facial razor can do it. Sonic tools add a fast vibration that some people find smoother and easier to control.
Our picks: the Michael Todd Sonicsmooth Pro+ is the best sonic tool. The Kitsch Dermaplane Razor 12-pack is the best value. If you’ve never tried dermaplaning, start with a manual razor.

Is a Sonic Dermaplaner the Same as a Dermaplaning Tool?
Mostly, yes. Both use a single edge to shave fine hair and the top layer of dead skin. A sonic (sometimes called ultrasonic) tool vibrates the blade very fast, which helps it glide and can feel gentler. A manual razor relies on your angle and pressure alone. Results look similar. The sonic tool is just easier for some people to get right.
Quick Picks
- Best sonic tool: Michael Todd Sonicsmooth Pro+. Three speeds and a full system with blades.
- Premium sonic: Dermaflash Luxe+. Two speeds, a well-known brand in sonic dermaplaning.
- Budget sonic: VIKICON Sonic Dermaplane. Three speeds for less than half the price.
- Best manual value: Kitsch Dermaplane Razor 12-pack.
- Classic manual: Dorco Tinkle 9-count. The simple eyebrow-style razor many people start with.
- Reusable handle: derloyo Facial Razor with 12 refill blades, or Billie Face Razor.
- Add-on: Michael Todd Sonicsmooth Hair Identifier Spray. A spray that makes fine hairs easier to see before you start.
Michael Todd vs Dermaflash
Both are sonic tools with replaceable blade heads. Michael Todd’s Pro+ has three speeds and costs less. Dermaflash’s Luxe+ has two speeds and costs more. Either is a good choice; the Michael Todd offers more for the money. Check the price and availability of replacement blades before buying, since that’s the ongoing cost.
Can You Use It on Your Chin and Neck?
Yes, on the chin, jawline, upper lip, cheeks and forehead, as long as the skin is smooth and calm. Many people also use it on the neck. Go slowly around the jaw angle and don’t press. Avoid the eyelids and anywhere with active breakouts.
How to Dermaplane Safely
- Cleanse and dry your face completely. Most tools are meant for dry skin.
- Hold the skin taut with one hand.
- Hold the blade at about a 45-degree angle.
- Use short, light, downward strokes. Don’t go over the same spot again and again.
- Avoid active acne, cold sores, rashes, sunburn and raised moles.
- Moisturize afterward and use sunscreen the next day.
- Replace blades often. A dull blade drags and irritates.
Most people dermaplane every three to four weeks, which gives the skin time to recover.
Who Should Skip It
People with active acne, rosacea flare-ups, very sensitive or inflamed skin, or who are using strong retinoids or other exfoliating treatments should check with a dermatologist first.

FAQs
Does dermaplaning make hair grow back thicker?
No. Shaving fine facial hair doesn’t change how thick it grows back. The blunt tip can feel slightly different as it grows out.
Manual or sonic: which is better for beginners?
A manual razor is cheaper and perfectly fine for learning. If you like the results, a sonic tool can make it easier and smoother.
How often should I dermaplane?
Every three to four weeks for most people.
Can I use a dermaplaning tool on my eyebrows?
Yes, to tidy stray hairs around the brows. Be careful not to remove more than you want.
Do I need a pre-dermaplaning spray?
No, but a hair identifier spray like Michael Todd’s can make fine hairs easier to see.
