Dermaplaning

Your Smoothest Skin Starts Here.

You know that feeling when your skin looks good, but your makeup still is not sitting quite the way you want? Sometimes the answer is not another product. It is giving your makeup better skin to work with. A professional exfoliating treatment that removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair, in one appointment.

You Want That Smooth, Polished Look

Not More Makeup. Just Cleaner Skin.

Smooth skin result at Crystalline Clinic

Not another complicated skincare routine. Just skin that feels smoother when you touch it, a complexion that looks fresher, and makeup that has a better surface to sit on.

Because sometimes the little things are what you notice most. The texture. The dullness. The fine facial hair. The way light catches your skin.

Think about getting ready for an important occasion. You moisturise. You do your makeup. You take your pictures. And your foundation still does not give you that seamless finish. Part of the issue may simply be the surface of your skin.

You do not need to change your face. You just want cleaner, smoother-looking skin.

What Is Dermaplaning

One Treatment. Two Surface Concerns Addressed.

A professional exfoliating treatment that uses a sterile blade to gently remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair from the surface of the skin. It is not an injectable, it is not a filler, and it is not designed to change your facial structure.

Dead Skin Cells

The outermost layer of dead skin cells can contribute to a complexion that looks dull and less smooth. Dermaplaning removes that surface build-up as part of the treatment.

Fine Facial Hair

Dermaplaning also removes fine facial hair, sometimes called peach fuzz. That gives the skin a smoother surface and can create a more polished appearance.

I Am Nervous About Having A Blade On My Face

That is understandable, and it sounds more intimidating than it needs to. Dermaplaning is performed using a sterile blade designed specifically for the treatment. Your clinician prepares your skin appropriately and explains what is happening before treatment begins. And if you have questions, ask. We would rather you understood the treatment completely than sat there wondering what we are doing.

Let Us Deal With This First

Will The Hair Grow Back Thicker?

No.

That is one of the biggest myths surrounding dermaplaning, and it is the reason a lot of people who would love this treatment never book it. So we are answering it here rather than at the bottom of the page.

The fine hair on your face is not the same type of hair as the coarse hair on your head or in a beard. Removing it at the surface does not change its type, its thickness or its colour. When it grows back, it returns according to its natural growth pattern.

What does change is how it feels for a few days as it regrows, because a cut end feels blunter than a tapered one. That is a texture you notice on your own face and nobody else ever does, and it passes.

If you have been avoiding this for years because of that one worry, that is the whole worry.

Three Ways To Treat The Surface

Neither Is Automatically Better. They Are Different Reasons.

All three come up when people research this. Here is what actually separates them.

Microdermabrasion

Price₦100,000
HowAbrasive surface exfoliation
Removes fine hairNo

Dermaplaning

Microneedling

HowControlled micro-injury

If you want a smoother surface and fine facial hair removed, dermaplaning is the relevant one. If your focus is deeper work on texture and scarring, microneedling is worth exploring instead.

Is Dermaplaning Right For You

Knowing Your Goal Matters.

It May Be Worth Considering If You

  • Want a smoother-feeling complexion
  • Have visible fine facial hair you would like removed
  • Feel your skin looks dull
  • Want your makeup to sit on smoother skin
  • Prefer a non-injectable facial treatment
  • Want an immediate result rather than something that builds

Another Treatment May Suit You Better If

  • Your concern is significant texture or scarring
  • Your concern is pigmentation, which is a peel question
  • You have active, inflamed breakouts right now
  • You have very reactive skin, in which case tell us before we start
  • You want a permanent solution to facial hair

If your main concern is something more intensive, you may be better suited to another treatment. That is exactly why knowing your goal matters.

Why Crystalline

There Is No Setting To Fall Back On. It Is The Hand Holding It.

Nurse Liz, founder of Crystalline Clinic
Aesthetician Of The Year 2024

This is a blade, held at an angle, drawn across your face. There is no machine deciding the pressure. It is entirely the steadiness and the judgement of the person performing it, which makes where you have it done matter more than the price.

Crystalline is a medic-led aesthetics hub, founded by Nurse Liz, who brings more than six years of NHS experience and more than a decade in the beauty industry. She was named Aesthetician of the Year at the BFH Gala 2024.

And through the Crystalline Academy, practitioners are trained within the same brand. That means the clinic is not simply interested in selling treatments. We care about the standard behind them.

You Do Not Have To Wait For An Event

You Deserve To Like What You See On An Ordinary Tuesday Too.

Dermaplaning is often thought of as a pre-event treatment, and smoother-looking skin certainly is appealing before a special occasion. It is also one of the few resurfacing treatments with no flaking phase to wait out, which is exactly why people choose it for that.

But you do not need a wedding invitation to justify taking care of your skin. Your skin is with you every day. Your reflection is with you every day.

Never overdone. Always elegant.

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is dermaplaning?
A professional exfoliating treatment that uses a sterile blade to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair from the surface of the skin.
Does dermaplaning remove facial hair?
Yes. Dermaplaning removes fine facial hair, often referred to as peach fuzz, from the surface of the skin.
Will my facial hair grow back thicker?
No. Dermaplaning does not change the natural thickness, colour or growth pattern of your facial hair. It can feel blunter for a few days as it regrows, because a cut end feels different from a tapered one.

The Dermaplaning Facial is ₦200,000.
How long does dermaplaning take?

Do I need a consultation before booking?
No. Dermaplaning is a direct-booking treatment, so you can book and pay for the appointment directly.
Is dermaplaning painful?
It is a surface exfoliation treatment and most people describe it as a light scraping sensation rather than pain. Your clinician will explain what to expect before beginning.
Can I have it before an event?
Yes, and it is one of the treatments most suited to that, because there is no flaking phase. A few days before rather than the morning of.
Is dermaplaning the same as microdermabrasion?
No. Both are exfoliating treatments but they use different techniques. Dermaplaning uses a sterile blade and also removes fine facial hair. Microdermabrasion uses abrasive surface exfoliation and is ₦100,000.

Not necessarily. Your individual skin and circumstances should be considered before treatment. If you are unsure whether it is appropriate for you, speak with the clinical team.
