01Overview

What is Epi-Blading?

Epi-blading, also known as dermaplaning, is a treatment modality designed to remove surface dead skin cell build up and fine vellus hair (fair hair that can’t be removed with laser).

The treatment is performed on clean, dry skin across the forehead, cheeks, chin and neck using a small sterile scalpel which runs gently across the skin. It is this exfoliation step within our Epi-blading facial that is the key benefit of the removal of dead skin cells and vellus hair. By removing dead skin cells and bacteria, the process of Epi-blading stimulates growth of collagen and elastin. As we age, cell turn over and elastin and collagen production reduces, contributing to lines and wrinkles. Regular Epi-blading treatments can help with skin health, as well as allowing for the possibility of a deeper penetration of skin care products and a smoother makeup application!

02Downtime or contraindications

Is there any downtime or contraindications?

Epi-blading is a non invasive treatment with typically minimal to no adverse effects that can be performed every 4-6 weeks. Epi-blading is contraindicated on any barrier impaired skin, active acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis and/or severe solar keratosis.

03Hair grow

Would my hair grow back darker, thicker and spikier?

No, and the reason being is because Epi-blading does not target hormonal hair. When any vellus hair is removed it grows back without change. By removing the hair at skin level they should return the exact same length and texture as they were before.

04Post-Treatment Care

Post-Treatment Care

As Epi-blading is a non-invasive treatment patients can typically return to normal activities straight away. You may notice your skin is a little red but this should go down after a few hours. If you do intend to go out in the sun after treatment we always recommend applying a sunscreen.
