What is Epidermal Levelling?

Epidermal levelling (or dermaplaning/epi-blading) is a non-invasive, painless clinical exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”). This procedure smooths skin texture, improves tone, enhances product absorption, and allows for flawless makeup application with no downtime.

What results can I expect?

Epidermal levelling safely removes fine vellus hair without causing it to grow back thicker or darker. As it is also removing the top layer of dead skin and fine hairs, the result is a smoother, glowing complexion.

What are the potential risks / side effects of this procedure?v

Risks and side effects from epidermal levelling are minor and may include small superficial cuts, mild redness, flushing, or irritation after the procedure, usually subsiding within a few hours to a day or two.

How do I prepare for the treatment?

To prepare for epidermal levelling, cease using active skincare—such as retinols, glycolic acids, and physical scrubs—at least 5 days prior. Avoid facial waxing, tanning, and hair removal for 2-4 weeks before treatment. Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face, and ensure your skin is not sunburnt or irritated.

What happens during treatment?

Epidermal levelling  is a painless, non-invasive treatment where a trained professional uses a sterile surgical blade to gently scrape away dead skin cells and fine “peach fuzz” (vellus hair) at a 45-degree angle. It leaves skin immediately smoother, brighter, and better prepared for product absorption.

What should I do after my treatment?

After an epidermal levelling treatment, focus on gentle hydration, strict sun protection (SPF 50+), and avoiding active ingredients (retinols, acids) or exfoliation for 3–7 days. Cleanse gently, avoid sweating/swimming for 24–48 hours, and allow your skin to heal.
