Dermaplaning, or ‘epidermal levelling’, is a fast, safe, non-invasive treatment which can improve many skin conditions.
Dermaplaning treatment is performed using a blade to gently exfoliate the skin. It removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, along with fine facial hair commonly known as ‘peach fuzz’ or vellus hair. The treatment removes the hair gently and safely without stimulating hair growth.
This exfoliating treatment is an great complement to chemical peels or microdermabrasion and is a good choice for anyone who has extremely sensitive skin, redness or rosacea. It immediately leaves the skin feeling smooth, supple and vibrant.
Perth Dermaplaning Treatment
Dermaplaning is safely performed using a sterile surgical blade. The blade is held against the skin at a 45-degree angle and is stroked gently along the skin to remove the outermost layers of dead cells.
A noticeable improvement is immediate with smoother texture and fresh skin appearance. Dermaplaning effectively:
- Improves skin texture
- Lightens uneven hyperpigmented skin for a more even skin tone
- Unblocks blackheads, making pores appear smaller
- Smooths acne scarring
- Boosts the effectiveness of skincare product absorption
At Assure, we recommend a monthly dermaplaning session, which includes the blading treatment and a light enzyme peel.

- Bleeding disorders or difficulty clotting
- Diabetes that is not under the control of medication or diet
