01

Professional Foundations, Treatment Overview & Duty Of Care

This module introduces dermaplaning as a professional exfoliation treatment. Learners will understand what dermaplaning is, how it works on the skin, why it is classed as an advanced cosmetic treatment, and the professional responsibilities involved in delivering dermaplaning safely and ethically.

02

Skin Anatomy, Barrier Function & Exfoliation Science

This module explores the structure of the skin, the skin barrier, and how dermaplaning works as a controlled exfoliation treatment. Learners will understand which skin layers are affected, why barrier integrity matters, and how incorrect exfoliation increases risk.

This module focuses on the consultation process for dermaplaning, including identifying suitable clients, recognising contraindications, and managing risk. Learners will understand that consultation is a formal safety assessment and a key part of professional, ethical practice.

Dermaplaning Tools, Blade Safety & Treatment Parameters
