Dermaplaning looks simple from the outside, but working a surgical blade across a client's face is a skill that rewards serious, structured training: blade control, skin assessment, contraindications and professional protocols.
This Level 4 Award gives you dermaplaning with a regulated credential behind it, taught hands-on by educators who deliver the treatment commercially every week.
Precise, confident blade work: angles, pressure and technique that make the treatment safe and comfortable.
Which skin benefits from dermaplaning, which doesn't, and how to spot contraindications before they matter.
Supervised treatments on real clients under working-clinic conditions.
Where dermaplaning fits in a professional treatment menu, including how it pairs with facials and peels.
This award is for professionals who want one of the UK's most requested treatments on their menu with regulated training behind it, whether you're building your first treatment list or upgrading a short-course skill you already offer.
It's delivered through our London academy as part of our Skincare Learning Pathways, alongside the hands-on training and support that come with every MSTA programme.

Explore this pathway →Currently, you do not require a Level 4 qualification to professionally offer dermaplaning in the UK: with the right training, CPD certification and insurance, practitioners deliver it confidently without one. With that said, practitioners are increasingly choosing to invest in a Level 4 dermaplaning qualification to deepen their skin-assessment and combination-treatment skills, and to strengthen their standing with insurers and premium brands.
