Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning reveals smooth, brighter looking skin by removing dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the top layer of the skin.
This is carried out using a sterile scalpel which is gently moved over the skin by an Aesthetic Therapist.
​
This treatment is perfect to have before any facial as it allows products to penetrate deeper.

What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure for your skin. Your healthcare provider uses a special instrument to shave away the uppermost layers of your skin.
​
Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scars or other skin imperfections by revealing newer, undamaged skin. It can make your skin look younger; though, it doesn’t stop the aging process. Some people also get dermaplaning for hair removal. This is only a temporary fix because your hair will grow back.
​
Most people get the procedure on their face, but you can do it anywhere on your body.

Our skin needling procedure is the most comfortable on the market, so much so that you won’t need any anaesthetic cream. Most people describe it as a light scratching sensation.
This is an effective treatment for a variety of skin types and concerns, but we will always check for contraindications, such as active eczema, keloid scarring or abnormal wound healing. One of the reasons we begin any treatment with a consultation is to assess your skin and build your treatment plan around it.
Infection to the treated area is extremely unlikely as all microneedling procedures are carried out with sterile equipment in clinical conditions. We will give you detailed aftercare instructions to continue to protect your skin.
