WHAT IS DERMAPLANING ?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the skin's surface. During the treatment, the scalpel is used at a 45-degree angle to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (commonly known as peach fuzz) from the face. This process effectively smooths the skin's texture, enhances its radiance, and allows for better penetration of skincare products.
Dermaplaning is known for its ability to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. It also promotes the skin's natural renewal process by triggering cell turnover, resulting in a more even skin tone and smoother complexion. The procedure is typically painless and requires no downtime, making it suitable for most skin types.

Dermaplaning in Ruislip: Why This Simple Treatment Changes How Products Perform
Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin. Beyond the instant smoothness, it removes the barrier that stops serums and moisturisers absorbing properly, so everything you apply afterwards works harder.
Instant Smoothness
Removing dead skin and fine hair leaves an immediately smoother, brighter surface, which is why it's popular before makeup application for events.
Better Product Absorption
Without a layer of dead skin cells in the way, active ingredients like vitamin C and hyaluronic acid penetrate more effectively.
No Downtime, No Needles
It's a painless, non-invasive treatment with no recovery period, making it easy to fit into a routine before an occasion or as a monthly maintenance step.

Skin Check
We check for active breakouts, sunburn or recent treatments that would mean postponing, since dermaplaning needs calm, settled skin.
Cleanse
Skin is thoroughly cleansed so the blade can pass smoothly across a clean surface.
Dermaplaning
The blade is held at a shallow angle and moved in short, gentle strokes across the face to lift away dead skin and fine hair.
Calm & Protect
A soothing serum, moisturiser and broad-spectrum SPF are applied to protect the newly revealed skin.

Dermaplaning Near Ruislip: A Quiet Confidence Boost
Dermaplaning at The Glo Bar is carried out slowly and precisely, at a shallow angle across clean, prepared skin. It's one of the few treatments where the difference is visible the moment you sit up from the chair.
It also pairs well with a hydrating facial in the same visit, since freshly dermaplaned skin absorbs hydrating serums particularly well, though we'll always confirm that combination suits your skin first.
Dermaplaning Ruislip: Frequently Asked Questions
Will dermaplaning make my hair grow back thicker or darker?
No. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair at the surface without affecting the follicle, so hair grows back exactly as it was, not thicker, darker or coarser.
Can dermaplaning be done alongside a course of chemical peels?
It can, but timing matters. We'd usually space the two treatments apart rather than combine them in one session, and we'll plan this with you at consultation.
What should I avoid in the days before dermaplaning?
Avoid retinoids and exfoliating acids for around 72 hours beforehand, and steer clear of sun exposure or fresh sunburn on the treatment area.
Is dermaplaning suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
It can be, provided there's no active, inflamed breakout on the area to be treated. We'll assess this at your appointment and adjust or postpone if needed.
How soon can I apply makeup after dermaplaning?
Straight away. Many clients find makeup applies more smoothly afterwards, since there's no peach fuzz or dead skin left to interfere with blending.
Which areas near Ruislip do clients travel from for dermaplaning?
Alongside Ruislip itself, we regularly welcome clients from Ruislip Manor, Eastcote, Northwood, Pinner and Ickenham to our High Street clinic.
