Dermaplaning

 

Dermaplaning is a gentle method of deeply exfoliating the skin. Performed with a surgical blade which is worked gently and methodically over the face removing the outer layer of dead skin cells as well as fine vellus hair or “Peach Fuzz” leaving the skin super smooth, fuzz free, brighter and refreshed.

 

Is this treatment right for you?

 
 

Only the fine, soft ‘vellus’ hairs are treated with Dermaplaning, not coarser, thicker or hormonal hairs. And no it won’t cause hairs to grow back differently – peach fuzz will always be peach fuzz (this will not change the structure, texture or colour of the hair growth)

Remove dead skin build up and skin dulling peach fuzz to uncover a brighter, more luminous skin with our professional Dermaplaning treatment. A non-invasive but intensive exfoliation treatment that will instantly improve uneven skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as remove skin-dulling vellus hair – giving you baby soft skin with a super smooth base for foundation.

Our Dermaplaning Treatments are combined with a hydrating mask treatment for optimal hydration. There is no down time associated with dermaplaning and it is the perfect treatment pre Skin Peels to assist with better penetration of the Peel as well as skincare product penetration.

Dermaplaning is also the perfect treatment to have before applying makeup for a big event such as a wedding, as the dermaplaning allows makeup to glide on perfectly.
