At-Home vs In-Studio

Premium Blade Technology
At Skintopia, our skin therapists use surgical-grade, single-use blades designed for professional use. These deliver a far more effective and even exfoliation than at-home tools, which are often dull, less precise, and not sterile.
 
Safer, Expert Technique
Our therapists are trained to perform dermaplaning safely and effectively, avoiding common DIY risks like nicks, irritation, or uneven results. You’re in expert hands.

Enhanced Results with Customisation
Your treatment can be tailored to your skin’s needs and paired with LED Light Therapy to calm, soothe, and support skin recovery post-exfoliation—something you simply can’t replicate at home.

“Loving the results of my Dermaplaning treatment at Skintopia! I was nervous at first but was surprised at how delicate and gentle the process was. It was actually very relaxing and I can't believe how smooth and glowy my skin now looks. By removing the dead skin and that fluffy surface hair, my makeup now applies and sits perfectly, and my skin looks radiant. Post-dermaplaning glow is real!”

FAQs

How does Dermaplaning work?

Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair using a sterile surgical blade for smoother, brighter skin.

Is it painful?

No, dermaplaning is not painful—it’s a gentle treatment that feels more like light scraping or brushing on the skin.

What’s the downtime?

Dermaplaning has no real downtime—most people return to normal activities immediately, though skin may appear slightly pink for a few hours.

When will I see results and how long will the results last?

Results are immediate—skin looks smoother, brighter, and more radiant right after the treatment. Results typically last around 3–4 weeks, depending on your skin cycle and how quickly dead skin and fine hair regrow.

What are the add-on options?

Dermaplaning only – $135

Dermaplaning + LED – $185
Add on a LED treatment with your Dermaplaning service. A Light Energy Masque is applied under red LED light to amplify results.

Dermaplaning + Skin Saviour – $235
Upgrade to the Skin Saviour treatment, which includes a Light Energy Masque, LED Light, and a Cooling BioCellulose masque for ultimate soothing and glow.

Who should avoid Dermaplaning?

Direct sun exposure (always wear SPF)
Harsh exfoliants or active ingredients (like retinol or AHAs) for 2–3 days
Heavy makeup for 24 hours
Excessive heat (e.g. saunas, hot showers) for 24 hours
