Dermaplaning | Deep Exfoliation
The Whole Beauty Institute® offers a quick and noninvasive exfoliating treatment that removes inactive or dead skin cells. The treatment is known as dermaplaning. This helps new cells regenerate and come to the surface and removes the vellus hairs that create debris and oil, which can clog pores. It is a safe and simple procedure that is done in a comfortable and relaxing environment.
Cellulaze for Cellulite Reduction
Cellulaze is an FDA approved procedure that provides for a significant long term reduction in cellulite with a single treatment. Patients appreciate that the treatment can be carried out in the comfort and privacy of our Chicago and Winnetka offices under local anesthesia.

HealthGems No. 2 | Neuroplasticity
In my opinion, the realization that our nervous system is in a continuous process of self-renewal is one of the most important advances in medical knowledge of the last twenty five years. This renewal process is known as neuroplasticity.
Forma – Tighten Skin without Surgery
Forma is a non-surgical method that can tighten loose skin in the cheek, jowl, neck, and other body areas. In our opinion, the Forma technology offers an optimum combination of safety, comfort, and meaningful results.
DermaPlaning
DermaPlaning uses a special blade that is held at a 45 degree angle to the surface of the skin. The Whole Beauty® Institute clinician gently moves the blade along the contour of the face to exfoliate the skin. Depending on the severity, depth and sensitivity of the skin, appointments range from 15 to 60 minutes. The deeper the lines, and more severe the build-up on the skin, the more time is needed for an appropriate treatment.
Form Stable Implants
Form stable breast implants are newly available in the United States. Their shape is more like the natural breast, with greater fullness in the lower portions and less fullness in the upper portions, and this is an advantage for some breast shapes.
