Dermaplaning Treatments
More about our Dermaplaning Treatments
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face, leaving your skin smooth, radiant and glowing, with no needles and no downtime. It works well on its own or between other facials.
Dermaplaning Godstone clients can visit Opulent Aesthetics by Sadie at Caterham, about two miles from Godstone Green. Our dermaplaning treatment takes about half an hour and starts at £50, with a free consultation before treatment starts.
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.
What Dermaplaning Does to Your Skin
Dermaplaning is basically physical exfoliation. A sterile blade carefully shaves the outer layer of skin, exposing the younger, undamaged layer beneath.
The blade shaves the outermost, oldest layer of skin and the peach fuzz along with it, revealing fresh skin immediately. With the dead-cell layer gone, serums and moisturisers reach the living skin immediately.
What Happens at Your Dermaplaning Appointment
The procedure for the full face typically takes 30 minutes.
We start by cleansing your skin thoroughly and examining it under a lamp. We ask about recent treatments and the skin care you use. Then we work on the face section by section. It feels like a dry shave, with no numbing or downtime after.
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.
Does Peach Fuzz Grow Back Thicker?
Peach fuzz does not grow back thicker, darker, or coarser after dermaplaning. Thickness, colour and growth rate are all set at the follicle. The blade only touches the surface, so the hair grows back exactly as it was.
However, the regrowth can feel slightly blunt to the touch for a few days because the hair has been cut straight across. It is the same effect people notice after shaving.
What It Costs
Dermaplaning starts at £50 for the full face. The fee covers cleansing, treatment and a light finishing product.
Is Dermaplaning Right for You?
Dermaplaning suits most skin types and sits alongside our other advanced facial treatments. It is gentler than most chemical peels and involves no injections, so it works well as a starting point if facial treatments are new to you.
Expect the following results after your first treatment:
- Smoother texture across the cheeks and jaw
- A brighter, more even-looking tone
- Better product absorption for the next week
- Smoother makeup application
- No downtime
- An immediate visible result
What to mention before booking
- Active acne in the treatment area
- A chemical peel in the last two weeks
- Regular retinoid or acid use at home
- Recent sun exposure or sunburn
- A cold sore in the area
- A tendency to develop keloid scarring
- Any medication that thins the skin
If you have broken or active skin conditions, or an infection, you should avoid this treatment until your symptoms or condition subsides.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does peach fuzz grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
No. The hair is cut at the surface, so thickness, colour and growth rate stay the same. It may feel blunter for a few days, but returns to normal.
What is dermaplaning regret?
Dermaplaning regret usually stems from three things: expecting peach fuzz to never grow back, performing the procedure over active acne or inflamed skin, and attempting to DIY the treatment at home using the wrong type of razor.
Why shouldn’t you dermaplane your face?
Dermaplaning isn’t suitable for everyone. Skip it if you have active acne or a cold sore in the area, a chemical peel in the last two weeks, sunburn, or very thin and reactive skin.
How much should I pay for dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning starts at £50 for the full face. Anything lower may indicate a home kit or a simple salon add-on, not a dedicated professional appointment.
How long does dermaplaning last?
Results last three to four weeks, which is in line with the natural skin cell turnover cycle. Dermaplaning works well as a monthly treatment.
How often should I get dermaplaning?
Once a month is a sweet spot. More frequent treatments won’t give you better results, as the skin needs a full cycle to turn over between appointments. Less frequent, and the smoother texture and glow fade before the next visit.
How do I prepare for dermaplaning?
Arrive without makeup if you can. Mention any recent peels or retinoid use, and flag active breakouts.
