Soft. Smooth. Refreshed.
Healthy skin begins with consistent care. At Well Labs+ Medspa Royal Oak, we offer dermaplaning and facials in Royal Oak, MI to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and refresh your skin. Our facials use DermaSound technology to leave your skin complexion looking smoother, softer, and naturally radiant.
What It Treats:
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Dead skin buildup
- Peach fuzz (vellus hair)
- Rough or uneven texture
- Clogged pores and breakouts
- Dry, dehydrated skin
Treatment
We start by cleansing your skin. For dermaplaning, your provider gently glides a sterile surgical blade across the skin to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz. Your facial then exfoliates, hydrates and nourishes, tailored to your skin type and goals.
Results
Your skin feels smoother and looks brighter right away. Makeup goes on more evenly, and your skincare products absorb better.
Follow-Up
Most clients book every 4 to 6 weeks, in line with the skin's natural renewal cycle. Your provider can build a schedule that fits your skin and your calendar.
What to Expect
We’re here to guide you through the process, relieving what stress we can, communicating openly, and setting realistic expectations.
Our Facials in Royal Oak
What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning is a gentle exfoliation in which a trained provider uses a sterile surgical blade to lift away the top layer of dead skin cells along with fine peach fuzz. It is painless, takes about 30 minutes and has no downtime. Removing that layer lets light reflect more evenly off your skin, helps makeup sit smoothly and lets serums work better. And no, the hair does not grow back thicker or darker.
Pair Your Facial With
- Chemical peel: dermaplaning first lets the peel work more evenly.
- Microneedling: for acne scars and texture that need collagen-building treatment.
- CO2 laser resurfacing: facials keep skin glowing between resurfacing sessions.
Facial and Dermaplaning Aftercare
- Wear SPF 30 or higher; fresh skin is more sensitive to the sun.
- Skip retinol, exfoliating acids and scrubs for 2 to 3 days.
- Avoid saunas, hot yoga and heavy sweating for 24 hours.
- Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer.
- Book 2 to 3 days before an event, not the day of, if your skin is sensitive.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is dermaplaning?
A gentle exfoliation that uses a sterile surgical blade to remove dead skin cells and peach fuzz, leaving skin smoother and brighter.
Will my facial hair grow back thicker after dermaplaning?
No. Dermaplaning removes fine vellus hair, which grows back the same soft texture and color.
Does dermaplaning hurt?
No. Most clients feel only a light scraping sensation. It is one of the most relaxing treatments we offer.
Is there any downtime?
No. You can go back to your day right away. Some clients with sensitive skin have mild redness for a few hours.
Can I wear makeup after a facial or dermaplaning?
We suggest waiting until the next day to let your skin breathe and absorb your skincare.
How often should I get a facial or dermaplaning?
Every 4 to 6 weeks for most clients, which matches the skin’s natural renewal cycle.
Which facial is right for me?
It depends on your skin type and goals. Dermaplaning suits dull skin and peach fuzz, while a deep-cleansing facial suits clogged pores and breakouts. Your provider will recommend the best fit.
Who should not have dermaplaning?
Skip it if you have active acne breakouts, a rosacea flare, a sunburn, an open wound or cold sore, or have taken Accutane in the past 6 months.
Can I combine dermaplaning with a chemical peel?
Yes. Dermaplaning first removes dead skin so the peel works more evenly. Your provider will confirm it is right for your skin.
How soon before an event should I book?
For most clients, 2 to 3 days before gives the best glow. If it is your first treatment, book a week ahead.
