What it is

Dermaplaning uses a sterile blade held at an angle to lift away the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with the fine vellus hair — peach fuzz — that traps oil and dulls the surface.

The result is immediate. Skin feels genuinely smooth, makeup sits flat instead of catching on fine hair, and anything you apply afterwards absorbs better.

And no, the hair does not grow back thicker or darker. Vellus hair returns exactly as it was — that particular myth has been thoroughly tested.

Good candidate

  • Dull, rough surface texture
  • Noticeable peach fuzz
  • Makeup catching or looking patchy
  • Want zero downtime

Not yet / not a fit

  • Active acne breakout
  • Sunburn or broken skin
  • Very reactive or inflamed skin
  • Active cold sore

How it works

01

Dead cells and fine hair dull the surface

Vellus hair traps oil and product, and dead cells scatter light so skin looks flat.

The blade lifts them away

A sterile blade at a shallow angle removes the top layer without cutting or irritating living skin.

Light reflects properly

Smooth skin reflects light evenly, so it reads brighter immediately.

Questions

Will the hair grow back thicker or darker?

No. This is the most persistent myth in skincare. Vellus hair regrows at the same texture and colour — cutting does not change the follicle.

Does it hurt?

Not at all. It feels like a light scraping sensation. It is one of the most comfortable treatments on the menu.

How often can I have it?

Roughly monthly, matching skin cell turnover. More often than that and you risk sensitising the barrier.

Can I have it with another treatment?

Yes — it pairs particularly well before a DiamondGlow or a peel, because removing the dead layer helps the next step work better. That is why it is offered as a $50 add-on.

Is it safe if I have acne?

Not during an active breakout — a blade across inflamed skin risks spreading bacteria and irritation. Once things have settled, it is fine.
