Dermaplaning Facial

Dermaplaning Facial Treatment in Glasgow

Dermaplaning is a simple and safe procedure for exfoliating the epidermis and ridding the skin of fine vellus hair (peach fuzz).

When patients hear the word "dermaplaning", they quickly associate the term with the procedure known as dermabrasion, and won’t even consider it as a treatment. Dermaplaning, on the other hand, is a simple shaving of the epidermis to allow products to be absorbed easily into the skin.

Using a scalpel, the practitioner simply glides over the surface of the skin using light feathering strokes. Although merely an old wives’ tale, many patients are often concerned that the hair will grow back heavier and darker after the treatment. This is not the case. As long as the hair is superficial vellus hair, it will grow back at the same rate and texture as before the treatment. It is also a first choice for patients who have excess vellus hair on the skin. This hair often causes a build-up of dirt and oils in the follicles, so removing the hair gives the patient healthier looking skin instantly.

This is also great treatment to offer to patients who are pregnant or nursing who want a deep exfoliation, but are not allowed to use peeling agents.

Suitable as a one-off treatment or as a block booking depending on your skin’s needs.
