Dermaplaning

Refined glow. Silky smooth. Tailored to you.

From $149

At Upper Skin Clinic, we offer complimentary dermaplaning consultations for those seeking a brighter, smoother complexion. This gentle, non-invasive treatment exfoliates the skin and removes fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), helping to reveal a fresh, radiant surface underneath. Suitable for both men and women, dermaplaning is performed by Dermal Clinicians in a calm, clinical environment.

Every treatment is customised to your skin’s needs, whether you’re aiming to enhance product absorption, create a flawless makeup base, or simply enjoy a healthy, luminous glow.

What Does Dermaplaning Treat?

Dermaplaning may be suitable for individuals with:
• Dull or uneven skin tone
• Rough skin texture
• Fine facial hair that interferes with makeup application
• Mild congestion or buildup of dead skin cells
• Early signs of ageing such as fine lines

It can be used on most skin types, though it may not be suitable for clients with active acne or certain skin sensitivities. A thorough consultation is completed prior to treatment.

Is Dermaplaning Right For You?

Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. It’s an excellent option if you’re looking to smooth rough texture, remove facial hair, or achieve a healthy glow without downtime. However, it may not be ideal for those with active acne or certain skin conditions. A professional skin consultation at Upper Skin Clinic will help determine if it’s the right fit for you.

How Does Dermaplaning Works?

Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to carefully remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the skin’s surface. At Upper Skin Clinic, our clinically trained Dermal Clinicians perform this treatment with precision to reveal smoother, brighter skin and enhance the absorption of skincare products. It’s a safe, non-invasive option for achieving a fresh, radiant complexion with no downtime.

Benefits Of Dermaplaning:

When included as part of a regular skin maintenance plan, dermaplaning may support:
• Brighter and more even skin tone
• Smoother skin texture
• Improved makeup application
• Enhanced absorption of topical skincare products
• Gentle exfoliation without the use of chemicals

Results are immediate, with no downtime, making it a popular option before special occasions or as part of a professional skin care routine.

What Results Can I Expect?

Dermaplaning immediately removes dull surface cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz), revealing smoother, brighter skin. You’ll notice a more radiant complexion, enhanced product absorption, and flawless makeup application. Results are visible right away and continue to improve with regular treatments, especially when combined with other skin therapies.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

For best results, we recommend dermaplaning every 4–6 weeks as part of your regular skin maintenance. It can be a one-off treatment for special occasions or integrated into a broader treatment plan. During your consultation, we’ll personalise your schedule based on your skin goals and concerns.
