Dermaplaning salons and stylists across the UK
What to expect from a dermaplaning appointment
Dermaplaning lifts dead skin and fine vellus hair using a sterile surgical blade held at a low angle. It leaves the skin smoother and helps serums and moisturisers absorb more evenly. The technician preps the skin with a cleanse, works in small sections from the chin upwards, then finishes with a soothing mask and SPF. The whole appointment takes thirty to forty-five minutes. Aftercare avoids active acids and retinoids for two to three days. Most regulars rebook every four to six weeks.

Frequently asked questions
Will dermaplaning make my facial hair grow back darker?
No. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair (fine peach-fuzz) which grows back at the same texture and colour it was. The myth comes from confusion with terminal-hair shaving; vellus hair does not become coarser when removed.
How long does dermaplaning take?
A standalone dermaplaning appointment runs thirty to forty-five minutes including cleanse, exfoliation, a soothing mask and SPF. Booked as an add-on to a facial, it adds about fifteen to twenty minutes.
How often should I have dermaplaning?
Every four to six weeks. The vellus hair grows on a slower cycle than terminal hair, so a tighter schedule is unnecessary. Skip active retinoids and acids for two to three days either side of the appointment.
How much does dermaplaning cost?
Standalone dermaplaning typically runs forty to seventy-five pounds in UK clinics; combined with a facial, the bundle runs eighty to one hundred forty. Premium central-London clinics sit higher.
Is dermaplaning safe for sensitive or acne-prone skin?
Sensitive skin is generally fine if the therapist works lightly. Active acne and inflamed breakouts are a no-go because the blade can spread bacteria and worsen the flare. Wait until the active phase settles, then book.
