Dermaplaning in Durban
Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) for instantly smoother, brighter skin. At our aesthetic clinic in Durban, it's one of our most-loved treatments for a radiant, makeup-ready glow.
What it is
Using a sterile surgical blade held at a precise angle, your therapist gently resurfaces the top layer of skin. There's no downtime — you'll walk out glowing. It's suitable for most skin types and pairs beautifully with a facial.
Benefits
- Instantly smoother, brighter skin
- Removes peach fuzz for flawless makeup
- Helps skincare products absorb better
- No downtime
- Softens the look of fine lines
What to expect
Your appointment takes around 30–45 minutes. After a cleanse, your therapist dermaplanes the face, then applies a soothing, hydrating finish. You may be slightly pink for an hour or two.
Aftercare
Keep skin hydrated, avoid direct sun for 48 hours and always apply a broad-spectrum SPF. Skip harsh exfoliants for a few days.
Frequently asked questions
Does dermaplaning hurt?
No — it's painless and relaxing, a little like a soft scraping sensation.
Will my hair grow back thicker?
No. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair, which grows back exactly as before — it does not change hair thickness or colour.
How often should I have it done?
Every 3–4 weeks works well for most clients to maintain smooth, glowing skin.
