Dermaplaning is a professional treatment that uses a sterile, single-use blade at a precise angle to lift away the top layer of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair (often called “peach fuzz”).
At Doyle Skin we elevate this with:
a soothing Vitamin C mask to boost brightness and antioxidant protection, and
targeted LED Light Therapy to calm, rebalance and support the skin’s natural repair processes.
The result is skin that looks smoother, clearer and more even, with a beautiful, healthy glow.
These treatments are particularly popular with clients who want their skin to look better without obvious volume changes or a “done” appearance.
We start with a chat about your skin, current routine and main concerns. Your skin is assessed so we can confirm that dermaplaning is suitable and plan any adaptations just for you.
The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove make-up, SPF and surface oils. Once the skin is dry and prepped, the treatment begins.
A Vitamin C rich mask is applied to help brighten, hydrate and support the skin with antioxidant protection. This feels cooling and comforting after exfoliation.
LED light is then used over the skin to calm, balance and support healing, enhancing the benefits of the treatment and helping to reduce any post-treatment redness.
We finish with tailored skincare and SPF. You’ll leave with simple aftercare advice and, if you wish, suggestions for homecare to maintain your new glow.
Immediately after:
Skin feels exceptionally smooth and soft, with a fresh, polished look. Make-up tends to glide on and sit beautifully for days afterwards.
Downtime:
There is usually no downtime. You might experience slight pinkness or sensitivity immediately afterwards, which typically settles quickly.
Longer term:
Regular treatments can help keep texture refined, improve the look of fine, dry lines and maintain a consistently healthy glow.
Daily SPF is essential after any exfoliating treatment and forms part of your aftercare.
No. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair at the surface; it does not change the hair follicle. Hair grows back at the same rate and texture as before.
Most people find it comfortable. You may hear the sound of the blade and feel light scraping, but it should not be painful. If anything feels uncomfortable, we stop and adjust.
Mild, non-inflamed congestion can sometimes be treated carefully, but active, inflamed acne areas are avoided. In some cases we may recommend a different treatment until the skin is calmer.
Yes, many clients book dermaplaning specifically because make-up looks so good on freshly treated skin. We usually suggest waiting a few hours and using clean brushes and gentle products.
Dermaplaning is often considered a good option during pregnancy as there are no chemicals involved, but every case is assessed individually. Please mention pregnancy at booking so we can advise you properly.
