Takes off dead skin and fine facial hair in one go. Skin feels noticeably smoother straight away and makeup sits flat instead of clinging.
Dermaplaning uses a sterile blade held at an angle to shave away the outermost layer of dead skin along with the fine vellus hair that traps product and dulls the complexion.
The result is immediate. Skin feels smoother straight away, makeup sits better, and anything you apply afterwards penetrates more effectively.
It is a good choice before an event, and it pairs well with other treatments, which Gemma will sequence sensibly for you.
Courses are priced below three single sessions, with the saving shown.
What you actually need, and what it costs, is agreed at your appointment.
Before and immediately after.

A sterile blade is drawn across the skin at a precise angle, lifting away dead cells and fine hair.

No. Vellus hair grows back exactly as it was. It feels different for a day or two because it has been cut bluntly, not because it has changed.
No. Most clients find it relaxing and describe it as a light scraping sensation.
None. Skin may be slightly pink for an hour, and you should avoid direct sun and wear SPF afterwards.
Roughly every four weeks, which follows the skin's natural renewal cycle.
It is avoided over active acne, cold sores or inflamed skin. Gemma will assess your skin first.

Price at consultationShop-bought skincare is weaker for a reason. The professional stuff works, but the wrong active on the wrong skin does more harm than none at all, so she picks it after seeing your skin and orders it in for you.
