Dermaplaning

A Gentle Exfoliation Treatment for Chicago and Winnetka

Dermaplaning at the Chicago area’s Whole Beauty^® Institute removes rough, dry and dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, known as the epidermis. This nonsurgical skin rejuvenation treatment can be performed in either small, precise areas or applied to larger regions, such as the full face. Exfoliation is accomplished with the use of a blade positioned at a 45-degree angle to the surface of the skin. Dead skin cells are gently removed from the epidermis to achieve a deep exfoliation. Dermaplaning also removes facial “peach fuzz,” which are technically know as “vellus hairs.” Each treatment encourages the growth of new, healthy skin cells, which reproduce at a rate of approximately two to four weeks. For ideal results and maintenance, treatments are scheduled between four to six weeks apart.

Ideal for Sensitive Skin

Dermaplaning does not involve the application of chemicals, so it is a wonderful exfoliation treatment for sensitive skin. The freshly cleaned skin is then prepared to receive healthy hydrating lotions that aid in the reproduction of the new cells. Treatments require no down time, and there are virtually no side effects to watch for.

Combine Dermaplaning with Other Facial Treatments for Advanced Results

The Whole Beauty^® Institutes combines dermaplaning with luxurious anti-aging aesthetic treatments for advanced benefits and results. Chemical peels can achieve a deeper penetration after an exfoliating session, and the chemical-free Enhanced Oxygen Facial infuses healthful serums into the skin. This provides important hydrating nutrients that help create more beautiful skin. Learn more about how various skin resurfacing treatments work to discover how they can complement each other.
