Used to rejuvenate the skin, help the appearance of acne scarring, pigmentation, open pores & scars. This course is open to complete beginners or existing therapists, no previous experience required to attend.

Dermaplaning is now one of the most talked about and sought-after treatments.  It is used to remove vellus hair and the dead epidermal layer.  It is a good treatment to use in conjunction with dermarollers, chemical peels, mesotherapy, BB Glow & normal facials.  

The treatment is used a lot in the film and modelling world due to the removal of vellus hair it helps the face look more chiselled and the makeup glides on the skin easier.  There is minimal downtime & is quite a pleasant treatment.   The treatment outgoings for us is minimal which means it has a good profit margin.
