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
Dr. Simon Moradian is amazing! I had been considering chin liposuction for several years, but I am so happy that I finally went in for a consultation. Dr. Moradian and his team made me feel completely at ease, and they very professionally and kindly answered all my questions. I left the consultation ready to book the procedure. The procedure itself was a breeze, it took maybe an hour and half and we talked and listened to music the entire time. I left with minimal bruising and clear results day 1. The results just keep getting better, thank you Dr. Moradian!
Dr. Moradian is a caring and conscientious surgeon with world class results and Chicago is lucky to have him. Would recommend him to anybody
I had such an amazing experience with Dr. Simon Moradian at NSPS. From my first consultation, he was so warm, informative, and thoughtful, and I immediately felt comfortable with him. After talking to him, I pretty much knew right away that he was who I wanted to choose.Something he said that really stuck with me was that he doesn’t take the same approach with every nose, he looks at the individual person and tailors everything to their face and what they want. He listened to me while also being really thoughtful about what would look natural and suit me best.My results are honestly better than I imagined. My nose still looks like me, just better, which is exactly what I wanted. He is incredibly talented and the craftsmanship of his work really shows, but he also genuinely cares about his patients and is very communicative throughout the whole process.It’s scary trusting someone to change something so central to your face, and I’m just so grateful I chose him. I truly couldn’t be happier with my results and would recommend him to anyone considering rhinoplasty.
I chose Dr. Moradian for my abdominal liposuction, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From my very first consultation, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Moradian took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answer every question I had, and make sure I felt confident and informed every step of the way. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care for his patients immediately stood out.The procedure itself went incredibly smoothly, and throughout my recovery, Dr. Moradian and his team were consistently supportive, attentive, and reassuring. Every post-op appointment made me feel like I was in the best hands. He is incredibly detail-oriented and truly strives for the best possible outcome for each patient.Most importantly, I am beyond thrilled with my results. They exceeded my expectations and have given me so much more confidence. It’s clear that Dr. Moradian takes great pride in his work, and it absolutely shows in the quality of his results.If you’re considering any cosmetic procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Moradian. His expertise, compassion, attention to detail, and exceptional team make the entire experience outstanding. I am so grateful I trusted him with my procedure and would recommend him without hesitation.
I had such a pleasant experience with Dr. Simon and the whole team! He’s very knowledgeable, kind, and meticulous. He educated me on why I should or shouldn’t do certain procedures (example - I don’t love my neck but it’s due to my tongue placement and there’s no surgical procedure that can be done. I did joke that we should just remove my tongue). He was realistic and answered all my questions. I also had to text him a question and he answered while on vacation and was incredibly responsive and reassuring.Everything looks great and I’m so happy I went with Dr. Simon. Highly recommend.

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.
