WHAT IT IS
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a professional skin treatment in which a trained skin therapist uses a sterile surgical-grade blade to manually exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin cells and remove fine facial hair (vellus hair, commonly known as peach fuzz) from the face.
The treatment reveals fresher, smoother skin underneath, improves product absorption, and creates a smoother base for makeup. It is suitable for most skin types, requires no downtime, and produces immediate results. Dermaplaning is available at Skin Ritual in Newmarket, Auckland, at $159 per session or $130 as an add-on to any treatment.
WHO IT HELPS
Dermaplaning is ideal for...
01
DULL, FLAT COMPLEXION
Removing the build-up of dead skin cells that sit on the surface immediately restores radiance and a healthy glow to the skin.
03
UNEVEN TEXTURE
Manual exfoliation refines skin texture and creates a noticeably smoother surface that feels as good as it looks.
02
DEAD SKIN BUILDUP
Dead skin cell build-up acts as a barrier. Removing it allows your serums, moisturisers, and active ingredients to penetrate and work properly.
04
FINE FACIAL HAIR
Vellus hair (peach fuzz) is removed cleanly and completely — no irritation, no regrowth changes, no ingrown hairs.
WHAT TO EXPECT
How does a dermaplaning treatment work?
Cleanse + Prep
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and dried. Dermaplaning requires completely dry skin for the blade to glide correctly - this is important for both safety and results.
Dermaplaning
Your therapist uses a sterile, surgical-grade dermaplaning blade held at a precise 45-degree angle. Using short, feathering strokes, they work across the face to remove the surface layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair. The sensation is a gentle scraping - most clients describe it as completely comfortable.
Post-treatment finish
A calming leave-on mask and SPF are applied to complete the treatment. The skin will look immediately brighter and feel noticeably softer. You can apply makeup and return to your day straight away.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
What you can expect from dermaplaning
Results depend on skin type and skin concern. These are the outcomes most clients experience when they follow the skin therapist guidance.
Instantly Smoother Skin
Surface texture improvement is immediate and noticeable, both to touch and to look at.
Peach fuzz removed
Fine facial hair is removed cleanly and completely - with no effect on future hair growth, colour, or texture.
Brighter Complexion
Dead skin cell removal restores radiance and gives the skin a fresh, healthy glow from the first treatment.
"
I have been visiting Skin Ritual for monthly treatments the past year and I could not be more impressed with my progress and the services provided. My therapist, Tanya, is so friendly and informative and I always look forward to seeing her! I have tried so many different products and routines in the past, but switching to a ‘less is more’ approach and using the products recommended I have seen a huge difference. A huge thank you to Tanya & the team at Skin Ritual for helping build my confidence & keeping my skin looking great.
