DERMAPLANING

Dermaplaning is a safe, painless and highly effective exfoliating treatment designed to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hairs from the face and hands.

This skin treatment is perfect for combatting dull, uneven skin tone and removing pesky peach fuzz. Using a specialised blade to gently exfoliate the top layers of the skin where dirt, small hairs and debris reside, we are able to instantly reveal fresher, smoother and glowing skin! This can be added onto to certain treatments or a stand alone treatment

The Benefits of Dermaplaning

  • Dermaplaning removes excess surface skin cells revealing smoother, softer skin.

  • Increases absorption of beneficial ingredients in treatment products

  • Brighter complexion - dead skin cells buildup and vellus hair causes facial skin to look dull, grey and/or ashy.

  • Allows skin to breath, reducing congestion and asphyxiation - makes for easier extractions.

  • Softens and can reduce fine lines and acne scars. 

  • Provides clients with instant glowing results and no downtime.

FAQ

Does it hurt?

No this is a complete pain free treatment

Will I cause the hair to grow back thicker?

No it will not cause the hair to grow back thicker, we are simply gliding over the skin with a medical blade at a certain angle simply removing surface hair and not plucking it out so no stimulation of hair growth is done during the treatment

What is the aftercare with this treatment?

Avoid saunas, excessive exercise causing sweating, steam rooms, hot showers or washing your face with hot water

Avoid touching the skin with dirty hands and do not apply active skincare other than hydrating products for 24-48 hours after treatment

How often can I get this treatment?

Because it is a form of exfoliation we do not recommend to get this treatment regularly earlier that 6 week intervals as we do not want to cause an impaired barrier so your therapist will recommend a suited treatment plan for you

Do I need to prep my skin before my treatment?
