Exfoliation and vellus hair removal
Dermaplaning in London

Concerns it addresses
What Dermaplaning treats
A sterile surgical blade is held at an angle and drawn across the skin in short strokes, removing the outer layer of dead cells and the vellus hair sitting in it. That immediately changes how light reflects off the skin, which is why the glow is instant rather than gradual.
Face
Unwanted Hair
The fine downy hair on the cheeks and jaw that catches the light and holds foundation.
Skin
Open Pores & Texture
Skin that looks dull and feels rough, smoothed by removing what sits on the surface.
Vellus hair grows back exactly as it was.
Cutting it does not change the follicle. It can feel blunter for a few days as the cut end grows out, which is where the myth comes from.

Questions patients ask
Frequently asked questions
No. Vellus hair grows back exactly as it was. Cutting it does not change the follicle. It can feel blunter for a few days as the cut end grows out, which is where the myth comes from. It is exfoliation rather than hair removal, though the hair removal is what most people notice.
Anyone whose skin looks dull and feels rough, and anyone bothered by the fine downy hair on the cheeks and jaw. It is one of the few treatments where the result is entirely visible the same day and requires nothing of you afterwards.
Your therapist times the treatment for calm, settled skin, so the blade glides smoothly and the glow lasts.
Yes. Some clinics list it under that name. The blade, the technique and the result are identical.

It feels like light scraping, gentle enough that no anaesthetic is needed.
None. Mild pinkness for an hour at most and makeup can go straight back on.
Every four to six weeks, matching the skin’s natural turnover cycle.
Once active acne has settled, so the blade glides over calm skin. Your therapist simply moves the appointment to a better date.
Yes. Nothing targets pigment.
The clinic version gives a more refined result: a sterile surgical blade, precise angle control and a trained therapist’s hand, all of which make the difference on the face.
