🔧 A surgical-grade stainless steel dermaplaning handle built for professional service volume — precision-engineered by Swann-Morton of Sheffield and designed to perform consistently across every appointment.

The No. 3 fitment accepts over 15 blade sizes, including the #10R and #14 recommended for dermaplaning, so you can select the right blade geometry for each facial zone without swapping handles. The reverse-side graduation serves as a tactile angle reference, helping establish and maintain the correct stroke orientation — a real advantage when training new staff or sustaining consistency across back-to-back services. Surgical-grade stainless steel withstands autoclave and chemical sterilization protocols, and reusable construction reduces per-service tool cost compared to fully disposable instruments — a measurable efficiency gain at volume.

A strong addition to the dermaplaning rotation for practices running consecutive appointments and teams building repeatable technique.

• Wide Blade Compatibility: The No. 3 fitment accepts over 15 blade sizes, including #10R and #14 recommended for dermaplaning, giving the professional flexibility to choose the optimal blade geometry for different facial zones without changing handles.
• Sterilization-Ready Material: Surgical-grade stainless steel withstands autoclave and chemical sterilization protocols, supporting compliance with professional sanitation standards between clients.
• Consistent Stroke Technique: The reverse-side graduation provides a tactile reference for maintaining a repeatable handle angle across strokes, contributing to uniform exfoliation results.
• Durable, Long-Term Use: Reusable stainless steel construction resists corrosion and deformation over repeated service cycles, reducing per-service tool cost compared to fully disposable instruments.

Stainless Steel Construction: Surgical-grade stainless steel provides corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, and compatibility with standard autoclave and chemical sterilization protocols, ensuring the handle maintains its integrity and safety through repeated sanitization cycles.

Size 3 / Fitment No. 3 Blade Interface: The No. 3 fitment geometry accepts a broad range of surgical blade sizes (including #10R and #14 specified for dermaplaning), ensuring secure, wobble-free blade seating that is critical for controlled, uniform strokes across the client's skin.

Graduated Measurement Scale (Reverse Side): A calibrated graduation on the reverse of the handle provides a tactile and visual reference point, assisting the professional in maintaining consistent handle orientation and stroke angle during the dermaplaning service.

Swann-Morton Manufacturing Standard: Manufactured by Swann-Morton of Sheffield, England — a recognized producer of surgical-grade scalpel handles and blades — indicating adherence to precision engineering standards and CE marking for the European/international market.

1. Verify the handle is clean and has been sterilized since its last use.
2. Select the appropriate sterile single-use blade for the service — blade #10R or #14 is recommended for dermaplaning applications.
3. Using a blade-loading forceps or blade-removal tool (never bare fingers), slide the blade onto the No. 3 fitment until it seats securely and does not rock or shift.
4. Position the blade at a 45-degree angle to the client's skin surface, using the reverse-side graduation as a tactile orientation reference.
5. Using short, feathering strokes in the direction of hair growth, draw the blade across the treatment area to remove vellus hair and surface dead skin cells.
6. Work systematically through facial zones (forehead, cheeks, chin, upper lip), re-sectioning as needed for even coverage.
7. After the service, use a blade-removal tool to safely unload the blade from the handle; dispose of the used blade immediately in a sharps container.
8. Clean and sterilize the handle according to your facility's approved sterilization protocol before storing or using on the next client.

Technique and service integration notes

The No. 3 handle's reverse-side graduation is most useful as an angle guide for less experienced technicians — coaching newer staff to feel the graduation ridge against their thumb can help establish the 45-degree habit faster than visual correction alone. For back-to-back dermaplaning appointments, having a second sterilized handle staged and ready avoids service delays while the first completes its sterilization cycle. After dermaplaning, the skin's permeability is temporarily increased — this is a strong retail moment to introduce and apply a targeted leave-on serum, explaining to the client how freshly exfoliated skin allows topical products to absorb more effectively, supporting both service quality and product retail.
