Dermaplaning delivers immediate results after just one session, making it one of the most popular “event-ready” skin treatments in Edinburgh. Most clients notice visibly smoother skin, refined texture, and a natural glow that lasts 3–4 weeks, especially when paired with a tailored skincare routine.
