Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment designed to refine skin texture, improve clarity and enhance overall skin radiance. It involves the controlled use of a sterile surgical blade to gently remove the build up of dead skin cells and fine surface hair, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath.

By removing the outermost layer of dead skin, dermaplaning allows skincare products to absorb more effectively and makeup to sit seamlessly on the skin. Most clients notice an immediate improvement in skin smoothness, luminosity and overall tone, with no downtime required.

This treatment typically removes approximately two to three weeks’ worth of dead skin build-up from the surface of the face, making it an excellent option for maintaining healthy, well-functioning skin.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

  • Enhances penetration and effectiveness of skincare products

  • Improves skin smoothness and softness

  • Refines skin texture and surface irregularities

  • Helps reduce the appearance of superficial acne scarring

  • Softens the look of fine lines

  • Leaves skin brighter and more radiant

  • Suitable for all skin types and tones

  • Instant visible results with no downtime

Dermaplaning is a safe and controlled method of exfoliation when performed by a trained professional and is often combined with other treatments to enhance results.

Facial Hair and Regrowth

Dermaplaning targets only fine vellus hair on the surface of the skin. This hair grows back at the same rate, texture and colour as before. It does not stimulate thicker or darker hair growth - thats genetically impossible. Changes in hair growth are hormonally driven and not caused by dermaplaning.

 

Pre-Care (Before Dermaplaning)

Correct preparation helps ensure your skin responds well to treatment.

One Week Before Treatment

Avoid the following on the treatment area:

  • Electrolysis

  • Waxing or threading

  • Depilatory creams

  • IPL, laser or light-based treatments (IPL/LHE)

Please inform your practitioner at consultation if you have had, or are planning, any other procedures on the treatment area, as this may affect your suitability for treatment.

Two to Three Days Before Treatment

Stop using:

  • Retinals or prescription vitamin A products

  • Products containing retinol, AHA, BHA or benzoyl peroxide

  • Exfoliating or resurfacing products

  • Any harsh or potentially irritating products on the area

Less is more. We recommend keeping skincare simple and focusing on hydration and barrier support in the days leading up to treatment.
