Experience Smooth, Radiant Skin with Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is one of the most effective and sought-after facial treatments available today. It’s a non-invasive procedure that gently exfoliates the skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and glowing. This highly effective treatment is designed to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly known as “peach fuzz”) from the face, revealing a brighter and more youthful complexion.
Whether you want to achieve smoother skin, improve the absorption of skincare products, or create a flawless base for makeup application, dermaplaning offers a multitude of benefits for all skin types. It’s especially ideal for those seeking immediate results without any downtime.
In this guide, we will take a closer look at what dermaplaning is, the benefits it offers, how it works, and why it could be the perfect treatment for your skincare goals.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique that uses a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently scrape off the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair. The process is performed by our trained aestheticians in a safe, controlled environment to ensure the best results. While it may sound intimidating, the procedure is painless and relatively quick, often taking about 30-45 minutes to complete.
The blade used in dermaplaning is designed to delicately glide over the surface of your skin, effectively removing debris and buildup without causing any damage or discomfort. The result is an instantly smoother, brighter complexion that feels refreshed and rejuvenated.
The Benefits
Many clients seek dermaplaning for its wide range of benefits, both cosmetic and practical. Below, we’ll explore the key advantages that make dermaplaning an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their skin’s appearance and texture:
Instantly Smoother Skin One of the primary benefits of dermaplaning is the immediate improvement in skin texture. By removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz, the surface of your skin becomes ultra-smooth, giving it a refined and polished appearance. This makes it an ideal treatment for those who want to achieve that coveted “glass skin” look.
Brighter, More Radiant Complexion As dead skin cells are exfoliated, the underlying fresh, healthy skin is revealed. This contributes to a brighter and more even-toned complexion. If you’ve been dealing with dull or tired-looking skin, dermaplaning can be a game-changer, helping you achieve a natural glow.
Improved Product Absorption After dermaplaning, your skin is better able to absorb topical skincare products. With the removal of the outer layer of dead cells, serums, moisturisers, and other treatments can penetrate more deeply and work more effectively. This means you’ll get the most out of your skincare routine, maximising the benefits of each product.
Flawless Makeup Application If you love applying makeup, you’ll appreciate the difference dermaplaning can make. The removal of peach fuzz and dry skin allows for smoother foundation application. Your makeup will glide on effortlessly and blend more seamlessly, creating a flawless, airbrushed finish that looks natural and polished.
Non-Invasive and Pain-Free Unlike other facial treatments that may involve chemicals, lasers, or abrasives, dermaplaning is completely non-invasive. The procedure is quick, painless, and doesn’t require any downtime. You can return to your daily activities immediately after your session, making it perfect for those with busy schedules.
Reduces the Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles By encouraging cell turnover and removing dead skin cells, dermaplaning can help soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time. Although it won’t completely erase deeper lines, regular treatments can contribute to a smoother, more youthful complexion.
Safe for All Skin Types Dermaplaning is suitable for nearly all skin types, including those with sensitive skin. However, if you have active acne, it’s recommended to consult with a professional to determine the best course of action. For those with other skin conditions like rosacea, dermaplaning can often be adapted to meet your specific needs.
How It Works
During a dermaplaning session, our fully trained aestheticians will use a sterilised surgical blade to gently exfoliate the surface of your skin. This process is highly controlled and precise, ensuring that only the outermost layer of skin is removed without any risk of irritation or damage.
Here’s what you can expect during the treatment process:
Cleansing
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any dirt, oil, and impurities before the treatment begins. This ensures that the skin is properly prepared for the procedure.Exfoliation
Using a sterile surgical blade, your practitioner will hold your skin taut while gently gliding the blade across the surface of your face. This removes dead skin cells, peach fuzz, and other debris.Soothing and Hydrating
After the exfoliation, your skin will be treated with soothing and hydrating serums or creams. Since your skin is more receptive to products after dermaplaning, these will help to lock in moisture and provide additional nourishment.Results
The results are immediate—you’ll notice smoother, brighter skin right away. Your skin may appear slightly pink or flushed immediately after the treatment, but this should subside within a few hours.
Is Dermaplaning Right for You?
Dermaplaning is a versatile treatment that can benefit a wide range of clients. If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to improve your skin’s texture, brightness, and overall appearance, this may be the perfect option for you. Additionally, dermaplaning is an excellent choice if you:
- Have dull or uneven skin tone
- Want smoother makeup application
- Are seeking to improve product absorption
- Are looking for a safe, painless exfoliation method
However, if you have active breakouts or highly sensitive skin, it’s best to consult with a skincare professional before booking your appointment. They can help assess whether dermaplaning is the most suitable treatment for your needs.
How Often Should You Have It Done?
The frequency of dermaplaning treatments can vary depending on your skin type and goals. Most clients benefit from having dermaplaning done every 4-6 weeks, which allows for ongoing exfoliation and skin renewal. Your aesthetician will help you determine the ideal treatment plan based on your unique skin concerns.
