About dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation in which a trained therapist holds the skin taut and glides a sterile surgical-style blade across it at a shallow angle, removing the top layer of dead skin cells along with fine facial hair, often called peach fuzz. The result is skin that looks smoother and brighter straight away, and on which make-up sits noticeably better.
It is often combined with a facial or a light peel, which can penetrate more evenly once the dead skin is gone. Despite the myth, the hair does not grow back thicker or darker; it returns at the same fineness. It is not suitable over active breakouts, as the blade can spread bacteria and irritate inflamed skin.
The dermaplaning itself takes 20 to 30 minutes, or up to an hour as part of a facial. Results last three to four weeks, the usual interval between treatments. Wear SPF afterwards and avoid other exfoliants for a few days.

Frequently asked questions
How much does dermaplaning cost?
Usually £40 to £70 on its own and £60 to £100 as part of a facial. Combined dermaplaning and peel treatments cost around £80 to £120.
Will the hair grow back thicker?
No. Dermaplaning cuts the hair at the surface and it grows back with the same texture and colour. It feels slightly blunt for a day or two as it regrows, but it is not thicker.
Can I dermaplane with acne?
Not over active spots or inflamed areas. If your skin is breaking out, a practitioner will suggest another treatment until it settles.
