Smooth glow

Smooth skin starts at the surface.

Which layer your skin needs now, we decide together in the consult.

The treatment

At Mavi, dermaplaning is a preparatory technique. By removing peach fuzz and dead skin cells, a Hydrafacial works more evenly and serums penetrate deeper. Your skin instantly looks smoother and catches the light more beautifully — with no downtime.

Using a sterile surgical blade, the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair is gently removed. A controlled, superficial exfoliation — painless and with no recovery time. Skin is smoother afterwards and absorbs actives better.

Never loose — always in a plan

Dermaplaning is part of a plan, not a one-off treatment.

We don't decide on a single treatment in advance. During your Skin Strategy Consult we analyse your skin and build a plan — which treatment, in which order, at which rhythm. Only then do we schedule sessions. So you know exactly where Dermaplaning fits in your story.

Rhythm · Optionally combined before the Hydrafacial, or as maintenance every 4–6 weeks — determined within your journey. We never combine dermaplaning within the same week as a microneedling session.

How it works

What happens beneath the skin

Gentle exfoliation

The top layer of dead skin cells is removed in a controlled way — the skin surface becomes instantly smoother.

Fuzz disappears

The fine vellus hair goes with it — light and make-up sit more beautifully on the skin.

Deeper absorption

Without that barrier, serums and follow-up treatments penetrate more evenly and deeply.

Practical

Well prepared for your appointment

Duration

45–60 minutes

How it feels

A soft scraping sensation, completely painless — most clients find it relaxing

Downtime

None — at most a light pink glow that fades quickly

Sessions & rhythm

Optional before a Hydrafacial or event; as maintenance every 4–6 weeks

Investment

from €60 per session

Aftercare

  • Strict SPF — freshly exfoliated skin is more sun-sensitive
  • No acids, scrubs or retinol for 24 hours
  • Preferably no make-up for the rest of the day; mild, hydrating care

Not suitable with

  • Active acne or inflamed skin in the zone
  • Active cold sore
  • Very reactive or damaged skin — mention beforehand

Unsure about a contra-indication or medication? Mention it at your consult — we look at it together, honestly and without obligation.

Staying honest

What you can and can't expect

What it is

  • An instantly smoother, fresher skin surface
  • Better absorption of serums and follow-up treatments
  • Make-up and light that sit more beautifully on the skin

What it isn't

  • No structural lift or collagen treatment
  • Not hair removal — fuzz grows back exactly as it was
  • Not a solution for active acne or inflammation

Within which goal

What Dermaplaning contributes to

Questions

Good to know

Does my fuzz grow back thicker or darker?+

No — that's a myth. Vellus hair grows back exactly as it was; the blade changes nothing about hair structure or growth.

Is dermaplaning suitable for sensitive skin?+

Usually yes: it's a mechanical exfoliation without acids. With active inflammation or very reactive skin we postpone it — we discuss this in your consult.

Why before the Hydrafacial?+

Without fuzz and dead skin cells, the Hydrafacial works more evenly and the serums penetrate deeper. The combination strengthens the result of both.

Can I wear make-up afterwards?+

Preferably not for the rest of the day — your skin has just been exfoliated. From the next morning, make-up actually sits more beautifully than before.

Does Dermaplaning suit your skin?

During your Skin Strategy Consult we determine together whether this treatment fits — and in which order within your plan.
