Your face is covered in layers of dead skin cells. They may not appear obvious to the naked eye, but they do contribute to some common skin complaints: dullness, spots and wrinkles. There are various ways to rid your face of dead skin cells, however, Dermaplaning is the ideal ‘quick fix’ treatment taking just 45 minutes with instant results and no downtime.
Dermaplaning is a method of deep exfoliation using a surgical grade scalpel that gently scrapes away the top layer of the skin, removing trapped dirt, peach fuzz hair and oil leaving the skin glowing, dewy and incredibly soft. It is also beneficial to have dermaplaning prior to other facial treatments or before using skincare products as it allows for greater penetration and helps to reduce the appearance of fines lines, even skin tone and assists in reducing milia, closed and open comedones, and minor breakouts associated with congested pores.
Dermaplaning is the deepest form of manual exfoliation, that leaves your skin instantly luminous with a glow that is impossible to achieve from at home exfoliation.

Get ready to glow
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We will start with a thorough skin analysis followed by a double cleanse and tone before proceeding with swift strokes using the scalpel across the very top layer of the upper dermis removing fine hair and dead skin. This may sound alarming, but most people are so relaxed that they fall asleep during the treatment. Once we have completed the removal, we will finish off your treatment using skincare that is best suited to your skin type.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Dermaplaning helps to reduce fine lines and acne scarring, remove vellous hair, trapped oil and dirt, increase cell turnover, improve hydration and skin skin health, reduce acne breakouts and allows other facial treatments and at-home products to penetrate deeper into the skin, meaning you get the most out of your products.
HOW OFTEN CAN I HAVE DERMAPLANING?
Dermaplaning can be carried out every 3 – 4 weeks. Treating the skin in this manner removes about 2 – 3 weeks’ worth of dead skin cells. You should always leave enough time between treatments to allow the skin to complete its normal skin cycle of approximately 30 days before repeating.
As everybody’s skin type and concerns are different, some patients may need to wait 4-6 weeks depending on their skin cycle. During your consultation or first appointment your practitioner will recommend a suitable treatment plan for you based on your individual concerns and goals.
WHAT CONCERNS DOES IT TREAT?
All skin types can benefit from Dermaplaning. Even men can be treated (over non-bearded areas only). It is particularly beneficial for clients suffering with:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne Scarring
- Fine vellus facial hair (peach fuzz)
- Pigmentation
- Uneven and rough skin
- Dull and Dry skin
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Patients may notice that their skin looks clearer and brighter immediately after their treatment, however it often takes a few days to appreciate the full results. As any redness subsides, patients will be able to see the results more clearly.
Some of the results you can expect include:
More Effective At-Home Skincare Regimen
When you apply creams and serums to your face, they need to penetrate the top layers to fully benefit your skin. With Dermaplaning, the top layer and dead skin cells are removed, meaning your skincare products can penetrate more deeply and and you’ll get the maximum benefit from them.
No More Peach Fuzz
Although scalpel facials are widely known for their rejuvenating effect on the skin, this treatment also tames the peach fuzz that so many patients are bothered by. Even though those fine hairs seem mostly invisible, this fine hair can trap sebum and dirt, leading to breakouts. You’ll be surprised at how good your skin looks once they’ve been removed.
Rejuvenated Skin
Because Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells and spurs the development of new cells, this treatment has a rejuvenating effect on the skin. The skin tone is evened out and hyperpigmentation — the darker spots that can appear on the skin — eases. Overall, the skin takes on a fresher and brighter appearance. Rough spots on the surface of the skin are smoothed over, and the patient’s complexion is brightened.
Fewer Fine Lines & Wrinkles
All of those new skin cells also help minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, warding off some of the early signs of ageing.
Reduce Acne Scars & Breakouts
Dermaplaning can help reduce the appearance of acne scarring and also minimise the chances of future breakouts by cleaning your pores and getting rid of the dirt and oils that can sometimes become trapped in facial hair.
CAN I HAVE DERMAPLANING WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?
Yes. Dermaplaning is generally at its most effective right before an LED Light Therapy treatment as it helps to enhance the absorption of light into the skins epidermis, speeding up the benefits. It can also be used along side other treatments.
Please get in touch or speak to your practitioner about personalising your treatment with optional add on treatments for a truly bespoke experience.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?
Dermaplaning can be offered as a one off treatment, or as a course of treatments – depending on the patients needs, and expected results from the treatment. However as peach fuzz grows back and dead skin reoccurs, Dermaplaning is recommend as on-going treatment which most patients come in for on a monthly basis.
At CYB Skin Clinic we offer packages and monthly membership subscriptions to help make this more affordable for patients. To find out more please get in touch or speak with your practitioner during your treatment.

What areas can be treated?
Dermaplaning is only to be performed on the face (excluding eyelids and lips). The treatment cannot be offered on any other part of the body.
Is it painful?
No, Dermaplaning is an exfoliative technique that uses the edge of a scalpel moved at 45 degrees (superficially) along the surface of the skin to smooth and exfoliate the skin and remove dead cells and fine vellus hairs. This is enhanced along with a facial massage and is surprisingly relaxing and pain free. It is a procedure that can be compared to the sensation of shaving your legs.
Is there any downtime?
One of the biggest benefits to having a dermaplaning treatment is that there’s no downtime or recovery process – in fact, after your procedure, you can go right back to your normal routine.
Are there any side effects?
Dermaplaning is considered a safe and effective treatment, however as with all things there can be some side effects.
Some patients may experience some slight facial redness about two hours after the procedure and whiteheads may develop one or two days after dermaplaning but this will subside.
Very occasionally, and usually due to poor technique or processes, infection and scarring may occur. You may also develop patchy pigment on your face, but this should disappear with time.
It’s very important to follow all precare and aftercare advice to ensure optimal results. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with one of our experts for tailored advice towards your needs and concerns.
Will my hair grow back darker?
No, this is physiologically impossible. The soft, fine vellus hair will grow back slowly – usually in about 4 weeks and no different than it was previously.
Precare Advice
Please let your practitioner know at the time of booking or at least 72 hours prior to your treatment if you are on any medication (topical and/ or oral), have any medical conditions, being treated by a physician for any conditions or if you have been diagnosed with cold sores or Herpes simplex.
- Do not use Retin-A or other exfoliating creams 72 hours prior to your treatment.
- Avoid sun tanning or tanning creams/sprays for at least 7 days prior to your treatment
- Patients who have had a recent chemical peel or other skin procedures, such as Botox or filler injections, should wait two weeks before undergoing Dermaplaning.
- Do not shave or waxing the treated area for at least 72 hours prior to your treatment
Patients who are currently using Acutane (also known as isotretinoin) which is a medication used to treat acne, must wait at least 6 months after completing the course of treatment, before considering Dermaplaning as the skin is highly sensitive and chances of scarring are high.
Patients who have active cold sores will need to wait until fully recovered before booking a Dermaplaning treatment. If you are prone to cold sores, please let us know so we can discuss your options.
Aftercare Advice
Dermaplaning is a safe and effective way to exfoliate the skin and remove unwanted hair. However, it’s important to take care of your skin after dermaplaning to avoid any irritation or dryness. Be sure to follow all aftercare advised by your practitioner to ensure optimum results and a happy and healthy complexion.
- Avoid wearing make up for at least 24 hours post treatment.
- Twice a day cleanse the treated area with a post treatment cleanser, followed by a serum or treatment cream and SPF 30+
- Follow a simple skincare routine for at least 7-14 days post treatment
- Avoid any aerobic exercise, vigorous physical activity or excessive heat such as saunas or steam rooms for 48 post treatment
- Avoid direct sun exposure, including sunbeds and self tanners for 72 hours but recommended 7 days. If you must be in the sun, make sure to wear sunscreen with a high SPF.
- SPF 30+ must be applied daily to the treated area for a minimum of two weeks, however we recommend continued daily use
- Avoid products containing any exfoliating agents (retinoic acid, retinol, tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, astringents, etc.) for at least 72 hours
- Avoid Dermal Fillers or Botox for 2 weeks on the treated area
- Avoid chlorine for at least 24 hours
- Avoid facial waxing for at least 7 days
- Avoid picking, scratching, or aggressively rubbing the treated area.
- Avoid physical exfoliators, polishers, or aggressive brushes should be used for 7 to 14 days.
The HIFU Anti-Ageing Face Lift treatment works by sending highly focused acoustic energy below the skin’s surface to cause cellular friction within the molecules, resulting in precise, target-point heating. The friction between these molecules produces heat and thermal injury at a focal point within the skin tissue to create thermal coagulation zones at 3 selected depths (1.5mm, 3.0mm and 4.5mm), leaving the skin’s surface unaffected.
Delivering this focused ultra-sonic energy to the dermal tissue, it causes immediate trauma to the treatment zone which then promotes heating, immediate contraction and collagen stimulation – Collagen is the protein in the skin that’s responsible for its elasticity and structure. The healing process works over approximately 180 days, stimulating long-term tissue repair leading to further lifting and tightening.
The SMAS layer (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) is the layer that sits between your muscle and your fat layer and is the actual area a plastic surgeon would pull and tighten under a surgical operation using a knife. It is composed of collagen and elastin fibres, similar to those of the dermal tissue, and when treated, gives a long-lasting tightening effect.
Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT HAPPENS DURING MY TREATMENT?
The Bio-Nutri Neck procedure takes around 45-60 minutes and begins with your practitioner applying a peel that helps to combat the signs of ageing, accelerate cell renewal and restore a glow to dull, uneven skin and improve your overall complexion. After your peel, your practitioner will inject a revitalising solution of hyaluronic acid and 59 active ingredients including vitamins, amino-acids, antioxidants, with a very precise and safe needle into into the upper dermis. This needle is designed to reduce the risk of bruising and minimise pain during the injection. It will not only target the sensitive area of your neck with delicacy, but also provide optimal results in less time. To complete your treatment, your practitioner will delicately apply tailored skin care products formulated with high-grade ingredients in optimal concentrations, designed to maintain and enhance the results of cosmetic procedures.
WHAT PRODUCTS ARE USED IN MY TREATMENT?
SKIN PERFUSION BRIGHT PEEL
Formulated with gluconolacctone, the bright peel helps to combat the signs of ageing, accelerate cell renewal and restore a glow to dull, uneven skin and improve your overall complexion. This quadruple AHA/ PBA peel combines Gluconalactone, Glycolic Acid, Phytic Acid and Citric Acid.
NCTF135HA SERUM
NCTF135ha serum is a unique combination of 59 Active ingredients and hyaluronic acid. This revolutionary serum cocktail recipe has remained the same since its inception in 1978. It has undergone many studies and trials and is incompatible to other meso type products on the market. The added benefit is that it can be combined with other FILLMED products to give patients highly effective and transformative results – The NCTF135HA Serum is truly ground breaking, there is nothing else like it in the industry.
Natural yet effective and ideal for all ages, NCTF is used for the prevention and correction of enlarged pores, skin laxity, fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes and pigmentation. NCTF treatments help the skin to retain essential moisture and leave the skin looking glowing, radiant and more youthful. It is used in a range of treatments to address skin concerns on the face, neck, hands and décolleté.
SKIN PERFUSION SKIN CARE
In the final part of your treatment we use products from FILLMED’s Skin Perfusion range. Formulated with high-grade ingredients in optimal concentrations, Skin Perfusion products are based on the ‘mix and match’ principle to achieve the best visible results on skin appearance and to best fit the needs of each skin through tailor-made solutions.
IS IT PAINFUL?
There is very minimal discomfort for the treatment. The Nanosoft needles used in your treatment are specifically designed to minimise pain and trauma. Injections are only made superficially.
