Dermaplaning Treatments
More about our Dermaplaning Treatments
Dermaplaning is a minimally invasive skin treatment that gently removes the outermost layer of dead skin to reveal fresher skin underneath. Dermaplaning skin treatments also temporarily remove the soft vellus hair (peach fuzz) on your face.
If you live in Coulsdon, Caterham, South Croydon, Whyteleafe, Warlingham or anywhere across the wider CR3 area, you can book your dermaplaning facial at our Caterham clinic.
Key highlights:
- Smoother, softer skin you can feel straight after your session
- A brighter, more even complexion
- Peach fuzz gone, so make-up sits flawlessly
- That post-facial glow that holds for weeks
- Zero downtime, suitable for most skin types
Dermaplaning is effective at reducing the visibility of scars and acne. It also helps to improve uneven skin complexions and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Dermaplaning can be applied to any part of the body, particularly where there is scarring, however, it is most commonly applied to the facial area.
After one dermaplaning facial, you’ll walk out with:
- Smoother, softer skin you can feel the moment you touch your cheek
- A brighter, more even complexion
- Peach fuzz gone, so make-up glides onto your skin more easily
Dermaplaning removes dead skin cells so your skin can absorb products like serums and moisturisers much more easily.
The treatment suits most skin types, including sensitive and combination. It’s gentle because it only touches the skin’s surface.
How it Works?
After a consultation with Sadie, your treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed. Then a scalpel-like device will be used to carefully shave the external layer of skin to expose the younger, undamaged, skin layer.
Why Choose Dermaplaning at Our Caterham Clinic
Finding time for yourself is difficult. Self-care often slides to the bottom of the list, especially when you’re juggling work and other responsibilities.
At Opulent Aesthetics, we’ve built a calm, stress-free treatment centre where you can step out of the day and into someplace that puts you first.
Every dermaplaning facial here is personalised. We check your skin, talk you through every step, and suggest a suitable treatment, so you leave with the glow you came in for
Immediately. The fresh layer of skin will be visible and you will have a noticeable improvement in your skin quality. Your face may appear a little red immediately after, however, this will fade in a matter of hours and disappear completely within a day or two.
How long do the results last?
Your skin naturally hardens and becomes worn over time, so it is not a permanent fix. How long the results last will vary depending on lifestyle factors like sun and pollutant exposure, any physical contact, and the types of products you apply to it. However, you can expect your skin quality to stay fresh for 1-3 months, maybe more.
Dermaplaning treatment is carried out using a special bladed article that is designed with safety in mind. Similar to shaving, dermaplaning scrapes away the old, dry, and damaged skin.
This depends on the size of the area being treated, however, it is a treatment that requires care and precision. Opulent Aesthetics typically allows 30 minutes for small areas to 1-2 hours for wider surface areas of your skin.
Yes, dermaplaning is considered safe and minimally invasive If carried out by a trained professional. .
While dermaplaning is not considered a harsh or invasive treatment, we understand that everyone has a different threshold for physical and psychological discomfort. Dermaplaning is much like a dry shave and feels like mild scraping of the skin.
Dermaplaning prices at Opulent Aesthetics start from £50 per session. That includes your consultation, the full dermaplaning facial, a calming finishing serum and SPF.
Ask us about course value if you’d like to make dermaplaning part of your regular skincare ritual.
How long do I need to recover?
Dermaplaning is considered a zero-downtime procedure because you can continue as normal straight after your treatment. You may experience a little redness, dry and flaky skin from scabbing, and rarely mild bleeding, but this is normal and will fade in a matter of hours or days.
During the early hours or days following treatment, we advise avoiding exposure to anything that may compromise your skin, including the gym, swimming, or crowded places.
What to Expect from Your Caterham Dermaplaning Facial
The appointment starts with a short consultation.
We check your skin, talk through your goals and answer any questions, so you feel relaxed before the dermaplaning facial begins.
Once you’re settled, we cleanse your skin thoroughly, then use a sterile, scalpel-like blade at a careful angle to lift away dead skin cells and the fine vellus hair on your face. Most clients describe the sensation as calming.
We typically treat the face and neck, including those tricky spots around the jawline and upper lip where dead skin and fuzz tend to gather.
To finish, we’ll apply a calming serum and SPF, leaving your skin soothed and protected.
The full dermaplaning treatment takes 30 to 45 minutes from start to finish.
Dermaplaning is a zero-downtime treatment, so you can carry on with your day straight after. Most clients rebook every 4 to 6 weeks to keep that smooth finish going.
(Post care: We recommend you skip heavy make-up, sun exposure, retinols and acids for 24 to 48 hours, then return to your usual routine.)
Combining Dermaplaning with Other Skin Treatments
Dermaplaning well on its own and pairs even better with other treatments at Opulent. Once we’ve cleared the dead skin and fuzz, your skin absorbs everything that follows more efficiently:
- Pair it with a skin peel for a deeper resurfacing reset
- Try microneedling for smoother skin and improved tone over a course
- Add deeper hydration with skin boosters for a plumper, dewy finish
If you’re not sure which combination suits your skin, we will guide you during your consultation, or you can browse our facials for the full menu.
If you have broken or active skin conditions, or an infection, you should avoid this treatment until your symptoms or condition subsides.

Dermaplaning FAQs
Dermaplaning suits most people who want smoother skin texture and a brighter complexion. It works well on uneven skin tone, dullness, dry patches, and peach fuzz.
We perform every session professionally and adjust the pressure and angle to your skin, so the treatment stays gentle and comfortable.
Dermaplaning works especially well around the jawline, cheeks, forehead, and upper lip, the spots where vellus hair and dead skin tend to build up most.
Dermaplaning is not painful. Most clients say it feels like a soft scratching or stroking sensation, more relaxing than uncomfortable. The blade only works on the surface, so there’s no piercing or breaking of the skin.
We use a sterile, single-use blade and trained technique to keep every session safe.
There are very few downsides for healthy skin.
You may notice slight redness for an hour or two, which quickly goes away.
The skin can also feel dry or flaky, or may feel a little more sensitive to sun and active ingredients for up to two days, so SPF and gentle products are a must.
If you have active acne, broken skin, or an active skin condition, we might ask you to postpone treatment until your skin settles.
No. Dermaplaning only removes fine, soft vellus hair at the surface of the skin. It does not change the hair root, so hair grows back exactly as before: never stubbly, thicker or darker. The effect is temporary, and the hair regrows naturally over the following weeks.
For most clients, peach fuzz starts to return around 3 to 4 weeks after the treatment, with a soft and fine regrowth.
Many clients rebook every 4 to 6 weeks to keep things smooth.
You see results straight away. Your skin feels softer and looks brighter, though it may look a little pink for a few hours; that will fade within a day.
The smoother texture and brighter tone last around 3 to 4 weeks, and the deeper exfoliation effect can continue to show for up to 1 to 3 months. A session every 4 to 6 weeks keeps results going.
Keep prep simple. Avoid retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and other strong actives for 3 to 5 days before your appointment.
Skip waxing or threading on the face for at least a week, and avoid sunbeds and heavy sun exposure for 48 hours beforehand.
Arrive with clean skin if you can.
None. Dermaplaning is a zero-downtime treatment, so you can head back to work, school run, or weekend plans straight after. We recommend you skip the gym, swimming pools, sun exposure, and heavy make-up for 24 to 48 hours, then return to your usual routine.
