Dermaplaning gently exfoliates the skin and removes fine facial hair to reveal a softer, brighter, and more even complexion — all with zero downtime.
Dermaplaning is a professional skin treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (also known as peach fuzz) from the surface of your face. This manual exfoliation technique leaves your skin exceptionally smooth, refreshed, and instantly radiant.
At Slimm & Well, our trained therapists perform dermaplaning as a standalone treatment or as a prep step before facials, peels, or masks. By removing the outermost layer of dead skin, your complexion becomes more receptive to active skincare ingredients and makeup applies seamlessly.
Dermaplaning is non-invasive, painless, and suitable for most skin types. It’s especially loved for its ability to deliver immediate results — making it a favourite for events, photoshoots, or whenever your skin needs a quick glow-up.
After cleansing and drying your skin, our therapist uses a surgical-grade scalpel to manually exfoliate the surface of your face at a precise angle. The process gently lifts away dead skin cells and fine hair in small, upward strokes. The entire treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Dermaplaning is a low-risk procedure when performed by professionals. The benefits include smoother texture, improved tone, enhanced skincare absorption, and a brighter, more polished look. Some clients may experience mild redness, which fades within hours.
There is no downtime. You can return to your normal routine right away. Results are immediate and your skin will feel noticeably softer. We recommend regular treatments every 4–6 weeks to maintain smoothness and skin clarity.
While rare, contact us if you experience any prolonged redness, irritation, or small nicks that do not heal within a few days. We’ll provide you with aftercare support to ensure your skin heals correctly.
Dermaplaning is ideal before events, when preparing for deeper treatments, or as part of a monthly skincare routine to maintain a clear, fresh complexion.
Yes. Dermaplaning is gentle and does not involve any harsh chemicals, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. We avoid treating active acne, inflamed breakouts, or open lesions.
No. This is a common myth. Dermaplaning only removes the soft vellus hair, which will grow back at the same rate, thickness, and colour. It does not affect hair structure or stimulate thicker growth.
You’ll notice immediate improvement after a single session. Your skin will appear smoother, brighter, and makeup will glide on effortlessly. Continued treatments improve skin tone and clarity over time.
There’s no downtime. However, we advise avoiding exfoliants, harsh products, and direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours post-treatment. Always apply sunscreen after dermaplaning to protect your freshly exfoliated skin.
