Dermaplaning is a blade held against someone’s face, so the technique has to be automatic before you touch a client. Angle, pressure, how you hold the skin taut, and where you do not go. It is one of the easiest treatments to add to a menu and one of the easiest to do badly.
What the session covers
- 01Skin anatomy and contraindicationsWhat you are removing and what you are not, and the skin conditions that mean you do not treat.
- 02Blade handlingAngle, pressure, stroke length, holding skin taut, and working around the areas that catch people out.

Questions people ask
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. Nothing assumes prior training, and the manual comes to you before the day so you arrive with the theory already read.
Will I work on a live model?
Yes, and the model is arranged for you along with all blades and product.
Does the hair grow back thicker?
No, and being able to answer that confidently is worth knowing — it is the question every client asks.
Will I be able to get insured?
The certificate is CPD accredited and is accepted by UK aesthetics insurers.
