Remove make up, sebum and impurities thoroughly. A well cleansed face is the basis for a successful treatment.
Moisture can affect the glide of the blade. The skin must be dry, oil free and held taut.
For home use, choose special dermaplaning tools with a fine, protected blade, they are gentler and safer than professional scalpels.
Hold the blade at a shallow angle (about 45°) and glide it over the taut skin. Always work from top to bottom, never in all directions. Important, do not apply pressure.
Move forward bit by bit. This allows you to adapt well to each area and ensures you do not miss any part. The most sensible order is: forehead, cheeks, upper lip, chin. Wipe the blade regularly to remove skin flakes and fine hairs.
After dermaplaning, apply serums and moisturisers, ideally with soothing ingredients.
Dermaplaning impresses above all with its immediately visible results. After the treatment, the skin feels noticeably smoother, softer and gains a fresh, natural glow. Because dead skin cells and fine peach fuzz are removed, the complexion looks significantly more even overall. At the same time, serums and other skincare products can penetrate more effectively, as they are no longer blocked by flakes or hair.
Make up also adheres more evenly and looks smoother, which is a major benefit for anyone who values a flawless complexion.
Despite the quick results, it is a gentle yet very effective type of exfoliation that can support skin renewal without over irritating the skin. The method combines gentle facial hair removal with an intensive smoothing peel, making it ideal for a modern skincare routine.
