Signature – Dermaplaning
A personalised exfoliating treatment combining professional Dermaplaning with the customised approach of a Sibu Signature Treatment.
Signature – Dermaplaning removes surface dead skin cells and fine vellus hair to reveal smoother, brighter and more refined-looking skin, while allowing your therapist to tailor the remainder of the treatment around what your skin needs on the day.
About Signature – Dermaplaning
Signature – Dermaplaning combines precision Dermaplaning with the personalised approach of our Signature Treatments.
Using a sterile professional blade, your therapist gently removes accumulated dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the surface of the skin.
The treatment is then adapted according to your skin condition and goals, with selected professional skincare and supportive modalities incorporated where appropriate.
The result is immediately smoother, softer and brighter-looking skin with a fresh, refined finish.
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation technique that uses a sterile blade held at a controlled angle to gently remove surface dead skin cells and fine vellus hair.
It works at the surface of the skin and does not change the structure, colour or growth pattern of facial hair.
Removing this surface build-up can leave the skin feeling exceptionally smooth and can improve the way skincare and makeup sit on the skin.
How It Works
Dermaplaning uses a sterile professional blade held at a controlled angle to gently remove accumulated surface dead skin cells and fine vellus hair.
This controlled physical exfoliation creates a smoother skin surface and can immediately improve the way the skin feels and looks.
Once Dermaplaning is complete, your therapist can customise the remainder of the treatment with appropriate professional skincare, hydration, masks, LED Light Therapy or other supportive modalities according to your skin condition and goals.
Dermaplaning works at the surface of the skin. It does not alter the structure of the hair follicle or cause facial hair to grow back thicker, darker or faster.
What Can Dermaplaning Help With?
Dermaplaning may be recommended to help improve the appearance and feel of:
dull or lacklustre skin
fine vellus hair on the face
dry surface build-up
skin that feels less smooth
rough or uneven surface texture
makeup sitting unevenly on the skin
It can also be incorporated into a broader professional skin plan when surface exfoliation would support the overall treatment objective.

Depending on your skin and what your therapist feels will support you best, Signature – Dermaplaning may include:

What to Expect
*
What to Expect *
Your appointment begins with a skin assessment to make sure Dermaplaning is appropriate for your skin.
Your therapist then performs the Dermaplaning treatment using a sterile professional blade and controlled technique.
Once the exfoliation is complete, your treatment is customised with appropriate professional skincare and selected supportive modalities.
Your skin should feel noticeably smoother immediately after treatment and will often appear fresher and more refined.
Before you leave, your therapist will discuss appropriate home care and the best next step for your skin.
Results & Recommended Frequency
Skin usually feels noticeably smoother and softer immediately after Dermaplaning and may appear brighter and more refined.
Results are temporary because the skin continues its normal renewal cycle and vellus hair naturally regrows.
Dermaplaning can be performed as an occasional treatment or incorporated regularly into your skin plan.
For ongoing maintenance, treatments are commonly spaced approximately every 4–6 weeks, depending on your skin condition, goals and treatment plan.
Your therapist will recommend the most appropriate frequency for you.
Before Your Appointment
For the best treatment experience:
Avoid unnecessary exfoliation or strong active products immediately before your appointment.
Avoid picking, scratching or irritating the skin.
Let your therapist know about any recent skin treatments, peels, procedures or changes to your skincare.
Tell your therapist if you are using prescription or highly active skincare.
Let us know if you have developed active breakouts, irritation, cold sores, broken skin or infection before your appointment.
Avoid waxing the treatment area immediately before Dermaplaning.
Your therapist will assess your skin before proceeding.
Contraindications & Cautions
Dermaplaning may need to be modified or postponed if you have:
Active inflamed or pustular acne in the treatment area
Open wounds, broken or compromised skin
Active cold sores or other skin infections
Significant irritation, dermatitis or an active inflammatory flare
Recent aggressive resurfacing, peel or procedure where the skin has not fully recovered
Skin that is unusually fragile or unable to tolerate controlled exfoliation
Certain medications, prescription skincare and recent procedures may also affect treatment suitability.
Always tell your therapist about relevant medications, recent treatments and changes to your skin.
Where Dermaplaning is not appropriate, your therapist will recommend an alternative treatment or advise when it is safe to proceed.
