Dermaplaning in South Wimbledon

Dermaplaning at our South Wimbledon salon

Dermaplaning is manual exfoliation with a sterile blade held at an angle to the skin. It takes off the outermost layer of dead cells along with the fine vellus hair that traps them, and the difference is immediate: skincare absorbs better, foundation sits flat instead of catching, and skin has an even tone that no chemical exfoliant quite replicates.

It is safe, painless and takes about 45 minutes. The most common question is whether the hair grows back thicker — it does not. Vellus hair has no capacity to change into coarse terminal hair; it returns exactly as it was in two to three weeks. Dermaplaning is not suitable over active acne, cold sores or inflamed skin, and it pairs well with a mask or LED at the end of the same appointment.

The South Wimbledon salon is on Kingston Road, a short walk from South Wimbledon Underground station on the Northern line and on the 57, 93, 131 and 219 bus routes. Street parking is available on the surrounding residential roads. Wimbledon town centre, Colliers Wood and Morden are all within ten minutes.
