These are the top 5 at-home dermaplaning tools for anyone looking to achieve smooth, radiant, and fuzz-free skin with ease.
After experiencing the many pitfalls of traditional facial hair shaving (ingrown hairs, redness, irritation, and speedy re-growth), we contemplated alternative methods to improve skin smoothness and texture this season. Since professional dermaplaning treatments aren’t the most time-friendly option (appointments take up to an hour and cost upwards of $150 per session), and some of us can’t make it to an appointment right now, we’re turning to the next best thing: at-home dermaplaning devices.
As a certified Esthetician with many years in the skincare space, I was lucky enough to combine my love for skin treatments and science to discover which at-home dermaplaning devices truly work, and which are just another overhyped disappointment.
We tested 24 at-home dermaplaning devices, including models from Michael Todd, DermaFlash, Stacked Skincare, and Clearlift.
We rated the best five options based on the following criteria:
Results
We tested how effectively each device fully removed facial hair and exfoliated skin painlessly, aiming for smooth results and no faster hair regrowth. A few devices stood out, leaving skin silky-soft, creating the perfect base for flawless, cake-free makeup application.
Cost
If you were to go the in-office route, dermaplaning sessions could cost up to $150 per visit, with regular appointments needed to maintain smooth, exfoliated skin. We achieved impressive results with at-home devices that cost well under $150, with the top-performing model priced at just around $99.*
Safe for At-Home Use
New York-based dermatologist Dr. Josh Zeichner considers electric dermaplaning a safe option for at-home use. "Electric dermaplaning devices are designed with precision blades and safety guards to prevent accidental cuts on the skin," Dr. Zeichner explains. "Unlike traditional razors, electric dermaplaning tools provide a controlled, gentle exfoliation, making them safe and effective for regular use at home."
We focused on devices that deliver a smooth, painless experience, ensuring you get professional-level results without the risk of nicks or cuts.
We looked for the dermaplaning options on the market that safely exfoliate skin and remove peach fuzz, all from the comfort of home.
While the Michael Todd Sonicsmooth Pro Plus claims to exfoliate deeply and remove peach fuzz, some users found it a bit intense for sensitive skin. The sonic vibrations can be strong, which may cause mild irritation, and while it brightens the skin, results vary widely depending on skin type.
The DERMAFLASH device offers basic exfoliation, but it can feel underpowered for those looking for a thorough exfoliation experience. Users with thicker peach fuzz or more textured skin may find it less effective, and its ongoing need for replacement cartridges can be a drawback.
The Stacked Skincare Dermaplaning Tool is a basic handheld option that’s compact and convenient but lacks any additional features to enhance the dermaplaning experience. It’s good for light exfoliation but doesn’t offer the same smooth results as higher-end options.
