What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that uses a sterile surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair, resulting in smoother and brighter skin.

Benefits

Smoother skin texture and a youthful glow.
Reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and shallow acne scars.
Improved skin tone by minimizing dark spots and pigmentation.
Managed acne and clearer pores.
Enhanced product absorption for better skincare results.

Is This Right for You?

Clients who want flawless makeup application, a hair-free finish, and a brighter, more luminous complexion, particularly those with peach-fuzz (vellus hair) that traps product, dulls photos, or makes foundation patchy..

You may benefit if you have:

Dull or rough skin texture
Uneven skin tone
Fine lines
Dry or dehydrated skin
Clients seeking smooth makeup application

Pre-Treatment Care

Drink 1.5-2 litres of water daily for 48 hours before
Pause retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, and exfoliating scrubs 3 days prior to reduce skin sensitivity
Avoid waxing, threading, or bleaching the face for 1 week before
Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 3-5 days before
Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face
Let us know if you have any active breakouts, cold sores, moles, or raised lesions in the treatment area

Post-Treatment Care

Drink 2 litres of water daily for a few days to support the freshly exfoliated skin
Apply SPF 50+ every morning, the newly revealed skin is more photosensitive for 5-7 days
Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser morning and evening
Pause actives (retinol, AHAs/BHAs, vitamin C) for 3-5 days
Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga, and chlorine for 24 hours
Skip heavy makeup for 24 hours if your skin feels sensitive; mineral makeup is fine straight away
Do not wax, thread, or bleach the face for at least 7 days
Return every 3-4 weeks to align with your skin's natural renewal cycle
Drink 1.5-2 litres of water daily for 24-48 hours before
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin for maximum light penetration
Avoid tanning beds and aggressive sun exposure in the 3 days before
Remove contact lenses before treatment, we provide protective eyewear
Keep hydrated with 2 litres of water daily
Apply SPF 50+ every morning, while LED itself contains no UV, good sun protection supports the collagen response
Resume normal skincare immediately, no restrictions on makeup or actives
If combined with another treatment (peel, microneedling, laser), follow that treatment's aftercare instructions
Avoid very hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms for a few hours if you feel warm (rare)
Book sessions in a consistent cadence (weekly or bi-weekly) for cumulative anti-ageing or acne benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the hair grow back thicker or darker?

No. This is one of the most common myths. Vellus hair is genetically programmed and its texture and colour cannot be changed by shaving. The hair regrows at the same rate and thickness as before, it simply feels different for the first few days as blunt ends emerge.

How is dermaplaning different from shaving at home?

Dermaplaning uses a sterile, #10 surgical-grade blade held at a precise 45° angle by a trained therapist. It removes both vellus hair AND the outermost layer of dead skin (physical exfoliation), something a standard razor cannot safely do.

Is it painful? Are there any cuts?

It is completely painless and, performed by a trained therapist, extremely safe. You may feel a light scraping sensation, similar to shaving. Our therapists use sterile blades for every client.

How often should I have it done?

Every 3-4 weeks, aligned with the natural skin cell turnover cycle. More frequent treatment is unnecessary and may compromise the skin barrier.

Can I have dermaplaning if I have acne or rosacea?

Not during active breakouts, inflamed lesions, or moderate-to-severe rosacea, the blade can aggravate inflammation or spread bacteria. Once your skin is clear and calm, dermaplaning can be a gentle addition to your routine.

Can I combine it with other treatments?

Yes, dermaplaning is often paired with a mild peel, LED, or hydrating facial in the same session. Because it removes dead skin, it enhances the penetration of any actives applied afterwards.
