Our methods for a ‘glow’ treatment
Our combination of methods is carried out in two stages to ensure optimal and safe results. We use clinically proven techniques to ensure you feel at ease throughout the process.
Glow Scalpel (dermaplaning)
Using a fine, sterile scalpel, the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair is gently removed. This mechanical exfoliation is designed to create a smoother skin surface. We are sometimes asked about dermabrasion, but dermaplaning is a considerably gentler and more superficial exfoliation technique.
Deep-penetrating moisture injections
Immediately following the peel, a hyaluronic acid-based moisturising treatment is carried out. This stage aims to lock in moisture from within and strengthen the skin’s underlying structure. The entire procedure is then repeated after four weeks.
A clinic full of expertise
Undergoing aesthetic injection treatments requires trust in the person holding the scalpel and the syringe. At The Faculty, you will meet hand-picked, registered nurses and doctors with extensive clinical experience of skin and injection treatments. Our practice is underpinned by medical safety and open communication. We explain every step in detail so that you have the knowledge you need to feel fully informed.
Price for The Faculty Glow Up
The cost of The Faculty Glow Up includes two full treatment sessions. Both dermaplaning and hydrating injections are included in both visits, which take place four weeks apart. During your consultation, you will always be given an accurate and transparent quote.

The Faculty Glow Up combination price
from 10,500 SEKThe Faculty Glow Up combines the Glow Scalpell exfoliating treatment (dermaplaning) with the Profhilo deep-hydrating injection treatment. The scalpel gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair to reveal an instantly smooth, radiant complexion, whilst Profhilo works from within to firm, hydrate and improve the skin’s texture and elasticity over time.
Pre-treatment consultation
Your first step is always a consultation with one of our qualified injection nurses or skin specialists. During the consultation, you will receive objective information about what the treatment can achieve based on your unique skin type, as well as a review of any potential risks.
Following your visit, there is a statutory 48-hour reflection period for injection treatments. After that, you can take your time to decide whether you wish to give your consent.
The Faculty Glow Up
Step by step
To ensure you feel well prepared, we have a clear and reliable process, from consultation to follow-up.
Consultation
You will meet with our qualified staff for a medical assessment of your skin. Together, we will discuss whether The Faculty Glow Up is the right course of action for you. You will then have 48 hours to consider your options before the injections.
Before your treatment
Once the cooling-off period has passed, we will book you in. To minimise the risk of bruising, we recommend that you avoid taking blood-thinning medication (such as Ipren or Treo) and alcohol in the days leading up to your appointment.
The day of treatment
At the clinic, we begin the treatment with dermaplaning, where a sterile scalpel (Glow Scalpel) is gently glided over the skin to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair. The hydrating injections are then administered at strategic points.
After treatment
The peel requires no recovery time. However, the injections may cause small, localised swellings (similar to mosquito bites) at the injection sites. These usually subside within one to two days.
The second treatment session
To achieve optimal radiance and restore moisture to the tissue, the same procedure – dermaplaning and injections – is repeated exactly four weeks later.
Monitoring & results
The final results of the treatment can best be assessed 3–4 weeks after the second session. If necessary, we will book a follow-up appointment to ensure that your skin has responded well and that you feel comfortable.
Our specialists in skin care and injections
At The Faculty, the team consists exclusively of hand-picked, registered nurses and specialist doctors with extensive clinical experience. This high level of medical expertise is the foundation of your safety. We guide you through the entire treatment process with knowledge, precision and a non-judgemental approach.
Who can have dermaplaning?
To undergo aesthetic injection treatments, you must be aged 18 or over, in good health, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. Dermaplaning is generally suitable for most skin types that can tolerate mechanical exfoliation. However, the treatment will not be carried out if you have active acne, flaring rosacea or active infections in the treatment area. During your initial consultation, your medical history will be carefully assessed to ensure the procedure is safe and suitable for you.
Our clinics
At The Faculty, medical expertise meets a welcoming atmosphere. At Hangövägen 20, you will find our custom-built clinic, designed to meet strict clinical standards for hygiene and safety. For injection treatments and skincare, we welcome you to our walk-in clinic at Humlegårdsgatan 14 in Östermalm. Our practice is guided by a scientific approach and extensive experience, creating a safe and transparent treatment journey.
Payment guarantee and insurance
We take great care to ensure that you receive clear information about every aspect of your treatment and what is included in the price. For your complete peace of mind, you are always covered by patient insurance for injection treatments carried out by our qualified staff. If you wish to finance your Glow treatment, we also offer flexible and secure instalment payment options.
Frequently asked questions about dermaplaning
Frequently asked questions and answers about dermaplaning
What is dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a mechanical exfoliation treatment in which a sterile scalpel is gently glided over the skin to remove dead skin cells and fine hairs. Here at The Faculty in Stockholm, we combine this with hydrating injections as part of our Glow Up treatment.
Does a Glow Scalpel treatment hurt?
No, the scalpel peel itself is gentle and is often experienced as completely painless. During the subsequent injection treatment, you may feel a few small pricks, but it is over quickly and is well tolerated by most people.
Does dermaplaning make hair grow back darker?
No. Fine facial hair is not biologically affected by being shaved or scraped off at the surface. The hairs grow back at the same rate, colour and thickness as before.
How long does it take to recover afterwards?
No recovery time is required following the scalpel peel itself. However, the injections may cause slight localised swelling (similar to mosquito bites) at the injection sites. This usually subsides completely within one to two days.
What are the side effects and risks?
Side effects are rare but may include temporary redness and small bruises from the injections. As with any procedure that involves breaking the skin, there is a small risk of infection, which we will explain in detail during your consultation.
How soon will I see results?
The Glow Scalpel peel gives an instantly smoother complexion and a radiant glow. Hydration levels then gradually increase. The final result is best assessed 3–4 weeks after the second treatment session.
Does dermaplaning work for all skin types?
It is a suitable option for many people, but the treatment is not carried out on skin affected by inflamed acne, rosacea or active infections. We always assess your anatomical conditions during your consultation.
