Dermaplaning
Reveal Your Smoothest, Brightest Skin
Unlock a flawless glow with the ultimate exfoliation treatment. At Empress Skin, our Dermaplaning facial is a non-invasive, results-driven treatment designed to instantly refresh your complexion. By gently removing dull skin and peach fuzz, we reveal the fresh, radiant skin hiding underneath.
What is Dermaplaning? The Secret to a Flawless Glow
Dermaplaning is a professional manual exfoliation treatment that goes deeper than a standard scrub. Using a sterile, surgical-grade blade, our expert therapists gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells along with "peach fuzz" (vellus hair) and surface congestion. This process triggers the skin’s natural regeneration process and leaves the surface incredibly smooth. It is a favourite among celebrities and makeup artists because it creates a perfectly even canvas, allowing skincare products to absorb effectively and makeup to sit flawlessly on the skin.

The Treatment: A Step-by-Step Guide to Radiance
1
Deep Cleanse & Preparation
We start with a thorough double cleanse to remove makeup, oil, and impurities, followed by a professional skin prep solution. This creates a completely sterile, dry canvas, ensuring the most effective and safe exfoliation possible.
2
Precision Exfoliation & Resurfacing
Using a sterile surgical-grade blade, your therapist performs the dermaplaning technique to gently lift away dead skin cells and "peach fuzz." Depending on your skin's needs, we may also apply a gentle enzyme peel at this stage to further brighten the complexion.
3
Soothe, Hydrate & Protect
We conclude the treatment with a calming mask to cool the skin and lock in moisture. Finally, we apply high-quality serums and a broad-spectrum SPF to protect your fresh, glowing skin as you leave the clinic.
Is Dermaplaning Right for You? Benefits & Suitability
This treatment is suitable for almost all skin types and is safe for pregnant or nursing women who want a deep exfoliation without harsh chemicals. It is particularly effective if you are looking to instantly brighten dull, tired, or dry skin, or if you want to smooth out uneven texture by removing weeks of dead skin buildup. Because it creates such a smooth surface, it is the ideal preparation before weddings, events, or photo shoots, ensuring your makeup applies flawlessly. It also serves as an excellent pre-treatment step before Laser Hair Removal (face), HydraFacials, or LED Light Therapy, as removing the surface hair and debris allows these therapies to work more effectively.

Maximising Your Results: Preparation and Aftercare
To get the best "glass skin" results from your session at Empress Skin, please follow these guidelines:
Before your treatment:
-
Stop active skincare: Avoid using Retinol, AHAs (Glycolic/Lactic Acid), or BHAs (Salicylic Acid) for 3–5 days prior to your appointment to prevent sensitivity.
-
Avoid sun exposure: We cannot treat sunburned skin, so please ensure you have not had excessive sun exposure or sunbed use recently.
Aftercare for best results:
-
No makeup for 24 hours: Your pores will be open and clean; let your skin breathe to prevent breakouts.
-
SPF is non-negotiable: Your fresh skin is very sensitive to UV rays. Wear SPF 30+ daily to prevent pigmentation and damage.
-
Hydrate heavily: Your skin will be thirsty after exfoliation. Use a quality hyaluronic acid serum or moisturiser to keep it plump and glowing.
-
Avoid heat: Skip the sauna, steam room, or heavy gym sessions for 24 hours to avoid irritation from sweat.
