Dermablading
Dermablading
At Ozmedica Skin Clinic in Malvern, dermablading is a gentle, manual exfoliation treatment that helps remove fine facial hair and built-up surface cells for smoother, more radiant-looking skin.
Using a sterile blade and precise technique, your clinician lightly glides over the skin to lift away peach fuzz and dull outer layers. This can help makeup sit more evenly and enhance the look of your natural glow in suitable patients, always following a thorough consultation.

How dermablading works at Ozmedica Skin Clinic
Dermablading, sometimes also referred to as dermaplaning, is a non-invasive treatment where a sterile, single-use blade is gently drawn across the skin at a precise angle. This helps to lift away fine vellus hair (often called “peach fuzz”) and the outermost layer of dead skin cells.
At Ozmedica Skin Clinic, dermablading is performed by trained clinicians as part of an overall skin plan. It may be recommended to help improve the appearance of:
- Dull or lacklustre skin that needs a refresh
- Fine facial hair that affects the way makeup sits
- Uneven surface texture and visible dry patches
- Build-up on the outer layers of the skin
Your appointment begins with a consultation and skin assessment so your clinician can confirm whether dermablading is suitable for you, or if an alternative treatment may be more appropriate.
Dermablading Glow Treatment
A classic dermablading session designed to help reveal a smoother, softer-feeling complexion in suitable patients.
- Includes a thorough cleanse and skin preparation
- Gently removes peach fuzz and surface build-up with a sterile blade
- Finished with calming and hydrating products selected by your clinician
Mild pinkness or a feeling of tightness can occur after treatment and usually settles over the hours that follow, depending on how your skin responds.
Dermablading with Hydration Focus
In some treatment plans, dermablading may be paired with hydrating products to further support the look and feel of the skin’s surface.
- Dermablading is followed by targeted serums or masks selected for your skin type
- Designed to leave the skin looking fresh and well-conditioned
- May be incorporated into a broader program of clinic and at-home care
Your clinician will advise which combinations are suitable for your skin and whether any additional treatments are recommended as part of your plan.
Maintenance Visits
For some patients, dermablading is used as a periodic maintenance treatment to help keep the skin looking smooth and prepped.
- Frequency is tailored based on your skin type and response over time
- Can be integrated alongside other clinic treatments where appropriate
- Always performed with fresh, single-use blades and strict hygiene protocols
Your clinician will discuss how often dermablading may be considered and whether it fits with any other treatments or skincare you are currently using.
Treatment plans, results and expectations
Dermablading is often chosen as a single-session refresh or incorporated into a regular skin program. How frequently it is recommended will depend on your skin’s needs, your goals and how you respond after treatment.
In suitable patients, dermablading may help the skin to appear:
- Smoother to the touch with less noticeable dry patches
- Brighter and more refreshed following removal of surface build-up
- Better prepped for makeup application and selected skincare products
Results and experiences vary from person to person, and no specific outcome can be guaranteed. Your clinician will review your progress over time and may suggest adjustments or complementary treatments to best support your overall skin plan.

Dermablading – common questions
Dermablading is a manual exfoliation treatment where a sterile blade is gently glided over the skin at a controlled angle. This helps remove fine vellus hair and the outermost layer of dead skin cells, aiming to leave the surface looking smoother and more radiant in suitable patients.
At Ozmedica Skin Clinic it is performed by trained clinicians under strict hygiene protocols and only after confirming your suitability during consultation.
The terms “dermablading” and “dermaplaning” are often used interchangeably to describe a similar manual exfoliation technique using a blade. Specific techniques, protocols and treatment plans can vary between clinics.
Your clinician will explain exactly how dermablading is performed at Ozmedica Skin Clinic and how it fits into your personalised skin plan.
Dermablading targets fine vellus hair, which generally grows back with a similar look and feel to how it was before treatment. It does not change the structure of the hair at the follicle level.
If you have concerns about hair growth patterns or specific hair or skin conditions, your clinician will discuss these with you during your consultation and may recommend alternative options where appropriate.
Many patients describe dermablading as a light scraping or brushing sensation on the skin. It is generally well tolerated, although individual comfort levels vary.
Your clinician will talk you through each step, monitor how you are feeling and can pause or adjust the technique if you need a break or feel uncomfortable at any point.
Downtime is usually minimal. Some patients notice temporary pinkness, mild tightness or increased sensitivity to skincare products immediately after treatment.
Your clinician will provide aftercare instructions, including how to protect your skin from the sun, which products to use or pause and when makeup and exercise can be resumed, based on your individual circumstances.
