We offer dermaplaning in Portage, MI, because it’s one of the most effective ways to achieve an instantly refreshed complexion without downtime. With careful exfoliation, this treatment not only smooths your skin’s surface but helps skincare products penetrate more deeply. It’s our goal to help you feel confident in your skin every day.
We begin every series of dermaplaning sessions with a warm greeting from our friendly front desk team. They get you checked in and take photos for your patient records. Next, you meet with one of our providers who listens to your concerns, assesses your skin, then determines if dermaplaning is the right treatment for you.
During a dermaplaning session, your provider gently glides a medical-grade blade across the surface of your skin to remove dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz).
Following your session, you should notice immediate improvements in your skin’s texture and radiance. Your complexion looks brighter, feels smoother, and skincare products apply more evenly.
Inspirations is your starting point for real enhancement.
Yes, dermaplaning is safe for sensitive skin, but it’s important for a trained professional to perform this service. Our providers use a gentle, controlled technique to avoid irritation.
If you have more sensitive skin, your provider may recommend longer intervals between treatments or pairing dermaplaning with soothing skincare products from our shop. This minimizes the risk of irritation and redness.
No. Like most shaved hair, this is a common myth. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair, and when it grows back, it’s at the same rate, thickness, and texture as before. The only difference is that the hair grows back blunt. Some patients may feel this makes their hair slightly more noticeable, but it is temporary.
No, dermaplaning shouldn’t be painful. In fact, many of our patients find the treatment relaxing. During your session, you may feel a light scraping or brushing sensation, but it shouldn’t be sharp or uncomfortable.
Dermaplaning is noninvasive and one of the gentlest of treatments available. Many patients compare it to the feeling of shaving, only more precise and thorough.
Dermaplaning can enhance your skincare routine. By removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz, a single session can enhance how your skin absorbs products. Dermaplaning clears away the barrier that often prevents serums, moisturizers, and treatments from fully penetrating the surface of your skin.
It creates a smoother canvas, which not only makes skincare more impactful but also improves the way that makeup applies. You can enjoy a more flawless appearance without effort.
We do not recommend dermaplaning for patients experiencing active acne breakouts. This treatment involves gently gliding a medical-grade blade across the skin. It’s meant to exfoliate and remove peach fuzz, but if it passes over pimples or inflamed areas, it can irritate the skin, spread bacteria, and worsen the breakout.
That said, dermplaning can be very beneficial once active breakouts clear. It helps smooth the uneven texture left behind and allows skincare products to work more effectively.
We don’t recommend attempting dermaplaning without a professional performing the treatment. At-home tools are not medical-grade, and using them without training increases the risk of cuts, irritation, and spreading bacteria on the skin. Many over-the-counter blades also don’t remove dead skin and peach fuzz as effectively, so results are limited in comparison to in-office treatments.
Dermaplaning pairs beautifully with a number of our services, making it a versatile addition to your skincare routine. Many patients combine dermaplaning in Portage, MI, with chemical peels, microneedling, and custom clinical facials.
Based on your specific skin goals, your provider can recommend the best treatments to pair with dermaplaning.
