What is Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that gently removes built-up dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the surface of the skin.

Using a sterile, single-use blade, the skin is refined to improve smoothness, clarity, and product absorption - supporting healthy cell turnover without aggressive exfoliation.

Dermaplaning Explained

  • Dermaplaning uses controlled, precise strokes across the skin’s surface to exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin cells and remove fine vellus hair.

    The treatment is non-invasive and typically well tolerated. Some clients may notice mild warmth or temporary sensitivity, which usually settles quickly.

    At Studio Martie, dermaplaning is performed following a skin assessment to ensure it is appropriate for your skin on the day. It may be offered as a standalone treatment or used strategically to prepare the skin for more advanced services.

  • Clients may experience:

    • Smoother skin texture

    • Increased brightness and clarity

    • Improved absorption of skincare products

    • More even makeup application

    • Reduced surface congestion.

  • Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair as part of surface exfoliation. The treatment does not alter hair growth patterns, thickness, or colour.

    Its primary purpose is to refine the skin’s surface, support healthy cell turnover, and improve the effectiveness of professional skincare by allowing products to absorb more evenly.

  • Following dermaplaning:

    • Skin may feel temporarily more sensitive

    • Daily sun protection is essential

    • Exfoliating products should be avoided for several days

    • Skin should be kept well hydrated and supported with barrier-appropriate products
