Dermaplaning In Chicago

We’ll get to know you and your skin type to formulate the best plan for your needs. We will examine your skin, discuss your medical history, and ask about your beauty goals.

To ensure the best results, taking a few steps before your appointment for this quick and easy procedure is important. Here are some guidelines to follow:

• Refrain from exfoliating your face for 5 days before the appointment.
• Do not wax the area for 2 weeks before the appointment.
• Avoid excessive sun exposure.

Please note that if you have an extreme breakout, we ask that you reschedule your appointment.

Dermaplaning is a straightforward procedure, usually completed in about half an hour. We start by cleansing your face to prepare the skin. Next, one of our skilled aestheticians will gently glide a scalpel across your skin, removing dead skin cells and the fine vellus hair from the top layer. After the treatment, we'll apply a hydrating moisturizer to soothe your skin, ensuring it remains smooth and radiant.

One of the benefits of dermaplaning is its minimal downtime. However, post-procedure care is essential for optimal results and ensuring your skin heals beautifully. Keep your skincare routine simple for the next few days. Opt for gentle cleansers and moisturizers, and avoid products with strong acids or retinoids.

Your newly exfoliated skin is more susceptible to UV damage. Make sunscreen your best friend, and wear it consistently when venturing outdoors. For the first few days, avoid excessive heat sources like saunas, hot tubs, or direct sun exposure to minimize the risk of irritation.

If you're a swimmer, waiting a week before diving into a chlorinated pool to avoid potential skin reactions is best.

Dermaplaning is gentle and safe for all skin types, even for sensitive skin. However, if you have recently broken out with acne, our medical staff recommends waiting for any blemishes to fade. Dermaplaning the skin while there is acne present can cause irritation or redness.

Dermaplaning yields almost immediate results. Smoother, firmer, and healthier skin, with fewer signs of aging and acne scars, are among the most common benefits of dermaplaning. You may also find you can apply makeup more effortlessly, and skincare products are more easily absorbed into the skin.

Many professionals recommend getting dermaplaning every 4-6 weeks, however, it may be longer if you have extremely sensitive skin.

As your youth and vibrancy develop on the outside, your confidence will radiate from within.
