Exfoliation Treatment: Pick a Method
Microdermabrasion and Dermaplaning Suit Different Skin Goals
Clients in Arlington Heights book this service when skin feels rough, looks dull, or flakes around the nose. Makeup that sits on dry patches is another common sign. Both of our methods remove that top layer of dead skin cells.
Microdermabrasion and dermaplaning are both mechanical, so no acid does the work. Your provider looks at your texture and sensitivity, then picks the better match. You will hear why one method was chosen over the other.
Cold, dry Illinois winters often leave a buildup of flaky skin. Many clients first ask about exfoliation once the furnace season starts.
Exfoliation Treatment: Before You Come
Simple Prep Before Your Exfoliation Treatment
Good prep starts with telling us what is on your bathroom shelf. List any exfoliating products, retinoids, or prescriptions you use. Also mention recent sunburn, rashes, or breakouts on your face.
Your provider may ask you to pause certain products before the visit. Follow those directions so your skin is calm on the day you come in.
Our Arlington Heights hours run Monday – Friday 8:30 AM – 6:00 PM. Saturday visits run 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM. If you commute by train, the Metra station is a short walk from Evergreen Ave.
Exfoliation Treatment: Appointment Day
Dead Skin Cells Come Off in One Calm Appointment
Your visit begins with a gentle cleanse to lift oil and makeup. Then your provider applies microdermabrasion or dermaplaning across the areas you agreed on. Before each pass, your provider describes the sensation so nothing surprises you.
To finish, we apply soothing products chosen for freshly exfoliated skin. You get written aftercare steps before you head home, including which products to pause. Your provider also notes how your skin handled the session.
Humid Arlington Heights summers can trap sweat and oil against the skin. Clients who notice a heavy, clogged feel in July often book a session then. Your provider can adjust the method for warm-weather skin.
Exfoliation Treatment: After Your Visit
Your Skincare Absorbs Better on Freshly Exfoliated Skin
Once dead skin cells are gone, your face feels smoother to the touch. Serums and moisturizers can absorb better without that dull layer in the way. How smooth your skin feels differs for each client, and we check it together.
New surface skin is more exposed to the sun. Strong Arlington Heights summer UV makes daily sunscreen a must after this service.
Your provider will suggest when your next exfoliation treatment fits your routine. Skip scrubs and harsh products for the stretch your provider names. That next visit can also be booked on Harlem Avenue in Harwood Heights.
