Dermaplaning Explained: Benefits, Procedure, and Aftercare Tips

At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, we understand the importance of healthy, radiant skin as part of your overall well-being. Our practice proudly offers dermaplaning, an innovative and gentle cosmetic dermatological procedure designed to exfoliate your skin, revealing a smoother and brighter complexion.

During your dermaplaning session, our highly trained skincare specialists carefully glide a sterile surgical scalpel across your skin’s surface at a precise angle. This gentle technique effectively removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair, often referred to as “peach fuzz,” uncovering the fresher, healthier skin beneath.

Dermaplaning is suitable for most skin types and provides immediate enhancement in your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. By clearing away excess buildup of dead cells and debris, dermaplaning significantly improves the absorption and effectiveness of your skincare products and allows for a more flawless makeup application.

Patients at Advanced Health of Oakbrook frequently choose dermaplaning to address various skin concerns, such as dullness, uneven skin tone, dryness, fine lines, and minor acne scars. This painless, minimally invasive procedure requires little to no downtime, making it an ideal option for those seeking quick and effective skin rejuvenation.

While dermaplaning is beneficial for many individuals, it may not be appropriate for everyone. Patients experiencing active acne breakouts, sensitive skin conditions, or other specific skin disorders are encouraged to consult with one of our experienced dermatology specialists before undergoing treatment. At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities, and all dermaplaning procedures are performed by knowledgeable, qualified professionals dedicated to delivering optimal skincare results.

Our skilled dermaplaning specialists offer dermaplaning. Understanding the dermaplaning process and proper aftercare can help you achieve the best possible results, leaving your skin brighter, smoother, and refreshed.

Before your dermaplaning session, you’ll meet with one of our experienced skincare specialists at Advanced Health of Oakbrook to discuss your skin concerns, personal goals, and any relevant medical history or medications you are currently taking. To ensure optimal comfort and results, we typically recommend the following guidelines before your treatment:

• Avoid exfoliating products, retinoids, or harsh skin treatments for several days before your appointment.

• Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning, as this can increase skin sensitivity and irritation.

• Arrive at your session with clean skin, free of makeup if possible.

Your comfort and care are our top priorities at Advanced Health of Oakbrook. During your dermaplaning procedure, our trained skincare professional will thoroughly cleanse and dry your skin before carefully gliding a sterile surgical blade at a precise angle and gentle pressure across your face. This gentle process painlessly removes the buildup of dead skin cells and fine facial hair. Most patients describe the sensation as mild scraping, and the procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour.

Post-Dermaplaning Care and Results

After dermaplaning, your skin may appear slightly pink or feel mildly sensitive. This is normal and usually subsides within a few hours. Your skincare specialist may apply a soothing serum, moisturizer, or sunscreen to calm and protect your skin immediately afterward.

To optimize your dermaplaning results and ensure proper healing, we recommend the following aftercare guidelines:

• Maintain gentle skincare practices, avoiding exfoliation, retinoids, or harsh cleansers for several days.

• Keep your skin well-hydrated

• Consistently apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin and prolong your refreshed appearance.

Within just a few days, you can expect to notice smoother, brighter, and more evenly toned skin. Additionally, makeup application often becomes easier and appears more flawless after dermaplaning. Typically, these results last for three to four weeks, and we recommend regular treatments to maintain your rejuvenated glow.

At Advanced Health of Oakbrook, we offer dermaplaning as part of our comprehensive skin care services designed to enhance your skin’s health and appearance. Dermaplaning is a gentle cosmetic skincare procedure that exfoliates the skin by removing dead cells and fine facial hair, often called “peach fuzz,” to reveal smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin. Patients at Advanced Health of Oakbrook typically enjoy results lasting approximately three to four weeks; however, results may vary depending on individual skin type, age, and personal skincare habits.

After your dermaplaning session, you will immediately notice smoother texture and a brighter complexion due to the removal of superficial dead skin cells and fine vellus hair. Over the following three to four weeks, facial hair will gradually regrow, and new dead skin cells will naturally accumulate, slowly diminishing the initial smoothness and glow.

We recommend maintaining a consistent skincare regimen—including regular exfoliation, moisturizing, and diligent sun protection—to extend the longevity of your dermaplaning results. In addition, scheduling regular dermaplaning sessions every three to four weeks at our practice will help maintain your refreshed appearance and keep your skin looking consistently radiant and healthy.
