Question 1

What Is Dermaplaning?

Accepted Answer

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation treatment that involves using a fine, sterile blade to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells and soft facial hair (peach fuzz). It’s a pain-free procedure that instantly smooths the skin, enhances glow, and allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively.

Question 2

What’s The Difference Between Basic And Luxury Dermaplaning?

Accepted Answer

Basic Dermaplaning is a quick, no-fuss option for instant glow. This includes:

• Sterile blade exfoliation
 • Smoother texture, improved product absorption, makeup-ready finish
 • No downtime – ideal for busy schedules or pre-event prep
 • Safe in pregnancy

Luxury Dermaplaning includes everything in the basic treatment plus a full skincare finish:

• Cleanse
 • Tone
 • Face mask tailored to your skin needs
 • Moisturiser and SPF to complete the glow

Question 3

Who Is This Treatment For?

Accepted Answer

Dermaplaning is ideal for anyone seeking:

• A smoother complexion
 • Instant glow before an event
 • Makeup that applies more flawlessly
 • Gentle exfoliation without chemicals
 • Better skincare absorption

It’s safe for most skin types—including sensitive skin—and especially beneficial for those wanting a non-invasive refresh.

However, dermaplaning may not be suitable for those with:

• Active acne or inflamed breakouts
 • Rosacea or eczema flare-ups
 • Open wounds or infections
 • Very oily or thick facial hair (may need alternative treatments)

Question 4

What To Expect During An Appointment?

Accepted Answer

1. Consultation:
Nicky will assess your skin and discuss your goals to determine if dermaplaning is right for you.

2. Preparation:
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and dried to prep for treatment.

3. Treatment:
A sterile surgical blade is gently glided over the skin’s surface in small strokes to exfoliate and remove hair.

4. Post-care:
A soothing serum, hydrating mask or SPF may be applied to calm and protect the skin.

The treatment takes around 30–45 minutes and is completely pain-free.

Question 5

Side Effects & Risks

Accepted Answer

Dermaplaning is very safe when performed by a trained professional like Nicky. However, mild and temporary side effects can include:

• Slight redness or sensitivity
 • Mild flaking in dry skin types
 • Temporary breakouts if pores are congested

If any concerns arise post-treatment, Nicky is on hand to offer guidance and support.

Question 6

Aftercare Instructions

Accepted Answer

To keep your skin glowing and avoid irritation:

• Avoid active skincare (e.g. retinoids, AHAs/BHAs) for 2–3 days
 • Use gentle cleanser and fragrance-free moisturiser
 • Apply SPF daily—your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight
 • Avoid makeup for 24 hours (if possible)
 • Avoid sweating, hot showers, or steam for 24 hours
 • Keep skin hydrated and avoid exfoliating for 3–5 days

Myth Buster: Dermaplaning does not make hair grow back thicker or darker—vellus hair will grow back just as soft as before.
