Dermaplaning Facial
Exfoliating & Peach Fuzz Removal Smooth, Bright, and Radiant Skin
The Dermaplaning Facial is a professional exfoliation and hair removal treatment designed to reveal smooth, glowing skin. Using precise manual dermaplaning techniques, this facial gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair “peach fuzz”, leaving the complexion soft, polished, and perfectly prepped for skincare absorption or makeup application.
Suitable for most skin types
The Science: Exfoliation & Hair Removal
Dermaplaning is a manual, non-invasive exfoliation method:
This treatment is ideal for achieving instant smoothness and radiance without the use of harsh chemicals or abrasive techniques.
-
Removes dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion
-
Eliminates fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”), which can trap oil and debris, contributing to dullness
-
Improves product penetration, maximising the efficacy of masks, serums, and moisturisers
-
Creates a silky-smooth canvas for makeup application
Ideal pre-treatment preparation for other aesthetic procedures or makeup application especially for Brides
Each Dermaplaning Facial begins with a personalised consultation to assess your skin type and suitability for exfoliation.
The treatment includes:
-
Double Cleanse – removes makeup, oil, and impurities to prepare the skin for gentle exfoliation
-
Dermaplaning – performed using a sterile, single-use surgical blade, the uppermost layer of dead skin and fine facial hair is carefully removed, improving skin texture, brightness, and smoothness
-
Mask – tailored to hydrate, calm, and restore the skin after exfoliation
-
Prescriptive Finishing Products – lock in moisture, protect the skin barrier, and enhance post-treatment glow
*The result is silky-smooth, radiant skin, with improved texture and enhanced receptivity to active skincare ingredients.
-
No, the treatment is painless, but there is a small chance of slight nicks from the blade, but this is rare.

Aftercare & Recovery
-
Throughout the rest of the day please drink plenty of water
-
Avoid wearing make-up for at least eight hours after a facial treatment
-
Do not undertake any other facial skincare treatments within 48 hours of having a facial
-
Avoid sunbathing, and sunbeds for up to 48 hours
-
No Sunbeds, Sunbathing or Saunas s for 48 hours after having a facial
-
Do not apply any other exfoliating skincare products for 72 hours after having a facial especially those containing AHA’s, BHA’s and Glycolic/Salicylic Acids
-
Always use a Physical SPF sunscreen to block ultraviolet A&B rays
-
Do not pick at skin as this could cause scarring
-
Please be aware that as the fine vellus hair grows back, it is important to keep the treatment area well moisturised to prevent small ingrown hairs /bumps under the skin appearing.
*Downtime is minimal, with most clients returning to daily activities immediately.

Advanced Clinical Expertise You Can Trust
As a highly qualified Advanced Skin Science Practitioner with extensive training across injectable treatments, microneedling, chemical peels, regenerative therapies, and advanced skin boosters, every procedure is delivered with precision, safety, and a deep understanding of skin biology.
Aesthetic treatments should never be one-size-fits-all. When performed by under-qualified or inexperienced practitioners, treatments can lead to complications such as inflammation, barrier disruption, pigmentation irregularities, poor aesthetic outcomes, or even long-term tissue damage.
More aggressive does not mean more effective. Whether the treatment involves injectables, energy-based devices, or skin resurfacing, excessive or poorly judged intervention can compromise skin integrity and accelerate ageing rather than improve it.
A clinically guided approach ensures that every treatment plan is tailored, evidence-based, and designed to enhance results while protecting the long-term health and function of your skin.
