Dermaplaning & Facial Planing
Dermaplaning in Peoria
Smooth, bright, photo-ready skin. We remove dull surface cells and fine vellus hair for a flawless makeup finish, with no downtime at all.
Quick Answer
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a physical exfoliation procedure in which we gently "shave" the skin's surface, removing the top-most layer of dead skin along with fine, vellus hair, better known as peach fuzz.
The treatment requires no downtime, and we recommend it monthly for the best results. It is an exceptional way to exfoliate and prepare your skin for a special event. If you are after a flawless makeup application, this is the treatment we recommend.
How Ours Differs Our Dermaglow uses non-invasive facial planing rather than a straight blade. Some call it dermaplaning, but technically it is gentler. Our DermaPeel does include traditional facial planing for clients whose skin we already know.Pricing

Most Popular
Dermaglow
An express facial treatment and one of our most popular, removing vellus hair from the face. It combines deep cleansing, LED lights and ultrasonic technology with non-invasive facial planing and a skin-brightening vitamin C treatment. The result leaves the skin completely gorgeous.
Existing Clients Only
DermaPeel
This treatment takes the skin to a new level and is only available to existing clients, because we need to know your skin before pushing it further. It includes deep cleansing with LED and ultrasonic technology, facial planing, nano-infused serums and a peel customized to your skin conditions. Removes vellus hair, helps with deep scarring and pigmentation, and balances dry or oily skin.
Who It's For
Perfect Before a Big Day
This is an exceptional treatment for exfoliation and prepping your skin for a special event. Brides, birthdays, reunions, or anywhere a camera will be pointed at you.
Once the fine hair is removed, makeup sits far more smoothly on the skin and takes on an almost airbrushed finish. It is equally good as a monthly maintenance facial, keeping the skin bright between other treatments.
Because the hair we remove is superficial vellus hair, it grows back at exactly the same rate and texture as before. There is no risk of it returning darker or thicker.

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
If your question isn't answered here, bring it to your appointment.
Will my hair grow back thicker or darker?
No. The hair we remove is superficial vellus hair, which grows back at exactly the same rate and texture as before the treatment. There is no risk of it returning darker or coarser.
Is dermaplaning painful?
Not at all. It is a gentle physical exfoliation. Most clients find it relaxing, and there is no burning or stinging involved.
Is there any downtime?
None. You can return to your normal day immediately, and apply makeup the same day if you want to.
How often should I have it done?
We recommend monthly for the best results. It works well as a standalone maintenance facial or as preparation before a special event.
What is the difference between Dermaglow and DermaPeel?
Dermaglow is our express treatment combining deep cleansing, LED, ultrasonic technology, facial planing and a vitamin C brightening treatment. DermaPeel goes further with nano-infused serums and a customized peel, and is only available to existing clients.
Why is DermaPeel only for existing clients?
We need to know your skin before pushing it to the next level. Starting with Dermaglow lets us assess how your skin responds, then we can build toward DermaPeel safely.
Do you use a straight blade?
Our Dermaglow uses non-invasive facial planing rather than a straight blade, which is why it is technically gentler than traditional dermaplaning. Our DermaPeel does include facial planing for clients whose skin we already know.
Is it good before a wedding or photoshoot?
It is one of the best treatments for it. Once the fine hair is removed, makeup sits far more smoothly and takes on an almost airbrushed finish. Book a week or so ahead of the event.
