What is Dermaplaning at Eden Skin & Laser Clinic?
Dermaplaning is a precise, medical-grade physical exfoliation treatment designed to refresh and revitalise the complexion. At Eden Skin & Laser Clinic, this procedure involves the gentle use of a sterile surgical blade to systematically remove accumulated dead skin cells and fine vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz, from the surface of the face. By clearing away this superficial barrier, the treatment reveals a smoother, more luminous layer beneath while creating an immaculate canvas for enhanced skincare absorption and flawless makeup application.
What Dermaplaning Can Address
Dull, uneven skin texture and rough surface patches
The accumulation of fine vellus hair that can trap oil and dirt
Sluggish cellular turnover and devitalised complexion tone
Impaired product penetration from home-care regimens
Uneven makeup application caused by surface irregularities
How Dermaplaning Works
The procedure works through controlled mechanical exfoliation. A trained specialist at Eden Skin & Laser Clinic holds the skin taut and uses light, feathery strokes with a sterile surgical scalpel at a precise angle across the treatment area. This process safely abrades the outermost stratum corneum of the epidermis without disrupting deeper living tissue. Beyond removing dull surface debris and vellus hair, the action stimulates cellular turnover and micro-circulation, encouraging natural skin rejuvenation and optimising the skin’s ability to receive active ingredients from medical-grade topical formulations.
-
No, the treatment is entirely comfortable and non-invasive. Patients typically experience a light, soothing scratching sensation similar to the stroke of a soft makeup brush across the skin.
-
No, vellus hair is physiologically different from terminal hair. Dermaplaning does not alter the structure, pigment, or growth rate of hair follicles, meaning hair will grow back at the exact same texture and colour as before.
-
Results are visible immediately. Your complexion will appear instantly brighter, smoother, and deeply refreshed as soon as the session concludes.
-
There is no downtime. You can resume your daily schedule immediately, though skin may be temporarily more receptive to sunlight, making daily broad-spectrum SPF essential.
-
Apply a high-factor, broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect the freshly exfoliated skin barrier.
Avoid direct sun exposure, saunas, and intense workouts for 24 hours post-treatment.
Refrain from using abrasive scrubs, glycolic acids, or retinoids for at least three to five days.
Keep the skin thoroughly hydrated using gentle, nourishing moisturisers recommended by your practitioner.
Avoid applying heavy makeup immediately after the session to let the skin breathe.
Practitioner & Safety Note
All treatments at Eden Skin & Laser Clinic are subject to a thorough face-to-face consultation. This allows our clinical team to assess your medical history, perform a patch test, and discuss the potential risks and realistic expectations of the procedure.
