Dermaplaning is an exfoliating technique that uses the edge of a specialised surgical blade moved at a 45-degree angle superficially along the surface of the skin to smooth and exfoliate the surface and to remove fine hairs. While it is effective for exfoliation, dermaplaning can especially be effective for rejuvenating and brightening the overall appearance of the skin, smoothing out texture and fine lines, aiding in product absorption and removing fine vellus hair. Also referred to as ‘blading’, épi-leveling or épi-blading’, dermaplaning is a procedure that generally takes around 30-40 minutes to complete.

Dermaplaning is suitable for all skin types and is most suited to clients who have dull, lackluster skin with the appearance of fine vellus hairs. It’s also safe for pregnant and breastfeeding mums.

We recommend ongoing treatments of dermaplaning every 2-3 weeks as vellus hairs start to regrow. For exfoliation and removing dead skin cells we suggest treatments every 4 weeks.

No. Dermaplaning is a great treatment for exfoliating the skin and achieving a glowing, smooth and radiant appearance.

Dermaplaning is an entry level skin treatment and requires no pre-treatment preparation. Just avoid waxing and sunburn to the treatment area for 2 weeks prior. Dermaplaning treatments are safe for pregnant and breastfeeding mums.

During the treatment, you will feel slight pressure and a light scraping/resurfacing sensation as the blade moves across the surface of the skin. Warmth is normal.

Mild to moderate erythema may be present for a few hours. Mild flaking may occur for 2-4 days post-treatment.
