Epiblading, also known as dermaplaning or epidermal levelling, is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a precise surgical blade and gliding gel to gently remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the skin's surface. At All Saint Clinic Sydney, epiblading is offered as the Epiblading Refinement Facial and is performed exclusively by qualified Dermal Therapists. It is a non-invasive, low-downtime treatment suited to patients looking to improve skin texture, luminosity and the absorption of professional skincare products.

Epiblading and dermaplaning refer to the same treatment, involving the use of a surgical blade to gently exfoliate the skin's surface and remove fine vellus hair. At All Saint Clinic, this treatment is performed as the Epiblading Refinement Facial within a clinical setting by our experienced Dermal Therapists, offering a personalised and considered approach to skin exfoliation in Sydney.

Many patients incorporate the Epiblading Refinement Facial into a regular skin maintenance routine to support smoother, more refined-looking skin and enhanced absorption of professional skincare. Whether it is appropriate for you depends on your individual skin concerns and goals, which our Dermal Therapists will discuss with you at consultation.

The Epiblading Refinement Facial is generally considered a comfortable, non-invasive treatment. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure. Your Dermal Therapist will guide you through what to expect before your treatment begins.

The Epiblading Refinement Facial may help improve the appearance of skin texture and tone, support the removal of fine facial hair and surface buildup, and enhance the absorption of skincare products and serums. It is a popular low-downtime choice for patients seeking a more luminous, smoother and refined complexion as part of an ongoing skin maintenance approach.

Treatment frequency depends on your individual skin concerns and goals. Many patients incorporate the Epiblading Refinement Facial into their regular skin maintenance routine, often alongside other in-clinic treatments. Your Dermal Therapist will recommend a suitable schedule during your consultation at All Saint Clinic.

The Epiblading Refinement Facial is a low-downtime treatment. Some patients may experience mild temporary redness or sensitivity immediately following the procedure, which typically settles quickly. Most patients are comfortable returning to their normal routine the same day. Your Dermal Therapist will provide tailored aftercare guidance following your treatment.

Epiblading may be suitable for a range of skin types including those with sensitivity, however individual suitability is always assessed by your Dermal Therapist at consultation prior to treatment. Your Dermal Therapist will take a thorough skin history and tailor the treatment approach to your specific skin needs and concerns.

Yes. The Epiblading Refinement Facial is commonly chosen by patients looking to address dull, dry or dehydrated-looking skin. By removing dead skin cells and surface buildup, the treatment supports a more luminous and hydrated appearance and enhances the effectiveness of professional skincare applied to the skin. Your Dermal Therapist may also recommend skincare to support dehydrated or dull skin as part of your broader treatment plan.

No. Epiblading removes fine vellus hair from the skin's surface but does not alter the hair follicle or affect hair growth patterns. The hair will grow back at its natural rate and texture. Any initial regrowth may feel slightly different due to the blunt edge left after the treatment, however it will not grow back thicker or darker. This is one of the most common concerns patients have before their first Epiblading Refinement Facial and our Dermal Therapists are happy to address it fully at consultation.

The results of the Epiblading Refinement Facial typically last around three to four weeks, depending on your individual skin cycle and rate of cell turnover. Many patients choose to schedule treatments every four to six weeks as part of a regular skin maintenance routine to maintain a consistently smooth, refined and luminous complexion

Epiblading is generally considered a safe, non-invasive treatment and is often chosen by patients during pregnancy as an alternative to treatments that are not recommended during this time. However, individual suitability is always assessed by your Dermal Therapist at consultation. We recommend informing your Dermal Therapist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding prior to your treatment.

Yes. The Epiblading Refinement Facial is a popular choice as a pre-event skin treatment. With minimal downtime and immediate visible improvement to skin texture and luminosity, it is an ideal treatment to schedule before a special occasion, photoshoot or event. For best results, we recommend allowing at least 48 hours between your treatment and the event to allow any mild redness or sensitivity to fully settle.

Epiblading may assist with the appearance of mild surface-level textural irregularities and post-inflammatory marks by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and supporting skin renewal. However for more significant acne scarring, your Dermal Therapist may recommend a combination approach involving treatments such as Skin Needling or RF Microneedling. Individual suitability is always discussed at consultation.

Yes. The Epiblading Refinement Facial works well alongside other in-clinic skin treatments and professional skincare. Because it removes the surface layer of dead skin cells, it enhances the absorption and effectiveness of treatments and serums applied during or after the procedure. Your Dermal Therapist will advise on the most appropriate combination approach based on your skin concerns and goals at consultation.
