Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (often referred to as "peach fuzz") from the face. The process involves gliding a sterile surgical scalpel blade over the surface of the skin to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. This treatment promotes cell turnover, helping to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and enhance the effectiveness of skincare products.


Dermaplaning is safe for most skin types and requires no downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking a quick, effective way to achieve a refreshed, glowing appearance.

What to expect

Treatment FAQs

Your dermaplaning treatment begins with a thorough cleanse of your skin to remove any makeup, dirt, or oils. I will then use a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the surface of your skin, carefully gliding the tool in short, precise strokes. You may feel a light scraping sensation, but the procedure is generally pain-free.


The treatment usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated, and there’s no downtime afterwards. You may experience mild redness immediately after the procedure, but this typically fades within a few hours. After dermaplaning, your skin will feel incredibly smooth and makeup will go on more evenly. It's also common to notice a healthy glow as the dead skin cells and peach fuzz are removed.


Does dermaplaning treatment hurt?

No. You might feel a light scraping sensation, but the dermaplaning procedure is generally pain free and well tolerated by most patients.

How long does dermaplaning take?

My dermaplaning treatment usually takes about 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Are there any side effects to dermaplaning?

Immediately after dermaplaning treatment, you might experience mild redness of the skin but this typically fades within a few hours.

Is there anything I should avoid after dermaplaning?

Yes: avoid sun exposure and always wear sunscreen. Don't use a sauna/hot tub/steam room for the first 24 hours, don't use any retinol skin products for two days and don't use foundation base make up for 24 hours.

How often should I have dermaplaning treatment?

You might be advised to schedule regular dermaplaning sessions every 4-6 weeks to maintain a fresh, radiant complexion.

Should I allow for any downtime after my dermaplaning appointment?

No, dermaplaning has minimal to no downtime. Some people may experience slight redness or sensitivity, but this usually subsides within a few hours.

Does dermaplaning make the hair grow back thicker and darker?

No, dermaplaning does not alter hair growth. The hair will grow back at the same rate, thickness, and colour as before.
