A precise, gentle exfoliation treatment that removes dead surface cells and fine vellus hair — instantly revealing silk-smooth, luminous skin and the perfect canvas for make-up and skincare.
Facials & Skin · Dr Aesthetics London
Dermaplaning is a refined physical exfoliation technique in which a sterile, single-use surgical blade is glided across the skin at a precise angle, lifting away the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with the fine vellus hair often called peach fuzz.
The result is immediate: incredibly smooth, bright skin with a flawless surface that allows skincare to absorb more effectively and make-up to apply seamlessly. Performed by our medical team, it is safe, comfortable and entirely downtime-free — a favourite before weddings, events and photoshoots.
Why Choose This Treatment
Skin feels silk-soft and looks polished from the moment the treatment ends.
Removing the dull surface layer immediately restores light-reflecting radiance.
Foundation glides on evenly with no texture or fuzz interrupting the finish.
Serums and actives penetrate more deeply once the dead-cell barrier is removed.
No chemicals, no downtime — suitable even for sensitive and pregnant clients.
Vellus hair grows back exactly as it was — softer myths simply are not true.
