Hi Tania,
Well that will depend on how old the blade cut marks are. Fresh marks less than 6-12 weeks old can be removed with a skin procedure called Dermabrasion (not microdermabrasion which is different) or even be treated with multiple sessions of Fraxel Co2 laser. Old blade marks which are like small linear scars are much harder to treat and in my experience they need surgical removal followed by either Dermabrasion or the Fraxel laser for the surgical scars. Skin grafting is an older technique which can work as well but this may not match the surrounding skin color.
