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.

Dermaplaning is a simple, quick procedure, typically completed in about 30 minutes. It begins with cleansing your face to prepare the skin. One of our skilled aestheticians then gently glides a scalpel across the skin, removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair from the top layer. After the treatment, a hydrating moisturizer is applied to soothe and nourish your skin, leaving it smooth and radiant.

Once your skin is clean and dry, it will be held taut while the scalpel exfoliates using short, precise strokes. The process takes just a few minutes, and you'll see immediate results.

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 offers immediate results, leaving your skin smoother, firmer, and healthier, with fewer signs of aging and reduced acne scars. It also enhances makeup application and improves the absorption of skincare products.

Many professionals recommend dermaplaning every 4-6 weeks, though those with extremely sensitive skin may need to extend this interval. As your skin's vibrancy improves, so will your confidence.
