Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning gently removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair, often called peach fuzz. It can help dry, dull or uneven skin feel smoother and allows makeup to sit more evenly.
FROM $125.00
APPOINTMENT TIME
45 minutes
BEST FOR
Fine facial hair, dullness, dryness and uneven skin texture.
DOWNTIME
Little to none. Your skin may look slightly pink or feel more sensitive straight after treatment.
Dermaplaning Treatment Options
Dermaplaning can be booked as a standalone exfoliating treatment or added to a facial. Both options remove dead surface skin and fine facial hair. The difference is whether you want dermaplaning on its own or as part of a longer facial appointment.
Full Face Dermaplaning
$155.00
45 minutes
A focused treatment for removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz from the face. Choose this option if you want smoother skin and more even texture without booking a full facial.
Dermaplaning facial add-on
45 minutes
Add dermaplaning to your chosen facial so the exfoliation and facial hair removal are completed as part of the same appointment. The rest of the treatment will follow the facial you have booked.
How does Dermaplaning work?
Your skin is first cleansed and dried. A sterile blade is then held at an angle and moved across the face using short, controlled strokes. This gently removes the outer build-up of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the skin’s surface.
Removing this surface layer can make rough or dry areas feel smoother and creates a more even base for skincare and makeup. The treatment is controlled by hand so areas around the natural curves of the face can be treated carefully.
Dermaplaning FAQs
Not sure whether dermaplaning suits your skin? Sangita can check your current skin condition and advise whether it’s suitable on its own or as part of a facial.
Will my facial hair grow back thicker or darker after Dermaplaning?
No. Dermaplaning doesn’t change the thickness, colour or growth rate of your hair. The hair may feel slightly different as it first grows back because it has been cut at the surface, but its natural texture has not changed.
How long do Dermaplaning results last?
The smooth feeling is temporary because dead skin cells build up again and fine facial hair continues its normal growth cycle. The timing of another treatment will depend on how quickly your hair grows and how your skin responds.
Does Dermaplaning hurt?
Dermaplaning shouldn’t be painful. Most people feel a light scraping or brushing sensation as the blade moves across the skin.
Can I have Dermaplaning if I have acne or sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin may still be treated if it is calm on the day. Dermaplaning should be avoided over active or inflamed acne, open skin, cold sores, rashes, or a flare-up of eczema or dermatitis.
Can Dermaplaning improve acne scars?
While dermaplaning can make the skin surface look and feel smoother, which may make very shallow marks appear less noticeable, it won’t treat deep, pitted or raised acne scars, where another treatment such as Dermapen 4 Microneedling may be more suitable.
What should I avoid after Dermaplaning?
Keep your skincare gentle while the skin settles. Avoid makeup, heavy exercise, hot showers, saunas and excess heat for the first 12 to 24 hours. Pause retinol, scrubs and exfoliating acids for the time advised, and wear SPF 30 or higher each day.
Can I do Dermaplaning at home?
A facial razor can remove fine hair, but it doesn’t provide the same controlled exfoliation as professional Dermaplaning. Using a blade incorrectly can cause cuts, irritation or infection.

De-Arna BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing great results with my skin concerns at Skinworks Sangita is very professional and welcoming She took the time to discuss my concerns thoroughly Highly reccomend Sangita CreeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Skinworks Clinic is absolutely lovely and they really care about doing what’s best for your skin! Highly recommend coming in for a consultation and facial with Sangita - she’s the best 🩷 Sangita introduced me to the Dermalyte LED mask and red light therapy. It has been the best and most effective treatment for my facial eczema! Since starting using my Dermalyte flares clear up much faster and my skin stays looking healthy and less dull. If you’re looking for something that has lasting results I highly recommend! Sangita is very knowledgeable and works to find a treatment that suits you!! StephanieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience! My first facial service here in NZ & I was very happy with the process and results of my facial. Skinworks clinic is located in a convient area, clean space with a great amount of self-care services that are reasonably priced. I booked my second facial before I left :) Anri GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Update on healing : I had my 3rd therapy and it’s improved so much! If you can afford it, I definitely recommend getting a LED Light mask. BUT please remember to always follow the aftercare instructions if you’re getting plasmapen done!! —————————————————————————— Update on healing : Had the 2nd LED light therapy. As always, Sangita is always welcoming and friendly. The LEF therapy is definitely working. But if you’re Asian and considering having a Plasma done especially on Upper lip, please adhere to the instructions. Trust me, it’s very important. And be patient. It does take time to heal!! —————————————————————————— ↓further to my previous post: I’ve done my first Plasmapen session on my nose and upper lip with Sangita. She was very welcoming and friendly, and very assuring. She has again explained the risk factors and advised why two small areas are the best options to go ahead today when I said I wanted full face. Im looking forward to my next appointment! —————————————————————————— I’ve done a long research on Plasma Pen treatment and found this place, but I was very hesitant to go ahead. Sangita has kindly called me and gave me a thorough explanation and never pushed me to go ahead with the treatment. I haven’t had the treatment yet but already rating 5. Looking forward to it. Gaby MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After my first appointment at skin works I knew I was in the right place. I had never had the experience before where someone had taken such time to get to know me and my skin before suggesting a treatment or product. I totally trust Sangita and have already seen huge improvements in my skin texture and tone after only a couple of months. Alex CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sangita is the best!! I'm on a really strict budget and she works magic with it. I always leave with a clean, happy face. She's so gentle and understanding, I highly recommend seeing her if you're new to skincare or intimidated by it. Can't wait for my next appointment ☺️Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 85 reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
