Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses a specialised sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape away the top layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair (vellus hair or “peach fuzz”). It instantly reveals a smoother, brighter complexion and creates a flawless canvas for makeup application.

What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning, an advanced technique, is also known as “skin scraping.” This procedure gets rid of unwanted hair on the face, helping to keep your skin clean. It is great for reducing the appearance of acne scars, minimising the look of imperfections and fine lines, and smoothing and hydrating rough, dry skin.
QUICK FACTS
- Safety: It is safe for most skin types, including pregnant individuals, as it does not use harsh chemicals.
- Hair Regrowth: Contrary to popular belief, hair does not grow back thicker or darker.
- Frequency: For best results, it is generally recommended every 3 to 4 weeks to align with the natural skin cell cycle.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
DEEP EXFOLIATION
Removes dull, dead skin cells, helping to minimiSe the appearance of fine lines and shallow acne scars.
BETTER PRODUCT ABSORPTION
Clears the skin surface so that serums, oils, and moisturisers penetrate more effectively.
INSTANT PEACH FUZZ REMOVAL
Safely removes fine facial hair. Contrary to popular belief, the hair does not grow back thicker or darker.
NO DOWNTIME
The procedure is painless and clients can return to their daily routine immediately.
FLAWLESS MAKE UP APPLICATION
Makeup glides on more evenly and looks more natural because it no longer sits on top of peach fuzz or dry patches.
