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.

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 don’t have my nails done often and Georgia is very easy to get on with so I really enjoyed my visit to Acacia. I was undecided on type of nail varnish and colour choice and Georgia suggested trying some options on my nails before making my decision- which worked perfect – thank you Georgia. Everything was explained perfectly and I thought Georgia did a great job. "

"Oh what a beautiful treatment. I’ve just come home from the luxury Japanese head spa. I can’t wait to get booked in already. My head shoulders and neck feel so light. My mini facial was lovely and my skin feels amazing. My head and hair feels so good. I really enjoyed seeing the scalp analysis before hand, and I can’t wait to see it again. It was a pleasure to have this treatment and I recommend it to anyone who feels a little stressed. Laura was friendly and professional as always "
