DERMAPLANING

WHAT IS DERMAPLANING?

Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique performed using a sterile surgical scalpel held at a precise 45-degree angle. The blade gently glides across the skin's surface, removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair in one smooth, controlled motion.


This medical-grade treatment is performed by Registered Nurse Emily Grace, ensuring safe, professional results in a calm, comfortable environment. Unlike at-home tools or beauty salon treatments, medical dermaplaning delivers superior exfoliation with proper technique, sterile equipment, and expert precision.

DERMAPLANING VS. SHAVING: THE TRUTH

WILL THE HAIR GROW BACK THICKER OR DARKER?


Absolutely not. This is a common myth. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) is structurally different from terminal hair (like on your legs). Dermaplaning removes hair at the surface level and cannot change the hair follicle structure, colour, or growth rate. Hair will grow back exactly as it was—fine, soft, and light.


WHY DERMAPLANING IS DIFFERENT TO SHAVING:

  • Performed at a precise 45-degree angle for exfoliation
  • Uses a surgical-grade scalpel, not a razor
  • Removes dead skin cells simultaneously
  • Performed by a trained medical professional
  • Delivers skin rejuvenation benefits beyond hair removal


WHAT TO EXPECT

Dermaplaning requires minimal aftercare, making it perfect for busy lifestyles:


Immediately After

  • Skin may appear slightly pink (fades within 1-2 hours)
  • Makeup can be applied immediately if needed
  • Skin feels incredibly smooth and soft

First 24-48 Hours

  • Avoid direct sun exposure
  • Apply SPF 30+ (essential)
  • Avoid harsh exfoliants or active ingredients
  • Keep skin hydrated and nourished

Ongoing Care

  • Daily SPF is crucial to protect newly exposed skin
  • Enjoy enhanced absorption of your skincare products
  • Book your next treatment in 3-4 weeks

Your hair will begin to grow back in approximately 3-4 weeks (depending on genetic factors) —exactly as it was before treatment. Many clients schedule regular monthly dermaplaning sessions to maintain their smooth, glowing complexion.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTS

At EG Aesthetics, we use sterile, single-use surgical scalpels specifically designed for medical dermaplaning. These professional-grade instruments ensure the safest, most effective treatment with superior results you cannot achieve with at-home tools.


Our dermaplaning scalpels feature ultra-sharp, surgical-quality blades that glide smoothly across the skin at a precise 45-degree angle. This controlled angle ensures optimal exfoliation while protecting the skin from nicks, cuts, or irritation.



Sterile & Single-Use: Every scalpel is individually packaged and sterile, used once, then safely disposed of. This eliminates any risk of cross-contamination and ensures you receive the highest standard of hygiene and safety.


Superior to Home Tools: Unlike consumer dermaplaning razors or eyebrow shapers, surgical scalpels are designed specifically for skin exfoliation. The blade quality, sharpness, and precision far exceed anything available for home use—delivering professional results that are simply not achievable with DIY tools.


Expert Technique: The scalpel is only as effective as the hands that hold it. We have advanced training in medical dermaplaning technique, understanding exactly how much pressure to apply, which angle to maintain, and how to work safely across different facial contours and skin types.
