Using tinkle razors at home might feel like you’re getting the same benefits as a dermaplaning treatment done by a professional but you’re not… Let me explain.
A tinkle razor has a jagged blade with micro teeth that can cause micro-tears in the skin. With this type of blade, you are only removing the hair on the surface (basically shaving your face). Using them multiple times can also harbor bacteria that can lead to infection.
A Dermaplane blade is a surgical-grade blade that is sharp, flat and smooth which does not tug & pull at the skin! It can remove vellus hair AND dead skin cells.
What professional dermaplaning offers
Professional dermaplaning allows for better absorption of your skincare products & increases hydration in your skin, giving you that beautiful glow everyone strives for!
Who should consider dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is not for everyone! If your skin is not properly prepped, it could lead to serious skin issues. This is why dermaplaning should always be done by a licensed professional.

Key comparisons: tinkle razors vs. dermaplaning
- Method: tinkle razors remove surface hair (shaving) with a jagged blade; dermaplaning uses a surgical-grade blade that is sharp, flat and smooth.
- Risk: tinkle razors can cause micro-tears and bacterial buildup with repeated use; dermaplaning is performed by professionals under sterile conditions to minimize risk.
- Skin impact: tinkle may not address dead skin cells or provide lasting hydration benefits; dermaplaning aims to remove vellus hair and dead skin cells to improve product absorption.
- Results: at-home shaving may give a brief smoother feel, while professional dermaplaning often yields enhanced glow and hydration due to subsequent treatments.
Post-treatment care and considerations
After any dermaplaning procedure, proper aftercare supports results and minimizes irritation. Follow professional guidance on cleansing, soothing products, and SPF protection to prevent exposure-related concerns.
Potential misconceptions
Dermaplaning is not inherently risky when performed by a licensed professional, but attempting the procedure at home carries higher chances of uneven hair removal, skin irritation, and infection due to improper technique and non-sterile tools.
