How does dermaplaning work?
Dermaplaning, also known as epi-blading or epidermal levelling, involves gliding a small sterile blade over the skin at a 45 degree angle, exfoliating dead cells scarring, and other pollutants and debris on your skin’s surface to make way for new cells. This regeneration helps to achieve a brighter, more youthful look. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and is not painful.

- Keep skin free of makeup on the day of your treatment.
- If you have an active acne flare-up on the day of your treatment, you may need to reschedule to avoid further irritating the acne.
Following the treatment, it's important to limit sun exposure, as sun damage can reverse the effects of dermaplaning (epi-blading) and create blotchy pigmentation on your skin. You must protect your skin with sunscreen whenever you leave the house in the weeks following your treatment.
In addition:
- Always wear sunscreen, protective clothing such as a hat, and limit sun exposure.
- When cleansing, do not scrub and use a gentle cleanser.
- Do not peel, pick or scratch the treated area as this may result in scarring.
Following pre- and post-treatment care guidelines will help optimise your results. Your clinician will walk you through any contraindications or side-effects that might impact you. This is a low-risk procedure. Side effects may include:
- Slight redness in your face in the hours after getting the treatment.
- Some people develop whiteheads on their skin in the day or two after dermaplaning.
- Infection and scarring are rare, but they can occur. If you develop a scar, your doctor may need to treat the scar tissue with a steroid injection to soften the scar tissue.
- Another possible side effect is a patchy skin pigment in the area where you have the procedure, which may decrease or disappear as time goes on.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Dermaplaning (epi-blading/epidermal levelling) tool?
The Dermaplaning (epi-blading/epidermal levelling) tool is a small hand-held blade, similar to a scalpel or shaving blade, that glides across the skin at a 45 degree angle. It does not cut into the skin.
Can Dermaplaning (epi-blading/epidermal levelling) be done at home?
You can buy Dermaplaning (epi-blading/epidermal levelling) tools to use at home.

The risks and side effects of Dermaplaning (epi-blading/epidermal levelling) can be reduced by seeing a professional for your treatment.
Should I moisturise after Dermaplaning (epi-blading/epidermal levelling)?
Your skin is exfoliated during the Dermaplaning (epi-blading levelling) treatment so a hydrating mask or moisturiser applied afterwards can help nourish the skin. Our Skin Therapists can recommend the right moisturising product for you.
Does hair grow back after Dermaplaning (epi-blading/epidermal levelling) ?
Yes. The results of the treatment last for three to four weeks.
When will I see results of Dermaplaning (epi-blading/epidermal levelling)?
You are likely to notice the full results of Dermaplaning (epi-blading/epidermal levelling) within two or three days of your treatment, after the redness has subsided. Results typically last for three to four weeks and the treatment can be performed at regular intervals to maintain results.
