Information
Dermaplaning uses a specialised surgical blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). This process instantly reveals a smoother, brighter complexion, helping to enhance the effectiveness of skincare products and other treatments. Dermaplaning is a great standalone treatment for achieving immediate radiance and smoothness, and it’s also a fantastic add-on to many in-clinic treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or laser therapy, helping to boost their results.
Why choose Dermaplaning?
- Enhances product absorption by removing surface dead skin and peach fuzz
- Smooths skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and uneven tone
- Prepares skin for deeper treatments, maximising their effectiveness
- Provides instant, visible results with minimal recovery time
- Allows for smoother makeup application, creating a flawless finish
- Suitable for most skin types, including those with sensitive skin who may not tolerate other exfoliation methods
Ideal Candidates
Dermaplaning may benefit individuals with:
- Dull, dry, or rough skin
- Uneven skin tone or texture
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Unwanted facial peach fuzz
Treatment Details
- Duration: Approximately 45-60 minutes
- Recovery time: Minimal; slight redness may occur but usually resolves within a few hours
- Frequency: Recommended every 3–4 weeks for best results
- Aftercare: Avoid using active skincare ingredients (such as retinoids, acids, or exfoliants) for 5–7 days depending on your skin’s sensitivity. Avoid direct sun exposure and always follow your practitioner’s personalised aftercare advice. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your skin.
Combining Dermaplaning with Other Treatments
Dermaplaning is an excellent add-on to:
- Chemical peels for enhanced absorption
- Microneedling and RF-needling to allow better penetration of active ingredients
- Laser resurfacing to optimise treatment outcomes
- LED light therapy to improve light penetration and effectiveness.Ask your practitioner which combination is best suited for your skin type and concerns.

Dermaplaning – Q & A:
You’ll notice smoother, brighter skin immediately after treatment.
Absolutely! Dermaplaning works well as an add-on to many skin procedures for enhanced results.
Every 3–4 weeks is recommended to maintain smooth, glowing skin.
No, dermaplaning removes the fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) without affecting the thickness or rate of hair regrowth.
Most skin types can benefit from dermaplaning. However, a consultation is recommended to determine if it’s suitable for your specific skin concerns.
Avoid heavy exfoliation, tanning, and using active skincare ingredients (like retinoids or acids) for at least 3 days before your appointment.
Dermaplaning can improve skin texture and brightness, which may help reduce the appearance of mild pigmentation and superficial scars, but it’s not a targeted treatment for deeper pigmentation or scarring.
Most clients find dermaplaning comfortable with little to no discomfort during the procedure.
