Dermaplaning Refresh

Smooth, Luminous Skin with Precision Care

At Shellharbour Skin, our Dermaplaning Refresh treatment provides a refined approach to gentle exfoliation and surface renewal.

Using a sterile surgical blade, this treatment carefully removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”) to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion, enhancing product absorption and leaving the skin feeling refreshed and polished.

Treatment time: 30 minutes
Downtime: Minimal – slight redness may occur for a few hours

What to Expect

Each Dermaplaning Refresh treatment is performed with precision and care to ensure both comfort and safety.

Double Cleanse – The skin is thoroughly cleansed using professional formulations to remove impurities, oil, and debris, ensuring optimal preparation.

Sterilisation Prep – A medical-grade antiseptic solution is applied to sterilise the skin, reducing the risk of irritation or post-treatment breakouts.

Manual Dermaplaning – Using a sterile, single-use surgical blade, your clinician gently exfoliates the skin’s surface, removing dead cells and fine vellus hair. This process helps smooth texture and create a radiant finish without downtime.

Finishing Products – The treatment concludes with soothing and hydrating finishing products, hand-selected to calm and nourish the skin. A broad-spectrum SPF is applied to protect your freshly exfoliated skin.

Benefits

While results vary, Dermaplaning Refresh is designed to:

• Smooth and refine uneven skin texture
• Enhance natural radiance and luminosity
• Improve the absorption of skincare and active ingredients
• Create a flawless base for makeup application
• Remove fine facial hair for a soft, silky finish

Cost: $ Your clinician may recommend combining Dermaplaning Refresh with LED therapy or a hydrating facial to further enhance skin glow and long-term health.

Post-Treatment Care

Following your Dermaplaning treatment, your skin may feel smooth and slightly sensitive for several hours. To maintain results:

• Avoid active ingredients (retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C) for 3–5 days
• Keep the skin hydrated with gentle, non-active moisturisers
• Avoid heat exposure, saunas, and heavy makeup for 24 hours
• Apply SPF daily to protect and preserve results

Your clinician will provide tailored aftercare recommendations to ensure your skin remains balanced and luminous.

Potential Risks & Considerations

Dermaplaning is safe when performed by trained clinicians using sterile, single-use instruments. However, as the procedure involves the use of a surgical blade, it is important that the patient remains still throughout the treatment to ensure accuracy and safety.

Possible short-term effects may include mild redness, sensitivity, breakouts or light flaking for the first few days. On occasion, minor grazing or pinpoint marks can occur. These typically resolve quickly with appropriate aftercare.

A pre-treatment consultation ensures suitability and identifies any contraindications such as active acne, recent exfoliation treatments, or skin sensitivity.

Individual results and experiences vary.
