AFTERCARE TIPS
Here are some basic skincare habits you can incorporate immediately after a dermaplaning for longer-lasting effects.
What You Should DO After Dermaplaning.
1. Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser
Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleansers, which can irritate the skin.
2. Apply a hydrating serum or face oil
Dermaplaning can leave your skin feeling a bit dry and sensitive. To combat this, apply a hydrating serum or face oil to help nourish and protect the skin.
3. 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.
4. 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 50 or higher and apply it every day, even if you’re just spending time indoors.
5. 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.
6. Get some 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.
What You Should NOT DO After Dermaplaning

1. 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.
2. Avoid using retinol or glycolic acid for at least a week.
These ingredients can cause irritation and dryness, which isn’t ideal for sensitive skin.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Stay away from direct heat for up to 48 hours after your treatment.
Direct heat can include sunbeds, saunas, or hot spas. It is best to avoid suntanning on the beach right after a dermaplaning as well, as your skin is completely raw and vulnerable during this time and may not be well-protected against the sun’s harmful UV rays.
8. Don’t use harsh or abrasive cleansers and scrub brush on your face.
Harsh or abrasive cleansers and scrub brushes can irritate the skin and cause redness and swelling. Stick to gentle cleansers and your hands right after dermaplaning to help keep your skin healthy and happy.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Refrain from smoking or drinking alcohol for up to 72 hours after your treatment.
The smoke from cigarettes contains particles that can clog your pores, and after a dermaplaning your facial pores are almost always larger and can easily trap smoke particles. This can worsen your skin condition even if you have just had a treatment.

Similarly, alcohol contains compounds that can affect your skin and speed up the aging process. Stay clear of harmful substances after a facial treatment and the benefits of your facial will last longer.
