Dermaplaning Pre & Post Care Instructions

PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

To ensure the best results and a smooth treatment, please follow these guidelines before your dermaplaning session:

  • Avoid sun exposure & tanning (including self-tanners) for at least 5-7 days before treatment.
  • Discontinue retinoids, exfoliants, AHAs/BHAs, and acne medications for 3-5 days before treatment.
  • Do not wax, shave, or use depilatory creams on the treatment area for at least 7 days before your session.
  • Stay hydrated and maintain a gentle skincare routine leading up to your appointment.
  • Let us know if you have a history of cold sores, acne breakouts, or sensitive skin.
  • Avoid Botox, fillers, or laser treatments for at least 2 weeks before your dermaplaning session.

POST-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Your skin will be extra sensitive after dermaplaning. Follow these steps to protect and enhance your results:

  • Avoid touching, rubbing, or exfoliating the skin for at least 24 hours.
  • No active skincare ingredients (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, or scrubs) for 3-5 days post-treatment.
  • Avoid excessive heat, sweating, saunas, and hot tubs for 24-48 hours to prevent irritation.
  • No makeup for at least 24 hours to allow the skin to breathe.
  • Use a gentle cleanser and hydrating moisturizer to soothe the skin.
  • Always apply SPF 30+ daily, as your skin will be more susceptible to sun damage.
  • Expect mild redness or sensitivity, which should subside within 24-48 hours.

When to Expect Results: Enjoy the glow! Your skin will feel softer, smoother, and more radiant immediately, with results lasting 3-4 weeks.

PROPER AFTERCARE IS CRUCIAL FOR HEALING AND OPTIMAL RESULTS. FOLLOW THESE STEPS.
