More and more patients are discovering the benefits of dermaplaning, a painless procedure that removes dead skin cells and vellus hairs (“peach fuzz”) from your face. The procedure can be done in less than 30 minutes, which makes it easy to fit into a busy schedule. Best of all, there is no recovery involved.

During the dermaplane procedure, our licensed aesthetician stretches your skin tight before using a sterile modified scalpel to remove dead skin cells and thin hairs. The blade is gently swept upwards across your cheeks, chin, forehead, nose, and neck. Our Farmington Hills dermaplane aesthetician has the necessary training to do this procedure, making it safe and effective.

After the dermaplaning procedure, many of our patients notice that topical products are allowed to deeply penetrate skin. Even makeup should go on smoother now that there are no dead skin cells or thin hairs left to interfere. You may notice an improvement in your complexion when peach fuzz isn’t allowed to trap oils on your skin. To maintain the effects of this facial hair removal treatment, you’ll need dermaplaning once a month.

We offer three levels of Dermaplane
Dermaplane Express, Dermaplane Pro & Dermaplane Ultimate

Dermaplane Express is a 30 minute treatment that consists of first cleansing the skin to remove makeup. When skin is clean, we begin the dermaplaning procedure. When this is complete, our aesthetician will apply a pineapple-papaya enzyme peel to further clean and resurface. To finish, she’ll select a serum based on your specific skin-type and apply an SPF to hydrate and protect.

Dermaplane Pro is a 45 minute treatment that consists of the same steps as the Dermaplane Express, but includes a customized facial. Our aesthetician will dermaplane as usual, but will follow up with one of our Image Specialty Facials. She will take into consideration your specific skincare concerns and choose the best facial treatment for you. All of our Image facials are packed with potent active ingredients to treat different concerns — smoothing lines/wrinkles, treat and heal acne lesions, hydrating and brightening. Combining these treatments allows for deep penetration of the products, and an overall enhanced result. Again, a serum and SPF will be applied to protect and hydrate. More specific information on the Image Skincare Facials available can be found on the IMAGE Skincare Facials page.

Dermaplane Ultimate is a 60 minute procedure, and the most intensive of the three. It consists of a dermaplane treatment as outlined above, followed by a HydraFacial treatment. The HydraFacial uses vortex fusion technology to extract impurities with gentle suction, while simultaneously infusing a blend of antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid. Active ingredients are able to penetrate more deeply and effectively. Skin is left clean, plump and radiant. More information on the HydraFacial procedure can be found on our HydraFacial page.
