Dermaplaning
A gentle, hand-held exfoliation that leaves skin smoother, brighter and free of fine vellus hair.
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive aesthetic procedure that uses a sterile blade to gently remove surface dead skin cells and vellus (peach-fuzz) hair from the face. The goal is purely cosmetic: visibly softer, more even skin that reflects light better and makes a great base for the products applied afterwards. It is not a medical treatment and does not address deep scarring or skin laxity.

FAQ
Does dermaplaning hurt?
It is not usually painful. It feels like a very gentle scraping at the skin's surface and most people find it comfortable.
How long do results last?
Results are immediate but temporary. As the skin naturally renews, the smoother look tends to last a few weeks, varying from person to person.
Will the hair grow back thicker or darker?
No — this is a myth. The vellus hair is cut at the surface and grows back with the same thickness and colour as before.
Can I have dermaplaning if I have acne?
On skin with active inflammatory acne, open lesions or irritation, dermaplaning is not advised. In those cases it's best to assess the skin first and consider another approach.
What aftercare should I follow?
For the first few days keep it simple: gentle cleansing, moisturising and, above all, daily sunscreen. Avoid acids, retinoids and scrubs until the skin settles.
