If you’ve ever longed for smoother, brighter, makeup-ready skin, there’s one treatment you need to know about: Dermaplaning.
At Beautology, we’re passionate about helping you achieve skin that feels as good as it looks, and dermaplaning is one of the most popular treatments we offer to do exactly that. Whether you’re dealing with dullness, fine lines, congestion or just want a flawless canvas, dermaplaning is a simple yet powerful way to instantly refresh your skin.
In this blog, we’ll break down what dermaplaning is, how it works, who it’s for, and most importantly—why your skin will love it.
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (also known as peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin.
It’s completely pain-free, non-invasive, and requires zero downtime. The treatment leaves the skin ultra-smooth, glowing, and ready to better absorb skincare products and makeup.
Unlike traditional exfoliation methods (like scrubs or microbeads), dermaplaning provides a deeper level of exfoliation without irritating sensitive skin.
Dermaplaning does more than just give you an instant glow. It offers a wide range of skincare benefits, making it a favourite for both regular maintenance and pre-event prep.
By removing the layer of dead skin cells and surface debris, dermaplaning instantly brightens the complexion and leaves the skin feeling smooth and fresh.
Say goodbye to cakey foundation or makeup clinging to dry patches! Dermaplaning creates a perfectly even surface, allowing makeup to glide on like silk and stay flawless for longer.
Those tiny, soft facial hairs (vellus hairs) can trap dirt, oil and dead skin. Dermaplaning removes them without encouraging them to grow back thicker or darker—contrary to the common myth.
With the top layer of dead skin cells gone, your active skincare ingredients can penetrate deeper, making your homecare routine more effective.
By removing surface debris that can clog pores, dermaplaning helps reduce the likelihood of breakouts and keeps the skin cleaner overall. It’s also suitable for acne-prone skin if there are no active, inflamed breakouts at the time of treatment.
Although not a replacement for deeper treatments like microneedling or laser, regular dermaplaning can soften the appearance of fine lines and give the skin a more youthful texture.
Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types and tones, including sensitive skin. It’s a great treatment if you’re:
However, if you have active acne, eczema, rosacea or psoriasis, dermaplaning may not be suitable during flare-ups. In those cases, our expert Aestheticians at Beautology can help create a custom treatment plan that works best for your skin.
