Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a safe, effective way to rejuvenate the overall appearance of the skin. It is a non-invasive, easy, fast and painless approach, to help achieve refreshed and youthful skin.
How is it done?
It requires the use of a sterile, surgical scalpel, to gently ‘shave’ the skins surface, remixing the top-mist layer of dead skin, along with fine, vellus hair/ peach fuzz. This can can trap dirt and oil, causing breakouts and a dull complexion.
What is involved?
The process of Dermaplaning is one of removing dead skin cells, minimising old scars from acne and sun damage, soothing the skin, removing fine hairs, reducing the visibility of large pores or pigment variation, releasing clogged pores and encouraging the skin to produce new skin cells and collagen, for a more youthful appearance.
When will the results be visible?
The results are immediate and there’s very little downtime. Unlike other exfoliating treatments such as microdermabrasion, Dermaplaning is suitable for all skin types. The physical exfoliation triggers the cell regeneration process and allows products to better penetrate the skin.

Dermaplaning FAQ's
No, this treatment uses a blade which moves superficially across the surface of the skin at a 45 degree angle. There is no cutting, or breaking of the skin to cause discomfort.
No, this is not physically possible. The soft vellus hairs simply grow back in a normal growth cycle, exactly the same way.
This is an extremely safe procedure when carried out by a trained professional. The skin is prepared for treatment, and the blade moves across the skin, which is held taut, and gently scrapes the skin. The risk of cutting is very minimal.
The treatment can be performed every 3-4 weeks. The treatment removes 2-3 weeks of dead skin cells, and works when a full cycle of skin regeneration is complete.
