Dermaplaning Pre & Post Care

Prior To Appointment

  • Must not have new permanent makeup or injectables on or near the treatment area. Please ensure you have allowed at least 2 weeks since injectables or permanent makeup for the areas to heal and settle.

  • Use sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher daily. Excessively tanned or burned skin cannot be treated. Sun exposure must be avoided two weeks prior to treatment.

  • Avoid any irritants on and around the area, such as any products containing Hydroquinone, bleaching creams, Retin- A, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic/salicylic acids or astringents for at least two weeks prior to treatment.

  • Do not use self-tanning agents for at least two weeks before any treatment. If you have used these products, thoroughly cleanse the area with an abrasive/exfoliating scrub to remove all product two weeks prior to treatment.

  • Do not pluck or wax the area at least one week prior to Dermaplaning.

  • Do not use bleach or “Nair”-type products on the area for two weeks prior to treatment. This can cause irritation and burns to the skin.

After Care

  • ​Avoid picking, touching, exfoliating your skin.

  • ​Skip the heavy makeup and aggressive skin-care products for at least 2 weeks. Allow your pores to breath after a facial.

  • Clean makeup brushes before using to help avoid any post facial breakouts.

  • ​​Use a gentle, hydrating cleanser the rest of the week and skip any harsh astringents or peel pads.

  • Avoid gym and aggressive exercise for 24h, make your trip to the gym before your appointment to give your skin enough time to heal.

  • Increased heat can occur in the skin with sweating after facial treatment, causing irritation.

  • Avoid acne products and other at-home treatments (retinoids, home peels, AHA/BHAs, scrubs, enzymes) for the one week.

  • Stay out of the sun for a few days post facial and continue to wear sunscreen everyday while re-applying every 2h.

  • Postpone any wax or laser treatments on your face for 7 days.
