Dermaplane Aftercare Instructions

​

Glow protected. Skin respected. Results maximized.

​​​

 

Dermaplaning removes dead skin buildup and fine vellus hair (“peach fuzz”), leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and better able to absorb products. Because fresh skin has been revealed, proper aftercare is important to protect your results and prevent irritation.

 

 

What To Expect After Your Treatment

 

It is normal to experience:

• Mild pinkness or sensitivity for a few hours

• Increased softness and smoothness

• A brighter, more radiant complexion

• Temporary tightness or mild dryness

• Your skin may be more sensitive than usual for 24–72 hours.

•  

 

For The First 24–48 Hours: Please Avoid

 

🚫 Excessive heat or sweating

• Saunas

• Steam rooms

• Hot yoga

• Intense workouts

 

🚫 Harsh or active skincare ingredients

Avoid:

• Retinol / Retin-A

• Glycolic acid

• Salicylic acid

• Lactic acid

• Strong exfoliants

• Scrubs

• Benzoyl peroxide

 

🚫 Picking or over-touching the skin

Your fresh skin barrier needs time to settle.

 

🚫 Waxing or additional exfoliation

Allow your skin time to heal before adding other treatments.

 

 

Keep Your Skin Happy

 

✅ Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate

Drink plenty of water and use nourishing, hydrating skincare products.

 

✅ Use gentle skincare

Stick to gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and calming products for a few days.

 

✅ Wear SPF Daily (Very Important!)

Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun after dermaplaning. Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, even if it's cloudy.

 

✅ Moisturize generously

Keeping skin moisturized helps maintain your glow and supports healing.

 

 

Makeup Guidelines

 

If possible, allow your skin to breathe for the remainder of the day. If makeup is necessary, use clean brushes/sponges and lighter products when possible.

 

 

Breakouts After Dermaplaning?

 

Some clients may experience minor purging or tiny bumps if congestion was present beneath the skin. This is usually temporary. Avoid picking and continue gentle skincare.

 

 

Best Results

 

For ongoing smoothness and glow, dermaplaning is often recommended every 4–6 weeks, depending on your skin goals and sensitivity.
