DERMAPLANING
One of the things I love most about offering dermaplaning here at The Skin Studio is the reaction clients have when they see their skin immediately after treatment. I had a client come to me ahead of her wedding — she wanted her skin to look its absolute best for the big day and had heard about dermaplaning from a friend in West Bridgford. The moment she saw her reflection after her session, the look on her face said everything. Her skin was smoother, brighter, and more radiant than she'd seen it in years — and that's exactly the kind of result that dermaplaning consistently delivers.
Dermaplaning is a professional skin treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently and precisely remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair — often referred to as peach fuzz — from the surface of the face. The result is skin that feels incredibly smooth to the touch, looks visibly brighter, and is perfectly primed to absorb your skincare products far more effectively than before.
At The Skin Studio I offer dermaplaning in Nottingham from a private, one-to-one clinic setting that is calm, unhurried, and focused entirely on you. I'm fully trained and fully insured, and I take the time to properly assess your skin before every treatment. Clients come to me from across Nottingham — from Beeston and Arnold to Sherwood, Wollaton, and the city centre — and many choose dermaplaning as their go-to treatment for an instant skin refresh.
Every dermaplaning session includes full aftercare advice and guidance, so you always leave The Skin Studio knowing exactly how to care for your newly revealed skin at home.

What is Dermaplaning and How Does it Work?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile, surgical grade blade held at a precise angle to gently scrape away the surface layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the face. It's a highly controlled, skilled treatment that requires proper training and a steady hand — which is why it's so important to have it carried out by a qualified specialist rather than attempting any at-home alternatives and is the perfect pre-treatment for a microneedling facial.
The treatment works by removing the very top layer of the skin — the stratum corneum — along with the fine peach fuzz that sits on the surface. This instantly reveals the fresher, smoother, more luminous skin underneath, and also creates the ideal canvas for skincare products and treatment serums to penetrate far more deeply and effectively than they would on unprepared skin.

What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is one of those treatments that delivers immediate, visible results — which is one of the reasons it's so popular with my Nottingham clients. The benefits include:
- Instantly smoother skin — the removal of dead skin cells and vellus hair leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft and smooth from the very first treatment
- Brighter, more radiant complexion — by removing the dull surface layer, dermaplaning reveals the fresher skin underneath for an immediate glow
- Improved product absorption — without the barrier of dead skin cells and fine hair, your chemical peel serums and moisturisers can penetrate much more deeply and work far more effectively
- Reduced appearance of fine lines — regular dermaplaning helps to smooth the skin's surface, softening the appearance of fine lines over time
- Perfectly primed skin — dermaplaning creates an exceptionally smooth base for makeup application, which is why it's such a popular choice before weddings, events, and special occasions
- Safe for most skin types — dermaplaning is suitable for the majority of skin types including sensitive skin, making it one of the most accessible professional treatments available
Will Dermaplaning Make My Hair Grow Back Thicker?
This is by far the most common question I'm asked about dermaplaning — and I'm always happy to put the myth to rest. No, dermaplaning will not make your facial hair grow back thicker or darker. Vellus hair, the fine peach fuzz that covers the face, has a completely different structure to terminal hair. Removing it at the surface with a blade does not affect the hair follicle beneath the skin in any way, and it will always grow back with exactly the same colour, texture, and thickness as before. This is a concern I hear regularly from clients across Nottingham who are curious about dermaplaning but nervous about trying it — and once I've explained the science, most of them wonder why they waited so long to book.
What Happens During a Dermaplaning Appointment at The Skin Studio?
Every dermaplaning appointment at The Skin Studio begins with a skin assessment and consultation to make sure the treatment is suitable for you. Dermaplaning is not recommended for skin with active acne breakouts, as working over raised, inflamed skin could cause irritation or spread bacteria — and I'll always be upfront with you if I feel the timing isn't right for your skin.
Once we've confirmed suitability, your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared before the treatment begins. Using a sterile surgical blade, I work carefully and methodically across the face, removing the dead skin layer and vellus hair with precise, feathering strokes. The treatment is completely pain free — most clients find it deeply relaxing and describe the sensation as a gentle, warm scraping feeling across the skin.
The whole treatment typically takes around 45 minutes, and the results are visible immediately. Your skin will look and feel noticeably different from the moment you leave the clinic.
Dermaplaning as Part of The Skin Studio Signature Facial
One of the things that makes dermaplaning such a versatile treatment is how beautifully it combines with other therapies. At The Skin Studio I offer dermaplaning as part of my Signature Facial — a luxury, all-in-one treatment that combines dermaplaning with professional microneedling, targeted serums, lymphatic facial massage, a nourishing face mask, moisturiser, and SPF.
Because dermaplaning removes the surface barrier of dead skin and vellus hair before the microneedling begins, the active ingredients in the serums used during the treatment are able to penetrate far more deeply into the skin — maximising the results of both treatments together. It's a genuinely transformative experience that delivers visible, long lasting improvements in skin texture, tone, and radiance. If you're looking for the ultimate skin treatment in Nottingham, The Signature Facial is something I'd highly recommend exploring during your consultation.
Why Choose The Skin Studio for Dermaplaning in Nottingham?
Dermaplaning might look straightforward, but it's a treatment that requires genuine skill, proper training, and a thorough understanding of skin health and safety. A surgical blade being used on the face demands precision, confidence, and the kind of expertise that only comes from proper professional qualifications and hands-on experience. It's not something I ever take lightly, and it's not something that should be carried out by anyone who isn't fully trained and insured to do so.
Fully Trained and Insured — Your Safety Always Comes First
At The Skin Studio I am fully trained and fully insured to carry out dermaplaning, and I only ever use sterile, single use surgical grade blades — never reused equipment of any kind. Every treatment I offer meets the highest professional standards, and I stay up to date with industry developments to make sure my Nottingham clients always receive care that is safe, effective, and evidence based.
I'm also completely honest about suitability. If your skin isn't in the right condition for dermaplaning on the day of your appointment — for example if you have active breakouts or heightened sensitivity — I'll tell you, and we'll either adapt the treatment or rebook for a more appropriate time. That kind of straightforward, client-first approach is something I believe every person deserves when they're trusting someone with their skin.
A Private, One-to-One Clinic Setting
Dermaplaning is an intimate, precise treatment that deserves to be carried out in a calm and focused environment — and that's exactly what The Skin Studio provides. As a private clinic rather than a busy salon, your appointment is entirely your own. There are no other clients being seen alongside you, no background noise or distractions, and no sense of being hurried through your treatment.
Clients come to me from right across Nottingham — from Mapperley and Carlton to West Bridgford, Beeston, and the Lace Market — and many of them tell me that the private, relaxed atmosphere at The Skin Studio is unlike anything they've experienced at a salon before. That calm, focused environment isn't just a nice touch — for a treatment like dermaplaning, it genuinely makes a difference to the quality of the experience and the results.
Aftercare That Protects Your Results
After dermaplaning your skin is in a beautifully receptive state — but it's also more sensitive than usual, which means proper aftercare in the days following your treatment is essential. I include full, detailed aftercare advice and guidance with every single dermaplaning session at The Skin Studio, so you always leave your appointment knowing exactly how to look after your newly revealed skin.
I'll advise you on which products to use and avoid, the importance of daily SPF application, and how to get the very best from your skincare routine in the days and weeks following your treatment. Many of my Nottingham clients tell me that this level of aftercare support is something they simply haven't received elsewhere — and it's something I'll never compromise on.
Trusted by Clients Across Nottingham
Some of my most loyal clients first came to The Skin Studio for dermaplaning — often nervous, often having heard mixed things online, and often pleasantly surprised by just how different the reality is from what they'd imagined. Seeing a client leave with glowing skin and a genuine smile, knowing they'll be back and that they'll recommend me to their friends across Nottingham, is something that never gets old.

FAQs — Dermaplaning Nottingham
What is dermaplaning and what does it involve?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile, surgical grade blade to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair — often called peach fuzz — from the surface of the face. It's a precise, skilled treatment that delivers immediate, visible results, leaving your skin feeling incredibly smooth, looking noticeably brighter, and perfectly primed to absorb your skincare products more effectively. At The Skin Studio I carry out every dermaplaning treatment with full professional training and insurance, in a calm and private clinic setting here in Nottingham.
Will dermaplaning make my facial hair grow back thicker or darker?
This is the question I'm asked most often about dermaplaning — and I'm always glad to put the myth to rest. No, dermaplaning will not make your facial hair grow back thicker, darker, or coarser. The fine vellus hair on the face has a completely different structure to terminal hair, and removing it at the surface with a blade has no effect whatsoever on the hair follicle beneath the skin. It will always grow back with exactly the same colour, texture, and thickness as before. This is one of the most persistent misconceptions about dermaplaning, and it's something I'm always happy to discuss in more detail during your consultation.
Is dermaplaning suitable for my skin type?
Dermaplaning is suitable for the majority of skin types, including sensitive skin — which makes it one of the most accessible professional treatments available. However, it is not recommended for skin with active acne breakouts, as working over raised or inflamed skin could cause irritation or spread bacteria. I always carry out a thorough skin assessment before every treatment at The Skin Studio, and I'll always be completely honest with you if I feel the timing isn't right for your skin. Your safety and comfort always come first.
Does dermaplaning hurt?
Dermaplaning is a completely pain free treatment. Most of my clients find it deeply relaxing and describe the sensation as a gentle, warm scraping feeling across the skin. There is no numbing cream required, no downtime, and no discomfort during or after the treatment. Many clients tell me it's one of the most relaxing treatments they've ever had — which is always lovely to hear.
How long does a dermaplaning treatment take and how soon will I see results?
A dermaplaning treatment at The Skin Studio typically takes around 45 minutes from start to finish, including your skin assessment and aftercare advice. One of the things clients love most about dermaplaning is that the results are visible immediately — your skin will look and feel noticeably smoother, brighter, and more radiant from the moment you leave the clinic. There's no waiting for results to develop over weeks, which makes it a particularly popular choice ahead of weddings, special occasions, and events.
How often should I have dermaplaning?
Most clients find that having dermaplaning every four to six weeks works beautifully as part of an ongoing skin maintenance routine. This timing aligns naturally with the skin's renewal cycle, ensuring that each treatment is working on a fresh layer of skin. During your consultation I'll recommend a treatment schedule that makes sense for your skin type, lifestyle, and goals — and I'll always be honest with you about what I think will genuinely benefit your skin in the long term.
What should I avoid after my dermaplaning treatment?
In the days following your dermaplaning session your skin will be more sensitive and receptive than usual, so it's important to keep things simple and gentle. I advise avoiding active skincare ingredients such as retinol, AHAs, and BHAs for at least five to seven days post treatment, avoiding direct sun exposure where possible, and applying a high factor SPF every single day during your recovery period. I also recommend avoiding heavy makeup for the first 24 hours to allow your skin to breathe. I'll walk you through all of this in detail before you leave your appointment so you feel completely confident about your aftercare routine.
Can I combine dermaplaning with other treatments at The Skin Studio?
Absolutely — and in fact, dermaplaning combines beautifully with a number of other treatments I offer. One of the most popular combinations is dermaplaning with microneedling, which is the foundation of my Skin Studio Signature Facial. Because dermaplaning removes the surface barrier of dead skin and vellus hair beforehand, the active serums used during microneedling are able to penetrate far more deeply into the skin — maximising the results of both treatments together. If you're interested in exploring a combined treatment approach, I'd love to discuss the options with you during your consultation.
