What Is Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that carefully removes the top layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (‘peach fuzz’) from the epidermis. Dermaplaning may be used in areas such as the upper lip, eyebrow, forehead, cheeks, and chin, using a surgical blade. This procedure results in smoother, brighter skin and enhances the absorption of skincare products and can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.

Dermaplaning Can Also:

  • Remove dead skin cells from the face and neck.
  • Treat the face and neck with light exfoliation.
  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles due to ageing, stress, smoking, and other physical or environ- mental factors.
  • Diminish acne scars and visible pores, blotching, or other skin impurities.
  • Support professional-looking brow shaping.

Why Choose Surgical Blades For Dermaplaning

Surgical blades are an essential tool for dermaplaning due to their precision and reliability. They provide a sharper, more consistent edge, ensuring an even exfoliation and effective hair removal. Salonserve supplies surgical blades and handles from Swann-Morton, a high-quality and trusted manufacturer that adheres to strict quality control standards, making them a safe and effective choice for professionals.

How Often Should Blades Be Replaced

Blades should be replaced after each use to maintain hygiene, prevent infections, and ensure optimal performance. Using a fresh, sharp blade for every session enhances precision and reduces the risk of irritation or injury. For professionals, adhering to single-use protocols is essential for client safety and regulatory compliance.

What Is The Safest Way To Dispose Of Used Blades

Used blades should be disposed of in a designated Sharps Container or Clicksmart BladeFLASK. This prevents accidental injuries, ensuring proper medical waste disposal. Never discard blades in regular rubbish or recycling bins. Check local regulations for medical waste disposal guidelines to ensure compliance with health and safety standards.

Can Dermaplaning Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Dermaplaning can be combined with other treatments such as chemical peels, hydrating facials, and LED therapy. Salonserve’s LED Light Therapy Steamer utilises advanced LED technology and steam to deeply hydrate the skin, promote collagen production, and enhance the effects of dermaplaning, leaving the skin glowing and rejuvenated.

It allows better absorption of skincare products and prepares the skin for deeper treatments. It is essential to assess skin sensitivity to ensure there is no excessive irritation before layering treatments.

Post-Dermaplaning Care & Recommendations

  • Avoid direct sun exposure for 48 hours – Newly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV rays.
  • Use a hydrating serum – Encourage your clients to apply hyaluronic acid or soothing aloe vera-based products. Such as Salonserve Soothing Aloe Vera Gel or Serumology Hyaluronic Acid Daily Serum.
  • Apply a broad-spectrum SPF – Protect skin with SPF 30 or higher to prevent sun damage.
  • Avoid harsh skincare products – Your clients should avoid using retinol, AHAs, or BHAs for at least 48 hours.
  • Keep skin clean and hydrated – Use a gentle cleanser, and a non-comedogenic moisturiser to maintain hydration. Such as Natura-Lily’s Calming Cleanser and Natura-Lily’s Calming Moisturiser.
  • Use Clinisept+ for optimal skin hygiene – Our range of Clinisept+ products supports dermaplaning by cleansing and soothing the skin, reducing irritation, and promoting faster recovery. Clinisept+ is dermatologically tested, non-cytotoxic, and free from alcohol/harsh chemicals, making it ideal for post-procedure care.
