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 cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr.Schierle, PA Monika , and their entire team!I recently had a Motiva Preserve breast augmentation, and from my very first consultation through recovery, the experience has been absolutely fantastic.What really sets this team apart is how genuinely they care about their patients. They take the time to listen to your concerns, understand your goals and inspiration, and help you make decisions based on what's best for your individual body. I never felt rushed or pressured, and I felt completely confident in my decision going into surgery.My recovery has been incredible! I was back at work the very next morning and fully functional by the following week. I'm now three weeks post-op and genuinely feel like I never even had the procedure! Of course, everyone's recovery is different, but mine has been better than I could have imagined.And the results? Exactly what I wanted! They truly listened to the look I was hoping to achieve and delivered results that feel completely natural and proportionate to my body.I cannot thank Dr. Schierle, Monika, and the entire team enough for their exceptional care, attention to detail, and kindness throughout this process. If you're considering a breast augmentation, I couldn't recommend them more highly!
Dr. Moradian is the best! My lower blepharoplasty results were natural looking and took years off my appearance. Dr. M. went above and beyond to expain the procedure in detail and addressed all of my concerns to ensure I was comfortabe with my decision to move forward with the surgery. His bedside manner is superb which really put me at ease. He always responded to my calls and texts the same day. He and his staff were nothing short of exceptional. I highly recommend him for any plastic surgery procedure you may be considering.
I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Schierle and his entire team! I couldn’t be happier with my experience and the results are absolute perfection.I’ve had a longstanding relationship with this office, but this was my first time on the other side as a patient, and it gave me an entirely new appreciation for the level of care they provide. From the initial consultation through post-op follow-up, everyone was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional.A special shoutout to Dr. Schierle, Monika and Kendall for being so thorough, patient, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain everything, answer all my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way.The entire office staff is amazing, and I truly cannot say enough good things about my experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Schierle and his team!
You know the saying, "when you know, you know"? Meet with Dr. Moradian, and you will know he is the only one to trust with your cosmetic needs. From the moment I met the staff at Northwestern Plastic Surgery, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Moradian is talented, compassionate, and honest. He gave me realistic expectations—which he far exceeded—alongside an incredible bedside manner. He checked in with me multiple times after my procedure and made me feel completely comfortable asking questions every step of the way. I received top-tier care before, during, and after my chin lipo! Bonus: he plays great EDM, which made the in-office procedure such a fun vibe.
I can’t emphasize enough how pleased i am with my breast reduction - it had truly been life changing. From the immediate relief of severe discomfort to use of “bralettes” to better fitting clothing. And Dr. Schierle made it possible with the aide benefit of a great bedside manner. Only regret is that indid not so this sooner!

Frequently Asked Questions
Does dermaplaning hurt?
Dermaplaning is generally considered a comfortable procedure that does not require anesthesia. Most individuals describe the sensation as a gentle scraping across the skin rather than pain.
Will dermaplaning make facial hair grow back thicker?
No, dermaplaning does not change the thickness, color, or growth rate of facial hair. The fine vellus hair, often called peach fuzz, grows back with the same texture it had before treatment.
Can dermaplaning be combined with other facial treatments?
Yes, dermaplaning is frequently paired with treatments such as chemical peels, hydrating facials, or advanced skincare therapies because removing surface debris may improve product absorption. Your provider can recommend the best combination based on your individual skin concerns.
