What Is Epi-Blading? The Skin Treatment You Probably Haven't Tried Yet
Darling, unless you're a peach, it's time to lose the fuzz. Epi-blading is one of Glow's standout skin treatments — and if you haven't heard of it yet, you're in for a good surprise. Here's everything you need to know about this non-invasive skin treatment that exfoliates, smooths, and leaves you genuinely glowing.
What Is Epi-Blading?
Epi-blading (sometimes called dermaplaning) is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses a sterile surgical-grade microblade to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin. In a single treatment, it removes:
- Dead skin cells that dull the complexion
- Vellus facial hair (the fine, light "peach fuzz" that sits on the surface of the skin)
The result? Skin that's visibly smoother, brighter, and more receptive to the skincare products you apply afterwards. It's painless, requires no downtime, and the results are immediate.
At Glow Beauty Space, the epi-blading treatment is a full experience — not just a blade and you're done. It includes a skin peel, blading, an exclusive oxygen cream to keep breakouts away, and a hydrating mask. Everything your skin needs in one appointment.
How Is Epi-Blading Different From Shaving?
This is the most common question — and it's a fair one. The difference comes down to technique, tool, and intention.
Shaving uses a regular razor at a rough angle, cutting hair bluntly and often irritating the skin. Epi-blading uses a sterile, single-use surgical microblade held at a precise 45-degree angle by a trained therapist. The motion is featherlight strokes across the skin — it removes the surface layer of dead cells along with the hair, rather than just cutting at the hair alone.
The outcome is dramatically different: skin is left smooth and glowing, not red or irritated.
What Does Epi-Blading Include at Glow?
At Glow Beauty Space, the epi-blading treatment includes:
- Skin Peel — to prep and resurface the skin before blading
- Epi-Blading — precise microblade exfoliation to remove dead skin and fine facial hair
- Exclusive Oxygen Cream — Glow's signature post-treatment product to keep breakouts at bay
- Hydrating Mask — to calm, soothe, and replenish the skin after treatment
No bolted-on extras, no hidden steps. This is a complete treatment.
Who Is Epi-Blading Good For?
Epi-blading is suitable for most skin types, and particularly beneficial for:
- Dull, flat skin that needs a reset
- Skin with congestion or texture
- Anyone wanting to improve product penetration from their skincare routine
- People preparing for an event (no downtime means you can treat your skin the week of a wedding, birthday, or photoshoot)
- Those who want a lighter alternative to more intensive resurfacing treatments
Not recommended for: Active acne breakouts, rosacea flare-ups, or skin that is currently sunburnt or sensitised. Your therapist will assess your skin at the appointment.
What Happens to the Hair Afterwards?
One of the biggest myths about epi-blading: that it will make your facial hair grow back thicker or darker. This is not true.
Vellus (peach fuzz) hair is fine and soft. Epi-blading cuts the hair at the surface — it doesn't affect the hair follicle, which means regrowth is exactly the same texture and colour as before. Hair typically grows back within 3–4 weeks, at which point you can repeat the treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does epi-blading hurt?
No. The treatment is completely painless. The microblade is so fine that most people barely feel it — it's often described as a light tickling sensation across the skin.
How often should I get epi-blading?
Every 3–4 weeks is ideal, which aligns with the skin's natural renewal cycle. Your therapist can advise based on your skin type and goals.
Will my facial hair grow back thicker after epi-blading?
No. Epi-blading removes vellus hair at the surface without affecting the follicle. Hair grows back at the same texture and colour as before.
Can epi-blading be combined with other treatments?
The Glow epi-blading treatment already includes a skin peel and hydrating mask as part of the service. Speak to your therapist about what else might complement your skin goals.
Is there any downtime after epi-blading?
None. Your skin may look slightly flushed immediately after, but this settles quickly. You can return to normal activities straight away — though you should avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF on the day of treatment.
