Dermaplaning in Sydenham, Lewisham
There is no downtime and no pain — most people say it feels like a gentle scrape. We finish with a hydrating serum and SPF, and we can combine it with a facial or a peel if you want to go further.
Dermaplaning uses a sterile blade to lift away the dead surface skin and the fine vellus hair that make-up clings to. The result is immediately smoother, brighter skin and foundation that sits like it never has before. Clients from Sydenham often book it the week before a wedding, party or holiday.

Dermaplaning in Sydenham — FAQs
Will the hair grow back thicker?
No. That is a myth — the hair is cut at the surface, not altered at the root, so it grows back exactly as it was.
How far is the salon from Sydenham?
About 0.9 miles — about 10 minutes by car. We are on Devonshire Road in Forest Hill, SE23, a few minutes' walk from Forest Hill station, which has direct trains from Sydenham. Appointments are by booking only, so there is never a wait when you arrive.
How long does dermaplaning take?
Around 30 to 45 minutes, including a cleanse beforehand and a serum and SPF afterwards.
Do you do home visits in Sydenham?
Yes, for many of our treatments — spray tanning, massage, waxing, lashes, manicures and pedicures and more. Travel to Sydenham is £10. Treatments that need the salon environment, such as microneedling, peels and injections, are salon-only.
How often can I have it?
Every three to four weeks is ideal, in line with your skin's natural renewal cycle.
Do you cover all of SE26?
Yes — every part of SE26, and the neighbouring areas of Forest Hill, Penge, Crystal Palace and Anerley. For home visits the travel fee is the same across the whole area.
Can I have dermaplaning before a spray tan?
Yes — in fact it helps, as the tan goes on more evenly over smooth skin. Leave a day or two between the two.
How do I book from Sydenham?
Book online at any time through our booking page, or call 07803 285619. Evening appointments are available most weekdays and we open on Sundays. Out-of-hours and festive-season bookings carry a small surcharge.
Who should not have dermaplaning?
Anyone with active acne, open wounds, eczema or rosacea in the area, or who has used isotretinoin recently. We will check at your appointment.
Do I need a patch test?
For lash extensions, tints, peels, BB Glow and a few other treatments, yes — at least 24 hours before your first appointment. Patch tests are free at the salon, and we can post a kit to Sydenham if that is easier.
