What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is an advanced exfoliating skin treatment designed to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin using a sterile surgical blade.
This treatment instantly leaves the skin feeling smoother, brighter and more refreshed whilst helping skincare products absorb more effectively and makeup apply more seamlessly.
At Features Beauty, our dermaplaning treatments are performed within a calm and welcoming environment, with every treatment tailored to your individual skin goals and concerns.
What Can Dermaplaning Help With?
Dermaplaning can help improve:
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Uneven skin texture
- Dry or rough skin
- Build-up of dead skin cells
- Makeup sitting unevenly on the skin
- Mild pigmentation
- Overall skin brightness and glow
This treatment is ideal for clients wanting an immediate skin refresh with minimal downtime.
What Makes Our Approach Different?
At Features Beauty, we focus on creating results-led skin treatments that still feel relaxing, elevated and personalised.
Every treatment is tailored specifically to your skin type, sensitivity levels and overall skin goals. We take an honest approach to skin health and will always recommend the treatments most suited to your skin and lifestyle.
Dermaplaning is included in one of our results-driven skin packages for ongoing skin maintenance and improvement.
How Does Dermaplaning Work?
During the treatment, a sterile surgical blade is gently moved across the surface of the skin to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair.
This controlled exfoliation helps reveal fresher, smoother skin underneath whilst also allowing active skincare products to penetrate more effectively.
The treatment is painless and many clients describe it as relaxing.
What Are The Benefits Of Dermaplaning?
Benefits of dermaplaning include:
- Instantly smoother skin
- Brighter and more radiant complexion
- Improved skin texture
- Better makeup application
- Enhanced skincare absorption
- Removal of peach fuzz
- No downtime
- Healthier-looking glow
Will Dermaplaning Make Hair Grow Back Thicker?
No – dermaplaning does not cause facial hair to grow back thicker, darker or faster.
The fine vellus hair removed during treatment will grow back exactly the same texture and colour as before.
What Should I Expect During The Appointment?
Your appointment will begin with a consultation and skin assessment to ensure the treatment is suitable for your skin.
The skin will be thoroughly cleansed before the dermaplaning treatment begins. The treatment itself is comfortable and non-invasive, with most clients finding it relaxing.
Immediately afterwards, the skin will usually appear brighter, smoother and more refreshed.
How Should I Prepare For My Appointment?
Before your appointment, we recommend:
- Avoiding active skincare ingredients such as retinol or acids beforehand
- Avoiding excessive sun exposure before treatment
- Arriving with clean skin where possible
- No waxing for 7-14 days before or after
What Is The Aftercare?
Following your aftercare correctly helps maintain the best results.
After treatment, we recommend:
- Wearing SPF daily
- Avoiding active skincare products for 7-14 days
- Keeping the skin hydrated
- Avoiding excessive heat, sweating and sun exposure immediately after treatment
The skin may feel extra smooth and more sensitive to products immediately afterwards, which is completely normal.
