Dermaplaning
Looking for a way to reveal brighter, smoother skin? Dermaplaning is a safe and effective exfoliating treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair (vellus hairs). At Tempus Belgravia, our skilled aestheticians in London can help you achieve a more radiant, youthful complexion with this popular treatment.
What is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin cells and remove fine facial hair. This process reveals smoother, brighter skin and allows for better penetration of skincare products.
Benefits of Dermaplaning
- Brighter Complexion: By removing dead skin cells, dermaplaning instantly reveals a more radiant, youthful glow.
- Smoother Skin: The removal of vellus hairs (peach fuzz) creates an exceptionally smooth skin surface.
- Improved Product Absorption: With the removal of the top layer of dead skin, skincare products can penetrate deeper, enhancing their effectiveness.
- Reduced Appearance of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Dermaplaning can help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a more youthful appearance.
- Safe for Most Skin Types: Suitable for many skin types, including sensitive skin.
Am I Suitable for Dermaplaning?

FAQs about Dermaplaning
- Does dermaplaning hurt? Dermaplaning is a painless treatment. You may feel a gentle scraping sensation, but it should not be uncomfortable.
- How long does a dermaplaning treatment take? A typical treatment session takes approximately 30-45 minutes.
- How often should I get dermaplaning? We recommend treatments every 4-6 weeks to maintain optimal results, as this aligns with the natural skin cell turnover cycle.
- What is the downtime after dermaplaning? There is no downtime associated with dermaplaning. You can resume your regular activities immediately.
- Will my facial hair grow back thicker or darker? No, dermaplaning does not alter the structure of the hair follicle, so hair will not grow back thicker or darker.
- How should I care for my skin after dermaplaning? It is crucial to protect your skin from the sun by wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and to keep your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturiser.
- What is the difference between dermaplaning and microdermabrasion? Both treatments exfoliate the skin, but dermaplaning uses a scalpel to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair, while microdermabrasion uses a device with a diamond tip or fine crystals to achieve exfoliation.
- Can I wear makeup after dermaplaning? It is best to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after treatment to allow your skin to breathe and recover.
- How much does dermaplaning cost? Costs vary depending on the individual and whether you are combining the treatment with other procedures. We provide a personalised quote during your consultation.
- Can I combine dermaplaning with other treatments? Yes, dermaplaning can be combined with other facial treatments, such as chemical peels, microneedling, or facials, to enhance results.
