Epidermal Levelling - Dermaplaning Perth
Epidermal Levelling, also known as dermaplaning or epi-blading, is a very superficial, non-invasive and painless exfoliative procedure that has the extra benefit of removing the vellus (very fine) hair across the face. The combination of exfoliation and hair removal smooths the skin’s surface texture while enhancing the penetration of skin care products. Treatments can be received every 2 - 3 weeks.

Epidermal Levelling is suitable for most skin types. It may not suit clients with sensitive skin or skin conditions like Rosacea.
Epidermal Levelling is also an option for acne-prone skin if the acne is not active.
Epidermal Levelling has some contraindications, including:
• Diabetes
• Active acne
• Bleeding disorders
• Cold Sores/Herpes
• Keloid Scarring
• Certain medications, such as Roaccutane

The treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of the skin followed by an exfoliating cleanser and a solution to sterilize the skin.
The single-use blade is then methodically and gently moved across the skin at a 45° angle.
The treatment is then finished with the application of hydrating aftercare products and SPF.
The advanced treatment has the addition of the Acai Berry Peel followed by LED.
-
Epidermal Levelling has little to no downtime. Your skin may be slightly pink, tight or tingly straight after your treatment, but this will usually subside within a few hours.
Some clients may experience dryness for a few days following the treatment, and this is due to cellular turnover and is a good response.
-
Simply put, NO. It’s a myth that your facial hair will become either thicker or darker after Epidermal Levelling. It just isn’t possible for your hair to do this, as Epidermal Levelling is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment. The blade is held at a specific angle and moved across the skin with the hair growth, not against it like shaving.
The hair will grow back but won’t change colour or thickness.
