What Is Dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning at Midwest Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics is a simple, noninvasive technique that gently removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair (called "peach fuzz" or vellus hair) using a specialized surgical blade. By clearing away this layer of buildup, dermaplaning immediately reveals smoother, softer skin while creating a clean slate for skin care products and cosmetics. With regular treatments, dermaplaning can help maintain a brighter complexion while supporting healthier-looking skin over time. Our aesthetic specialists are proud to offer dermaplaning as a nonsurgical facial rejuvenation option for patients in the Orland Park and Frankfort, IL areas. Schedule your consultation with our team to learn more about our noninvasive skin care treatments.
How Is Dermaplaning Performed?
Dermaplaning is a comfortable, quick procedure that requires little to no downtime, making it an easy addition to almost any skin care routine. After cleansing your skin, one of our providers will use a sterile surgical blade to carefully scrape away dead skin cells and fine facial hair. There are no incisions made to the skin itself, and most patients find the experience to be gentle and relaxing. This process will be repeated several times until the exfoliation is finished. Once your dermaplaning treatment is complete, we'll cleanse your face again and apply specially selected products to help hydrate and protect your skin.
What Are the Benefits of Dermaplaning Facials?
Many people schedule dermaplaning before weddings, vacations, professional photos, or other special occasions because it creates an instantly refreshed appearance. It's equally popular as an ongoing maintenance treatment for those who want their skin to feel smoother throughout the year. With regular treatments at our Orland Park or Frankfort, IL locations, dermaplaning can help maintain a brighter complexion while supporting healthier-looking skin over time, offering benefits such as:
- Revealing smoother, softer skin
- Removing dead skin cells and surface buildup
- Eliminating fine facial hair for a more polished appearance
- Brightening dull-looking skin
- Creating a smoother canvas for makeup application and skin care products
- Softening rough skin texture

Frequently Asked Questions about Dermaplaning
How does dermaplaning exfoliate the skin?
Dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and other debris from the surface of the skin. At the same time, it also removes fine facial hair, leaving your complexion smoother, brighter, and better prepared for skin care products and makeup.
What are the benefits of dermaplaning?
Dermaplaning provides immediate exfoliation without chemicals or downtime, helping your skin look smoother, feel softer, and appear more radiant after just one treatment. It also creates a more even surface for makeup application and allows skin care products to penetrate more effectively, making it a popular choice for both routine maintenance and special occasions.
How often should dermaplaning be performed?
Most people schedule dermaplaning every 3 – 4 weeks, allowing enough time for the skin's natural renewal cycle. Your provider may recommend a different schedule based on your skin type, skin care routine, and aesthetic goals.
Can dermaplaning be combined with other services?
At Midwest Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics, we often pair dermaplaning with rejuvenating facials, hydrating treatments, chemical peels, and other nonsurgical skin care services to enhance our patients' results. Your provider will recommend a combination of treatments based on your skin's condition and your aesthetic goals.
What should I expect during a dermaplaning session?
Your provider will begin by cleansing your skin before gently passing a sterile surgical blade across the treatment area to remove dead skin cells and fine facial hair. Afterward, soothing skin care products and sunscreen are applied, and you can typically return to your normal activities immediately with little to no downtime.
