Reveal Your Skin's Natural Radiance

Daily environmental exposure, cellular stress, and natural aging processes cause dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) to accumulate on the surface of your face. This buildup blocks active product absorption, traps excess dirt and oils, causes makeup to look cakey, and leaves your skin looking dull or dry.

Dermaplaning is a highly effective, clinical physical exfoliation treatment. Using a sterile surgical scalpel held at a precise angle, our trained aesthetics clinicians gently sweep away this superficial layer of debris and fine hair. This process instantly triggers your skin's natural cell renewal, bringing a fresh, smooth, and vibrant complexion to the surface.

Sterile Standards & Professional Safety

Because dermaplaning involves a surgical blade, it is essential to have it performed by medical professionals in a sterile environment. At Kingshurst Dental Surgery, we operate under rigorous cross-infection guidelines and clinical safety protocols. This guarantees your treatment is safe, clean, and highly precise.

Airbrushed

Flawless Makeup Finish

By removing the fine hair and dry flakes that cause makeup to sit unevenly, your foundation glides on smoothly for a seamless finish.

Skincare Boost

Deeper Product Penetration

Without the barrier of dead cells and hair, your moisturizers, serums, and anti-aging treatments absorb deeper and work more effectively.

Cell Renewal

Promotes Regeneration

Exfoliating the top layer stimulates natural skin renewal, helping to soften fine lines, sun damage, and minor acne scarring.

The Journey

The Treatment Process

Your dermaplaning facial is a comfortable, relaxing clinical procedure completed in four simple stages.

1

1. Double Cleanse

We perform a deep clinical double cleanse to prep your skin, ensuring all makeup, oil, and surface impurities are fully removed.

2

2. Exfoliation

Holding the skin taut, our clinician gently sweeps the sterile dermaplaning blade across the face to lift away dead cells and vellus hair.

3

3. Hydration Boost

We apply a nourishing, medical-grade hydrating mask or vitamin-rich serums to deeply soothe and feed your freshly exposed skin.

4

4. Sun Protection

To conclude, we apply a high-quality broad-spectrum SPF sunscreen to protect your delicate, fresh skin barrier from environmental exposure.

Aftercare & Expectations

Post-Treatment Care & Hair Growth Facts

Post-Facial Care Instructions

  • Apply Sunscreen Daily: Your freshly exfoliated skin is highly sensitive to UV rays. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily for at least 7 days.
  • Avoid Active Skincare: Refrain from using Retinol, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acids, or facial scrubs for 3 to 5 days post-treatment.
  • Hydrate and Moisturise: Keep your skin well-hydrated with a gentle, non-irritating, fragrance-free moisturizer to support the skin barrier.
  • No Heavy Makeup: Avoid applying heavy foundations or cosmetic powders for the first 24 hours to keep your fresh pores clear.

The Truth About Hair Growth

  • Myth: "Facial hair will grow back thicker or darker" — This is biologically impossible. Shaving or dermaplaning does not alter the structure of vellus hair.
  • Fact: Hair grows back exactly the same — The fine peach fuzz will return with the exact same soft texture, colour, and thickness.
  • Treatment Frequency: We recommend booking a dermaplaning facial every 4 to 6 weeks to coincide with your skin's natural regeneration cycle.

What to Avoid Immediately After

  • Avoid heavy workouts, saunas, steam rooms, and hot baths for 24 hours.
  • Do not scratch, pick, or rub the exfoliated skin.
  • Avoid facial waxing or chemical peels for at least 2 weeks.
Your Questions Answered

Dermaplaning FAQs

Does a dermaplaning facial hurt?
Not at all. Dermaplaning is a completely painless and non-invasive treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle, light scraping or brushing across the skin. Many find the facial highly relaxing.
Will dermaplaning cause my facial hair to grow back thicker?
No. This is a common myth. The fine hair on your face is vellus hair, which is structurally different from terminal hair (found on your head or body). Dermaplaning only removes the hair at the surface and does not alter the follicle, so it will grow back exactly the same texture, color, and rate.
Can I get dermaplaning if I have active acne?
If you have active, inflammatory, cystic, or pustular acne, we cannot perform dermaplaning on those areas. Running the blade over active breakouts can cause irritation, slow down healing, and potentially spread bacteria. We will assess your skin first during your consultation.
How is clinical dermaplaning different from using a face razor at home?
Clinical dermaplaning uses a sterile, medical-grade surgical scalpel blade held at a precise angle by a trained professional. This removes the outer layers of dead skin cells (deep physical exfoliation) along with the hair. Home razors are duller, less sanitary, and only cut the hair, which can lead to nicks, irritation, and ingrown hairs.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
There is zero downtime. You can return to your daily routine immediately after the treatment. Your skin may look slightly flushed or pink for up to an hour post-treatment due to stimulated circulation, but this resolves very quickly.
How often should I get a dermaplaning facial?
We recommend booking a dermaplaning facial every 4 to 6 weeks. This matches your skin's natural 30-day cell turnover cycle and keeps your complexion continuously smooth, bright, and free of peach fuzz.
