Dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment to exfoliate the top layer of the skin. This procedure also removes the fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). The treatment has grown in popularity over recent years but has been around for many hundreds of years and was loved by Cleopatra no less!.
This tried and tested procedure has been used by numerous celebrities, which means it has gained greater exposure and popularity. Dermaplaning has very few to no adverse side effects and is a relatively quick procedure. If you would like a deep exfoliation for your skin with no chemicals, then dermaplaning could be the solution for you – it even works for sensitive skin types.
Our skin consultant will expertly abrade the surface of the skin using very fine intricate strokes with a surgical blade. This procedure is especially beneficial for patients who have a lot of vellus hair on their skin, which can get a buildup of oils and dirt in the follicles causing skin problems. Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scars and other skin imperfections by revealing the newer, undamaged skin beneath. The treatment gives a fresher, smoother appearance to the skin.
Dermaplaning can be used on patients with rough skin, dull or dry skin, those with peach fuzz, skin damaged by skin exposure, and people with mild acne scarring, and fine lines and wrinkles. If you have facial eczema, an active case of acne, cold sores, skin tags, or psoriasis, contact us to talk through the best course of action for you.
Patients are sometimes concerned that their facial hair will grow back heavier and darker after dermaplaning, but this isn’t the case. If the hair is superficial vellus hair, it will grow back at the same rate and strength as before the treatment. This has been recognised by clinics around the world who have kept records on hair re-growth following dermaplaning.
If you are interested in dermaplaning, and would like to find out more, book a consultation with our friendly team. We will have a thorough consultation with you to understand your skin goals. We will examine your skin, and explain what will happen during the procedure and provide relevant aftercare advice.
