Dull skin, uneven texture, peach fuzz, and a smoother, brighter complexion
Dermaplaning is a gentle, glow-enhancing facial treatment designed to smooth the skin’s surface by removing the build-up of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (often known as “peach fuzz”). The result is skin that looks brighter, feels softer, and has a more even and refined texture.
As natural skin renewal slows with age, your skin can start to feel rough or look dull. Dermaplaning works on the very top layer of the skin, carefully exfoliating without chemicals or active acids, making it a popular option for people who prefer a more straightforward resurfacing treatment.
Many people love dermaplaning for the way it helps makeup apply more smoothly and skincare products absorb more evenly. It can also be used as a preparatory treatment before other facials or skin treatments, helping to enhance their overall effect.
Dermaplaning doesn’t change hair growth and will not cause facial hair to grow back darker or thicker. The fine hair removed during treatment grows back gradually and naturally, just as it did before.
At Medikaur, we offer dermaplaning as a considered skin-refining option, either as a standalone glow-boosting facial or as part of your broader skin maintenance.

Fantastic service and amazing results. If you live or work in the Canary Wharf area, go and speak to Jane she is very knowledgeable and discreet.
My husband and I both visit Medikaur for all of our aesthetic and skin care needs. Jane always listens to our concerns, and gives great advice, never giving us a really ‘done look’ - just a light helping hand to look and feel our best. Our friends can’t work out why we look so well-rested and youthful, despite having stressful jobs and a hectic family life!”
Incredible service and results! Found my new regular place. Competence and experience show.
While dermaplaning and facial shaving may look similar, professional dermaplaning is very different. It is carried out by a trained practitioner using a sterile surgical blade and precise technique to exfoliate the skin safely and evenly. At-home tools don’t offer the same level of control or assessment and can increase the risk of irritation, uneven results, or cuts.
No. This is a common myth. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair, which grows back gradually and naturally, just as it did before. It does not affect hair colour, thickness, or growth pattern.
Dermaplaning is often well tolerated and can be a good option if you prefer to avoid chemical exfoliants. However, it may not be suitable if you have active acne, inflamed skin conditions, or certain sensitivities. Suitability is always checked before treatment.
Dermaplaning is not painful. You may feel a light scraping or brushing sensation as the blade moves across the skin, but most people find the treatment very comfortable.
Dermaplaning appointments usually take around 30 minutes, including time for consultation and aftercare advice.
Many people choose to have dermaplaning every 4 to 6 weeks, which aligns with the skin’s natural renewal cycle. Jane can advise on timing based on your skin and goals.
Dermaplaning can be enjoyed on its own as a skin-smoothing facial or combined with additional treatments for more intensive skin refinement.
The most suitable option will be discussed during your appointment, based on your skin and what you’d like to achieve.

Dermaplaning may look simple, but achieving smooth, even results without irritation relies on experience, precision, and a good understanding of skin.
Jane Paterson is an Advanced Aesthetic Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience in skin health and facial treatments. Her clinical background means every dermaplaning treatment is guided by careful assessment, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Jane understands how different skin types respond to resurfacing and knows when dermaplaning will enhance the skin and when it may not be the right option. This is especially important given the rise of at-home dermaplaning tools, which can lead to uneven exfoliation, irritation, or skin becoming more sensitive when used without professional guidance.
With Jane, dermaplaning is carried out using sterile, medical-grade tools and a controlled technique designed to exfoliate the skin and remove peach fuzz safely and evenly. Attention is paid to pressure, angle, and skin response throughout the treatment, helping to minimise potential reactions while achieving a smooth, refined finish.
Above all, Jane’s focus is on skin that looks healthy, balanced, and natural. Dermaplaning is offered thoughtfully, either as a standalone glow-enhancing facial or as part of a wider skin plan tailored to you.
