What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a popular skincare treatment that involves the use of a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (often referred to as "peach fuzz") from the surface of the skin. This non-invasive procedure helps to reveal smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin underneath. Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types and can be performed as a standalone treatment or in combination with other procedures, such as chemical peels or facials.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
Exfoliation: Effectively removes dead skin cells, promoting cellular turnover and revealing fresher, healthier skin.
Smoother Skin Texture: Helps to create a smoother surface, making makeup application more even and flawless.
Improved Absorption: Enhances the absorption of skincare products, allowing for deeper penetration and increased effectiveness.
Reduction of Fine Lines: Regular treatments can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, contributing to a more youthful appearance.
Brightening Effect: Removes dull, dead skin, leading to a more radiant and brighter complexion.
Safe and Quick Procedure: Dermaplaning is a quick treatment, typically lasting 30 to 45 minutes, with no downtime required.
Non-invasive: The procedure is painless and does not involve any harsh chemicals or invasive techniques.
How it Works
After cleansing the skin, a trained professional uses a sterile, fine-blade scalpel at a 45-degree angle to gently "shave" the surface of the skin. This process removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine hairs, revealing a softer, more luminous complexion beneath.
The treatment takes around 30–45 minutes and requires no downtime, making it the perfect glow-up option before a special occasion or as part of a regular skincare routine.
How Much Does It Cost?

Pre-Care for Dermaplaning
1. Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a qualified skincare professional to discuss your skin concerns, medical history, and determine if dermaplaning is suitable for you.
2. Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure and avoid tanning (both natural and artificial) for at least one week prior to your treatment to reduce skin sensitivity.
3. Skip Exfoliating Products: Refrain from using exfoliating products (such as scrubs, retinoids, or acids) for at least 3-5 days before your appointment to avoid irritation.
4. Inform Your Practitioner: Notify your practitioner about any skin conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking that may affect the treatment.
5. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to ensure your skin is well-hydrated.
Aftercare for Dermaplaning
1. Avoid Touching the Face: Refrain from touching, rubbing, or picking at the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent irritation and infection.
2. Keep Skin Clean: Use a gentle cleanser to wash your face in the days following the treatment. Avoid harsh soaps or exfoliants.
3. Moisturise: Apply a hydrating serum or moisturiser to help soothe the skin and maintain hydration. Look for products that are free from fragrances and irritants.
4. Sun Protection: Protect your skin from direct sunlight by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. This is crucial, as the skin may be more sensitive post-treatment.
5. Avoid Heat Exposure: Limit exposure to heat sources such as saunas, hot tubs, and intense workouts for at least 48 hours to reduce the risk of irritation.
6. Skip Makeup: Avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after the treatment to allow the skin to breathe and recover.
7. Monitor for Side Effects: Any redness, should subside within a few hours to a couple of days. If you experience prolonged irritation, contact your skincare professional.
8. Follow-Up Treatment: Discuss with your practitioner when to schedule your next dermaplaning session. Regular treatments (every 4-6 weeks) can help maintain results and promote healthy skin.
By incorporating dermaplaning into your skincare routine, you can achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion. Following the pre-care and aftercare guidelines will help ensure optimal results and a positive experience.
