Course Description
Step into the world of advanced skincare with our Level 4 Certificate in Dermaplaning—a comprehensive course designed for professionals ready to elevate their skills and offer one of the most in-demand treatments in the industry.
This qualification provides you with detailed knowledge of Anatomy & Physiology, advanced consultation methods, and expert skin assessment techniques to ensure safe, tailored, and effective treatments for every client.
​
Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive procedure that uses a sterile medical scalpel to manually exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz). The result? Instantly smoother, softer, and brighter skin with zero downtime. It’s a painless treatment that not only refines skin texture but also increases cellular turnover and significantly improves the absorption of skincare products, allowing them to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively.
​
Ideal as a standalone facial or an add-on to other advanced treatments, dermaplaning enhances results while calming and refreshing the skin. It’s important to note that dermaplaning does not make hair grow back thicker or darker—if it did, we’d all be shaving our eyebrows for extra volume!
​
Whether you're looking to expand your treatment menu or specialise in advanced facial therapy, this Level 4 qualification gives you the confidence and skills to deliver professional, high-impact results your clients will love.
Students will be guided through practical elements before completing at home case studies and workbook completion, culminating in assessment sessions to demonstrate learning.
This qualification offers a worldwide recognised qualification which can be applied to many industries and work based settings.
We offer this qualification through Focus Awards, an OfQual Regulated Awarding Body. This is a nationally recognised qualification.
