Dermaplaning Facial

Smooth, Radiant Skin in Minutes

Reveal a fresh, glowing complexion with our professional dermaplaning treatment. This gentle exfoliation procedure removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz, leaving your skin silky smooth and naturally radiant.

What is Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a sterile surgical scalpel to gently scrape away the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair, commonly known as peach fuzz. The treatment is performed at a precise 45-degree angle across the surface of the skin, carefully removing buildup that can make your complexion look dull, rough, or uneven. By clearing away this layer, dermaplaning reveals the fresh, healthy skin underneath and creates a smoother canvas that allows skincare products and makeup to apply more evenly. It is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to instantly brighten your complexion.

If you are searching for a trusted dermaplaning facial in Chicago, Lily’s Spa Bar offers this treatment in a relaxing environment with the care and attention your skin deserves.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning offers a range of immediate and long term benefits for your skin. It is a quick, painless treatment that delivers visible results from the very first session. Here is what you can expect.

  • Removes the layer of dead cells and peach fuzz, leaving your skin feeling incredibly soft and smooth right after the session.
  • By clearing away dull surface buildup, dermaplaning reveals the fresh, luminous skin underneath for an immediate glow.
  • With the dead skin barrier removed, your serums, moisturizers, and treatments can penetrate deeper and deliver stronger results.
  • A smooth, fuzz free surface allows foundation and other cosmetics to glide on evenly without clinging to dry patches or fine hair.
  • Regular treatments help soften the look of fine lines and shallow wrinkles by encouraging healthy cell turnover.
  • The exfoliation process helps even out skin tone over time by removing discolored surface cells and promoting fresh skin growth.
  • The treatment is entirely physical, making it a great option for those who want to avoid chemical exfoliants, and there is virtually no recovery time needed.
  • Dermaplaning is gentle enough for normal, dry, and combination skin types and works well as a standalone treatment or in combination with other facials.

How Does the Dermaplaning Treatment Work?

Step 1: Skin Cleansing: Your session begins with a thorough cleanse to remove all makeup, oil, and impurities from the skin’s surface. This ensures the scalpel can glide smoothly and the exfoliation is even and effective.

Step 2: Skin Preparation: Your aesthetician gently dries the skin and holds it taut in small sections to prepare for the procedure. The skin needs to be completely dry for the scalpel to work with precision.

Step 3: The Dermaplaning Procedure: Using a sterile surgical scalpel, your aesthetician carefully glides the blade across your skin at a 45-degree angle. This removes the top layer of dead skin cells along with fine vellus hair. The strokes are light, controlled, and methodical, covering the forehead, cheeks, chin, nose, and upper lip area.

Step 4: Soothing and Hydration: Once the exfoliation is complete, a calming serum or hydrating mask is applied to nourish and soothe the freshly revealed skin. This step locks in moisture and helps your skin feel comfortable and refreshed.

Step 5: Sun Protection: The session wraps up with the application of a broad spectrum sunscreen to protect your newly exposed skin from UV damage. Your aesthetician will also walk you through aftercare tips to maintain your results.

What to Expect During Your Dermaplaning Session

Before the Treatment

You will arrive with a clean face, free of makeup and heavy skincare products. Your aesthetician will evaluate your skin and discuss any concerns or goals before starting the procedure. If you are new to Chicago dermaplane therapy, your aesthetician will walk you through the entire process so you feel comfortable and informed.

During the Treatment

The procedure is gentle, quiet, and relaxing. You will feel a light scraping sensation as the scalpel moves across your skin, but there is no pain involved. Most clients find the experience calming and even enjoy the sensation. A full session typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

 

After the Treatment

Your skin will look visibly brighter and feel noticeably smoother immediately after the treatment. There is no redness, swelling, or irritation for most clients, so you can continue with your day right away. Your aesthetician will apply a hydrating serum and sunscreen before you leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not at all. The treatment feels like a gentle scraping sensation across the skin. Most clients find it relaxing and comfortable throughout the entire session.

No, this is a common myth. Dermaplaning removes vellus hair, which is fine and soft by nature. It will grow back at the same thickness, color, and texture as before. The treatment does not change the structure of your hair follicles.

As a leading dermaplane spa bar in Chicago, we customize every session that typically lasts between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on whether it is performed as a standalone treatment or combined with another facial.

For best results, we recommend booking a session every 3 to 4 weeks. This aligns with your skin’s natural cell turnover cycle and ensures consistently smooth, bright results.

Dermaplaning is generally safe for sensitive skin, as it does not involve any chemicals or abrasive materials. However, if you have active skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, or inflamed acne, we recommend consulting with your aesthetician before booking.
