What Is Dermaplaning?
If you're looking for an effective skin rejuvenation treatment that can deliver powerful results without surgery, you might be interested in learning more about dermaplaning. Dermaplaning is an innovative cosmetic procedure and facial treatment that smooths the skin by stripping away dead skin cells and vellus facial hair (also known as peach fuzz) for a softer, more radiant complexion. Sometimes called dermablading, this procedure is performed with a careful scraping technique using a facial blade. Many of our patients at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery choose dermaplaning because of its ability to create softer, younger-looking skin with minimal time investment. To discover if dermaplaning is the right aesthetic solution for you, schedule an appointment at our practice in Chicago, IL and arrange a skin assessment with our friendly providers.
How Is Dermaplaning Performed?
Dermaplane treatments can be performed in either of our Chicago, IL med spa offices. After cleaning your skin, your provider will gently use the blade to scrape away the hair and dead cells on the surface of your skin. Your expected treatment time will depend on how large the treatment is. During your consultation, our team will let you know what you can expect, including how long your dermaplaning session may take.

Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
I can’t say enough, what a great experience I had with Dr. Simon Moradian. His work is outstanding, he is caring, patient and kind. I had an upper blepharoplasty, it was easy, painless and I was back to playing tennis is 9 days (don’t tell him). If you are debating, don’t, it is a good thing. Dr. Moradian is a great doctor to trust and be under his care. Hope you are as fortunate as I was.
Dr. Fine is simply amazing! I started this journey full of fear and uncertainty, and came out thrilled with the result. I never expected that my breasts would look better post mastectomy and reconstructive surgery, then my natural ones yet here I am, staring in the mirror every day with awe. I am super thankful to Dr. Fine and his team: wonderful Barbara, Monika and Kat and all the beautiful ladies who welcomed me with smile every time. 5 stars!
I had surgery on my chin and the results are amazing. Dr. Moradian made things easy and painless. I 10/10 would recommend to anyone near the Chicagoland area looking for a good plastic surgeon.
Absolutely the best experience at Northwestern! Rachel is truly AMAZING, and I’m incredibly grateful for her patience and expertise at every visit. She takes the time to carefully assess my needs and consistently delivers results that look beautifully natural. Her precision and technique are unmatched, and I’m forever thankful for the confidence she’s given me. Rachel’s knowledge and understanding of her craft are evident—she knows exactly what’s needed for the best results. What truly sets Rachel apart is her commitment to enhancing natural beauty with a personalized touch. She never pushes unnecessary treatments and always offers honest, thoughtful recommendations that highlight my best features. I can’t recommend Rachel enough!!
When my smartwatch started showing blood oxygen levels below 90%, I knew I needed to do something about my blocked nasal passages. What was holding me back was finding a specialist who had a similar view of the balance between form and function. I knew I needed to breathe better but I also needed reassurances that my nose would not look the worse for it. It was my lucky day when I walked through the doors of the NSPSMEDSPA and met with Dr. Shierle. He was calm, funny, honest, and supportive. He understood and had explanations for my symptoms and options for solutions. His reassurances based on experience were thoughtful and on point. His depth of knowledge was beyond impressive. September 2024, Dr. Shierle performed my septoplasty. It has been life altering. My oxygen levels are solidly above 95%. My sleep the best it’s been in memory. And although it might be because I’m no longer scrunching it up to get air, my nose looks its best ever. I would be remiss if I did not also thank the NSPSMEDSPA staff. Appointments, insurance and paperwork were all taken care expertly and with a smile. Thank you everyone.
