Dermaplaning Facial Melbourne | Enesima Malvern

Dermaplaning is a precision manual exfoliation technique that uses a sterile, surgical-grade blade to gently remove the uppermost layer of dead skin cells and vellus facial hair (commonly known as peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin. The result is an immediate and dramatic improvement in skin smoothness, radiance, and texture that no other exfoliation method quite replicates.

At Enesima, dermaplaning is performed as a full facial experience rather than a standalone exfoliation, incorporating cleansing, skin preparation, the dermaplaning procedure itself, and a targeted finishing treatment including active serums and a mask. This ensures the treatment is as therapeutic for the skin as it is effective.

The removal of vellus hair and surface skin cells creates an exceptionally smooth canvas that allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively, and provides a flawless base for makeup application. The skin appears immediately brighter, more even, and more refined. Contrary to common myths, dermaplaning does not cause hair to grow back coarser or darker, vellus hair is structurally different from terminal hair and will regrow exactly as it was.

Your clinician will thoroughly cleanse and prepare the skin before performing the dermaplaning procedure using a sterile, single-use blade held at a precise angle against the skin. The treatment feels similar to a light scraping sensation and is generally painless. The full facial session lasts approximately 45–60 minutes.

Following treatment, your skin will feel exceptionally smooth and look noticeably brighter immediately. There is no downtime, though the skin may be slightly more sensitive to sun exposure in the days following, daily SPF is essential. Treatments are typically repeated every 4–6 weeks, which corresponds with the skin's natural cell turnover cycle.
