Benefits of Dermaplaning

Removes Vellus Hairs (peach fuzz)
How it Works
Dermaplaning is a highly effective exfoliation treatment that works by carefully gliding a surgical-grade blade at a 45° angle over the skin’s surface. Performed by our experienced dermal professionals, this method gently removes dead skin cells, peach fuzz, and the top layer of congested skin. The process reveals a fresher, smoother complexion and promotes healthier skin renewal.
This treatment is suitable for all skin types and offers immediate results with no downtime. By removing the layer of built-up debris, dermaplaning enhances the absorption of skincare products and leaves your skin looking brighter and more luminous.
For ongoing skin health and to maintain that glowing, silky-smooth look, we recommend repeating the treatment every 3-4 weeks. This will ensure that fine hair and skin congestion are consistently managed, leaving you with a refined, polished appearance every time.
What to Expect
We follow a structured protocol to ensure your comfort and achieve the best possible results.
- Before Treatment
Your therapist will guide you through every step to ensure your skin is properly prepped for optimal results. We start with a thorough cleansing to remove any impurities and oils, leaving your skin fresh and ready. For those looking to maximise the benefits, an initial consultation will help us understand your skin’s needs and tailor the treatment accordingly.
- During Treatment
Your therapist will gently glide a specialised surgical blade across your skin, removing dead skin cells and fine facial hair (often called peach fuzz) with precision. This process reveals a smoother, brighter complexion beneath. You’ll feel a soft, sweeping sensation as the blade exfoliates the skin – it’s a relaxing procedure that leaves your face feeling incredibly soft.
- After treatment
Your skin will feel instantly refreshed and revitalised. There’s no downtime – you can immediately enjoy your results.
For best outcomes, we recommend incorporating dermaplaning into your regular skincare routine. Your skin will be primed for better absorption of serums and moisturisers, and your makeup will apply more evenly than ever before.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure where a sterile, surgical blade is used to gently exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly known as “peach fuzz”). It results in smoother, brighter skin and helps improve the absorption of skincare products.
Is dermaplaning safe?
Yes, dermaplaning is a safe procedure when performed by a trained professional. It’s essential to have the treatment done in a clean, professional setting to minimise risks such as cuts, infections, or irritation.
Does dermaplaning hurt?
Dermaplaning is a painless treatment. Some people may experience a mild tingling sensation or light scraping, but it’s generally a very comfortable procedure. There is no need for anaesthetic.
How long does the procedure take?
A dermaplaning session typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your skin type and the area being treated.
Will the hair grow back thicker or darker?
No, this is a common myth. The hair removed during dermaplaning is fine vellus hair, and it will grow back with the same texture and colour as before. Dermaplaning does not affect the hair follicle or change the way hair grows.
How often should I get dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning can be done every 3 to 4 weeks, as this aligns with the skin’s natural regeneration cycle. However, your therapist can provide personalised advice based on your skin’s needs.
What are the benefits of dermaplaning?
- Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells, leading to smoother, more radiant skin.
- Increased absorption: Skincare products penetrate deeper and work more effectively after dermaplaning.
- Smoother makeup application: Makeup applies more evenly without peach fuzz and dead skin.
- Immediate results: Your skin will appear brighter and more refined right after the treatment.
What should I do before a dermaplaning session?
- Avoid using exfoliating products (like scrubs or retinol) for at least 3 days.
- Avoid sun exposure to reduce the risk of irritation.
- Ensure your skin is clean and free of makeup.
Can I combine dermaplaning with other treatments?
Yes, dermaplaning is often combined with other facial treatments, such as chemical peels or hydrating masks, for enhanced results. Your therapist can recommend a tailored plan depending on your skin goals.
Suitability
Who is a good candidate for dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types, particularly for those with dry or rough skin, mild acne scarring, or uneven skin tone. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with active acne, very sensitive skin, or certain skin conditions like rosacea or eczema.
Is there any downtime after dermaplaning?
There is little to no downtime with dermaplaning. Some people might experience slight redness or sensitivity immediately after, but this typically subsides within a few hours. You can resume normal activities right away but should avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen.
Medical Conditions
Is dermaplaning suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women?
Yes, dermaplaning is a safe option for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Since it’s a non-invasive treatment and doesn’t involve chemicals, it is often a preferred exfoliation method during pregnancy.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal. Some people may experience slight redness, irritation, or dryness immediately after the treatment. These effects are usually short-lived. Rarely, small cuts or nicks can occur during the process, but these heal quickly.
Post Care
Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning?
It’s best to give your skin a break for a few hours after dermaplaning. While you can wear makeup later the same day, many people find they don’t need as much, as the skin looks fresh and smooth.
