The Dermaplane treatment is our special combination facial now available at Aesthetic Solutions. It combines the Obagi Medical System of professional skincare products with the latest in exfoliating treatments using Dermaplanning, alongside LED light therapy with our Déesse LED light mask.
This signature facial treatment is designed to exfoliate, deeply cleanse and moisturise your skin leaving it feeling rejuvenated, radiant and looking beautiful and fresh. By using the Obagi Medical System we can offer a facial treatment using medical-grade ingredients in a professional, in-clinic procedure that far surpasses facials available in beauty salons and spas, to give your skin real improvement, whilst addressing minor skin imperfections and improving skin tone and texture.
After a consultation with Jai our skin specialist aesthetician, which will include a thorough review of your current skin health using our VISIA imaging system, your face with cleansed using a relaxing hot towel and the Obagi Medical Gentle Cleanser. This will be followed by the Obagi Medical Toner which will be applied over your whole face and allowed to dry.
At this point we introduce the Dermaplaning treatment to exfoliate your skin, removing the dead skin layer from the epidermis, as well as any deep dirt and debris, and any fine or vellus facial hairs, sometimes called ‘peach fuzz’. This will leave you with a smoother, cleaner and more receptive surface skin layer. This means that the remaining Obagi Medical products within the signature facial treatment can penetrate to optimum levels and achieve skin improvements. Vellus hair can often cause a build-up of sebum or natural oils and dirt within the tiny hair follicles, so removing these fine hairs will improve the overall health of your skin. Removing vellus hair will not make it grow back thicker or darker in colour so do not be concerned. The act of Dermaplaning alone can also have an improvement on skin tone and texture, as well as helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, mild pigmentation and scarring.
Dermaplaning is simple and safe and is not to be confused with dermabrasion which is an aggressive, surgical abrasion procedure. The Dermaplaning procedure removes the skin debris quickly and simply using a medical grade exfoliation tool which our practitioner moves across your face using light, feathering strokes.
Upon completion of the Dermaplane treatment, you can relax for 20 minutes under our Déesse LED mask and experience the warming sensation from the light therapy which uses different coloured Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to target differing skin concerns including skin ageing and acne. LED light is proven to aid and accelerate skin healing so helps the skin to repair and renew through the stimulation of new collagen and elastin which make up new skin cells.
The Obagi Medical Hydrate Facial Moisturiser is then applied to your entire face whilst you enjoy a mini face massage. Concluding the Obagi Signature Facial we will apply Obagi Medical Physical UV Sun Block SPF 32 to protect your newly treated skin from sun exposure when you leave the clinic.

The Obagi Signature Facial is a combination in the use of the Obagi Medical range of skincare products, Dermaplaning and the Déesse mask for LED light therapy aimed at deep cleansing and rejuvenating the skin through the removal of dead skin cells, vellus hair and debris, followed by the application of topical, hydrating skin care products and light emitting diodes.
After a consultation and a through skin analysis using our VISIA imaging system, skin is first cleansed and then toned. Exfoliation is performed via a Dermaplane treatment, followed by LED light therapy, culminating in moisturising and a massage and protection with an SPF sunscreen.
Dermaplaning is an in-clinic exfoliation treatment which uses a special, sterile, surgical scalpel to gently remove the surface layer of dead skin cells, along with fine, vellus hair, sometimes called ‘peach fuzz’. The practitioner gently runs the scalpel across the skin is a feathering stroke to scrape off the debris, leaving skin smoother and brighter, plus more receptive for additional topical serums.
The Obagi Signature Facial immediately rejuvenates and smooths the skin, removing dead skin cells and fine, vellus hair, to lessen the appearance of find lines and wrinkles and accelerate skin cell turnover for a freshened look. Using the Dermaplane in conjunction with the Obagi products allows for increased penetration of the topical solutions, increasing their effectiveness at hydrating the skin. Skin is left smooth and glowing, and with no downtime.
Immediately after treatment you can expect some redness and a feeling of tightness to the skin, this will subside within the first 24-48 hours.
The application of prescribed aftercare products may cause a slight tingling sensation for the first few days; this is entirely normal.
After treatment you will be advised not to touch, rub, scratch, scrub or pick at your newly cleansed skin as this could introduce infection and worst case could risk causing scarring.
You should not use any harsh cleansing or exfoliating products, including chemical peels, scrubs or waxing products in the days following treatment, or skincare products which contain retinol or other forms of vitamin A of alpha and beta hydroxy acids (AHAs/BHAs) as these could cause excessive redness. You will be advised on suitable aftercare products to use on your skin to optimise your results after your facial.
You will be advised to avoid sun exposure (including sun beds), if possible for 3 or 4 days, because the surface of your skin will be very sensitive to UV damage immediately after your treatment. You should wear a hat and a sunscreen of at least SPF30, reapplied often, when outside to reduce the risk of damage and pigmentation concerns post treatment. You should also avoid excessive heat from sources such as steam rooms and saunas for a minimum of three days post treatment.
Home use skincare products, including gentle cleansers, moisturises and topical serums will be recommended to optimise your results, and in some cases the Obagi Nu-Derm range can be prescribed by our nurse, Kerry, to suit your individual skin concerns.
The Obagi Signature Facial is not suitable for pregnant or breast-feeding women, those with non-controlled diabetes, cancer patients undergoing treatment and people taking blood thinning medication. If you have been taking Accutane (isotretinoin) in the past 12 months you will also be currently unsuitable for treatment.

Similarly, if you have used retinol-based products within the proceeding 5 days or have had a chemical peel within the last fortnight, you will be asked to delay treatment with the Obagi facial.
