There’s a new beauty trend that has been getting a lot of recognition lately! Some experts believe that shaving your face isn’t exclusively a “man” thing and that women should do it too.

Beware of using your guy’s razor, because experts are saying this beauty technique should be handled by a trusted dermatologist or plastic surgeon.

The treatment called “dermaplaning” uses a small blade to exfoliate the skin all while getting rid of unwanted hair.

Dr. Stafford R. Broumand, Manhattan based a plastic surgeon, told The New York Times, that the service has become increasingly popular and that the service rose threefold since 2014.

Women have turned to the blade because laser hair removal and waxing can be harsh on the skin and leave irritation.

It’s been said that many women have already started this practice, though there isn’t any razor marketed to this specifically, some ladies have been using eyebrow razors at home.

Doctors are advising against shaving your face at home and suggest leaving this to the professionals.

 

What do you think of this trend – would you be willing to give it a try?
