Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a controlled manual exfoliation treatment designed to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the skin’s surface using a sterile surgical blade.

At Me Skin & Body, dermaplaning is used to improve skin smoothness, enhance product absorption and create a more refined skin texture. It is particularly effective for clients wanting immediate skin polish and a smoother makeup finish.

This treatment is suitable for most skin types, especially those experiencing dullness or surface congestion.

How dermaplaning works

Dermaplaning involves the use of a sterile surgical blade that is gently glided across the skin at a controlled angle.

This process removes:

Accumulated dead skin cells from the epidermis
Fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”) from the skin surface
The result is a smoother skin texture and more even surface reflection of light, which can improve overall skin appearance immediately after treatment.

Dermaplaning – $185 (30 minutes)

This treatment is ideal for:

Improving skin smoothness and texture
Enhancing makeup application
Removing fine facial hair that cannot be treated with laser (such as blonde vellus hair)
Dull or congested skin
Dermaplaning does not change hair growth structure and will not cause hair to grow back thicker or darker.

Add-on option

Dermaplaning can be added to other facial treatments for enhanced exfoliation and product penetration.

This allows for improved absorption of active ingredients and a smoother overall finish to treatment outcomes.

Featured treatment

Dermaplaning is also included in our Skin Fitness Facial, where it is combined with advanced skin therapies for enhanced skin refinement and glow.

What to expect

Treatment is generally well tolerated and described as a light scraping sensation across the skin.

There is minimal to no downtime. Some mild redness may be present immediately after treatment, which typically settles quickly.

Skin often appears smoother, brighter and more refined immediately following treatment.

Important considerations

Dermaplaning is not suitable for:

Active acne
Inflamed or compromised skin
Highly reactive or sensitised skin
Suitability is always assessed prior to treatment to ensure skin safety and optimal results.

Clinical note

Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation treatment designed for surface refinement rather than structural skin change.

It is often used as part of a broader skin plan and may be combined with other treatments depending on skin condition and goals.
