Dermaplaning: The Treatment Behind That Instant Glow

Dermaplaning has become a go-to treatment for anyone chasing that smooth, glowing, makeup-sits-perfectly skin. Here's what actually happens during the treatment, and how long the results last.

What is dermaplaning?

A sterile surgical blade is used to gently glide across the skin's surface, removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). It's completely painless and takes around 30–45 minutes.

What results can I expect?

Instantly smoother, brighter skin, better makeup application (no more foundation catching on peach fuzz), and improved absorption of your skincare products afterwards.

How long does dermaplaning last?

Results typically last 3–4 weeks, in line with your skin's natural renewal cycle. Regular treatments every 4 weeks keep skin consistently smooth and glowing — that's why it's worth considering as a course rather than a one-off.

Is it safe for all skin types?

It's generally safe for most skin types, though active acne or certain skin conditions may mean it's not suitable — your technician will check this with you at your appointment.

Aftercare

Wear SPF daily afterwards (your skin is more sun-sensitive straight after treatment), avoid heavy exfoliation for a few days, and keep skincare simple and hydrating for 24–48 hours.

FAQs

Does dermaplaning make hair grow back thicker?

No — this is a common myth. Vellus hair grows back at the same fine texture; shaving anywhere on the body doesn't change hair thickness or rate of growth.

How much does dermaplaning cost?

A single session is £30, or £85 for a course of 3 sessions.
