Dermaplaning is a gentle yet effective exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine "peach fuzz" from the surface of the skin using a sterile surgical blade. This reveals an instantly smoother, brighter complexion and allows skincare products and makeup to apply more flawlessly.
The treatment typically takes 20–30 minutes and is completely painless, with no downtime. Skin is left feeling silky-soft and radiant, making it an ideal choice as both a standalone glow treatment or as a preparation step before other facials and advanced procedures.
With regular sessions, dermaplaning helps to improve skin texture, dullness, and uneven tone, promoting a fresh, polished appearance with long-lasting softness.
For the first 24 hours: avoid heavy makeup and active skincare ingredients such as retinol, AHAs, and BHAs. SPF is essential. Use a gentle cleanser only.
No. This is one of the most common myths about dermaplaning. The fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) removed during the treatment grows back exactly as it was before. Dermaplaning does not affect the hair follicle, so there is no change to growth rate, texture, or colour.
Yes, dermaplaning is generally very well suited to sensitive skin as it uses no chemicals or harsh ingredients. However, it is not recommended for skin with active acne, rosacea flare-ups, or open wounds. A brief consultation before your first treatment ensures it is right for you.
Dermaplaning is typically recommended every 3 to 4 weeks, which aligns with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle. Regular treatments help to maintain a consistently smooth, bright complexion and can improve the effectiveness of your skincare routine in between sessions.
Dermaplaning works beautifully as a preparation step before treatments such as a bio peel or microneedling, as it allows active ingredients to penetrate more deeply into freshly exfoliated skin. It also makes makeup application noticeably smoother for days afterwards.
Not at all. Dermaplaning is a completely painless treatment. Most clients describe it as a gentle scraping or stroking sensation across the skin. There is no discomfort during or after the procedure.
