Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade to remove the top layer of dead skin cells and the fine vellus hair most people call peach fuzz. The result is skin that's noticeably smoother and brighter straight away, with better product absorption and a makeup finish that's hard to achieve any other way. One of those treatments that genuinely surprises people the first time.
Book Your Dermaplanning Facial Treatment
The difference is noticeable straight after the first treatment. The skin feels different to the touch and looks more even, bright and healthy. It's one of the more immediate results you'll get from a facial.
Vellus hair traps oil, holds onto dead skin cells and makes foundation sit unevenly. Removing it makes a visible difference to how makeup applies and how the skin looks in natural light.
No scrub or enzyme does what a blade does. Weeks of dead cell build-up is removed in a single pass, revealing fresh skin underneath and improving the skin's overall tone and texture.
Remove the surface barrier and your serums, moisturisers and professional treatments penetrate more effectively. The skincare you use at home works harder after a dermaplaning session.
After a consultation and cleanse, your therapist uses a sterile blade held at a specific angle to gently scrape across the skin's surface. It feels like a light scratching sensation. It's not painful, and most people relax pretty quickly once they realise how mild it is. The exfoliation takes around 20 to 30 minutes. Depending on which treatment you've chosen, the session then continues with a nourishing mask, serum, or chemical peel. Total time runs from 60 to 100 minutes. Straight afterwards, skin feels different to the touch and looks noticeably more even and bright. Makeup goes on differently too. Results last around 3 to 4 weeks before vellus hair regrows and the skin cycle calls for another session. Most people come monthly.
If you've got something coming up and you want your skin and makeup to look their best, dermaplaning a few days beforehand makes a real difference to how everything sits.
You can go straight back to normal activities. No redness, no sensitivity, no post-treatment period to manage. Most people put their makeup on and go.
A persistent myth worth clearing up: vellus hair grows back at exactly the same texture and colour as before. Dermaplaning doesn't change the hair follicle.
Suitable for most skin types and concerns. The main exceptions are active acne, rosacea, eczema and very reactive skin. We check suitability during consultation.

"I had a lovely comfortable morning with Tierra today. She made me feel at ease throughout the whole of my treatments. She always spoke to me about what she was doing so I was aware of what she needed to do. Would highly recommend Tierra and have already booked up for another few treatments with her in the New Year. Thanku Tierra I love my nails and my back, neck and shoulder massage was absolutely amazing. "

"I had a blissful 60 minute Japanese head spa treatment with Faye – such a wonderful experience from start to finish. I would recommend anyone that wishes the hair washing part of their salon visit lasted longer to try this; a full hour of head and hair pampering, along with hand, arm and shoulder massage. The products used smelled amazing, and as I had the treatment at 7.30pm I slept like a log that night! Thank you! "

"I had the most relaxing, amazing, hot stone massage and facial yesterday. I could have laid there for hours. I don’t treat myself very often but I must more often. I was so relaxed and slept like a baby last night. Thank you Faye. ❤️"

"I booked very last minute as I had a voucher my friends got me for my birthday back in October. I felt really stressed out after the holiday and Christmas lead up and booked in a massage and facial on Boxing Day as a last minute bit of much needed ‘me time’. Kimberley didn’t disappoint. The aromatherapy massage was utterly soothing and relaxing and my facial….out of this world!!! I felt like me again so thank you Kimberley. ♥️"

"For longer than I can remember I’ve felt honestly quite low about how my eyebrows seemed to me, having had children it’s taken me so long to prioritise things for myself occasionally and I’m just so happy I finally did, I feel like a new woman, it’s helped me feel more confident. So happy and had such a lovely chat with Sam, who was so helpful talking to me about this first recently and giving great advice on what’s best to do"
