Dermaplaning is a facial that involves physical exfoliation using a specifically designed scalpel blade that removes dead skin cells and vellus hair from the surface of the face. This form of exfoliation immediately rejuvenates the skin. Dermaplaning allows professional treatments to penetrate much deeper into the skin, which increases the efficacy of your products. It results in better absorption of active ingredients in home skin care products. Dermaplaning can be highly effective in minimizing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars, while leaving skin smooth, supple, and vibrant.
Is Dermaplaning New?
It has been utilized in medical practices for over 40 years to prepare the skin for chemical peels and laser treatments. Dermaplaning also creates the perfect canvas for makeup application and is the go-to treatment to prepare the skin for high profile occasions. For best results, dermaplaning facials should be performed every 3-4 weeks The ideal client is one focused on anti-aging or looking for a smooth and flawless canvas for makeup application. This client is concerned about dull, dry skin, a sallow complexion, enlarged pores, fine lines, hyperpigmentation and perhaps acne scars.

After your treatment, follow a simple skincare routine.
For two weeks following your treatment, stick to a simple skincare routine. That means using a
gentle cleanser, hydrating serum or face oil, and sunscreen every day. Avoid any other
treatments or products that could irritate the skin.
Use SPF
It’s important to use sunscreen after dermaplaning since your skin will be more sensitive to the
sun’s harmful rays. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher and apply it every day, even if
you’re just spending time indoors.
Do not wear any makeup for 24 hours.
You’ll want to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after dermaplaning. This will give your
skin time to heal and recover from the treatment.
Avoid touching your face.
Touching your face can introduce bacteria to the skin and cause irritation. So, it’s best to avoid
touching your face as much as possible after dermaplaning.
Avoid using harsh skincare products.
Harsh skincare products, such as retinoids or glycolic acids, can irritate the skin after
dermaplaning. If you use these products, wait at least a day or two before using them again
after your treatment.
Avoid chlorine and swimming pools.
Chlorinated water can dry out and irritate the skin. So, it’s best to avoid swimming in pools or
other bodies of chlorinated water for at least 24 hours after dermaplaning. You can shower
normally after your treatment.
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated
Drinking plenty of water helps to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. This is especially
important after dermaplaning since your skin will be more prone to dryness.
Get plenty of rest and relaxation.
Taking some time to relax and de-stress can do wonders for your skin. Consider taking a
relaxing bath or reading a good book to help your skin recover from dermaplaning.
Don’t use retinol or glycolic acid.
You’ll want to avoid using retinol or glycolic acid for at least a week after dermaplaning. These
ingredients can cause irritation and dryness, which isn’t ideal for sensitive skin.
Don’t expose your skin to the sun.
It’s important to avoid direct sun exposure after dermaplaning. This can irritate the skin and
cause redness and swelling. If you must be in the sun, make sure to wear sunscreen with a high
SPF.
Don’t use hot water on your face.
Hot water can strip the natural oils from your skin, leaving it feeling dry and irritated. So, avoid
using hot water when cleansing your face or taking a shower. Steam rooms or saunas should
also be avoided for at least a day or two after dermaplaning.
Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleansers.
Harsh or abrasive cleansers can irritate the skin and cause redness and swelling. Stick to gentle
cleansers after dermaplaning to help keep your skin healthy and happy.
Don’t use a washcloth or scrub brush on your face.
Washcloths and scrub brushes can be too harsh for the skin after dermaplaning. Stick to using
your hands when cleansing your face to avoid any irritation.
Don’t pick or scratch your face.
Picking or scratching your face can damage the skin and lead to infection. So, it’s important to
resist the urge to pick or scratch at any dryness, redness, or irritation you may experience after
dermaplaning.
Don’t book other facial treatments for two weeks.
Other facial treatments, such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion, can irritate the skin after
dermaplaning. So, it’s best to wait at least two weeks before booking any other facial
treatments.
Do not engage in any strenuous physical activity.
Strenuous physical activity can cause excessive sweating, which can lead to irritation and
breakouts. So, it’s best to avoid working out or engaging in any other strenuous activity or
exercise for at least 24 hours after dermaplaning.
