Dermaplane
How It Works
Your aesthetician will use a sterile razor to remove the vellus hair from your skin, simultaneously exfoliating the top layer of skin to reveal fresh, smooth skin. Dermaplaning is a great addition to any facial to promote additional collagen production and to even out skin texture.
What It Treats
Dermaplaning exfoliates the top layer of skin while removing the vellus hair (peach fuzz) on your face to promote collagen production and reveal youthful skin.
Benefits
Reveal fresh and smooth skin while allowing for deeper product penetration for enhanced results.
How long does dermaplaning last?
3-4 weeks.
Postcare
1. Immediate Post-Service Care:
Avoid Sun Exposure: Shield your treated skin from direct sunlight for the first few days. If sun exposure is unavoidable, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
2. First 24 Hours:
Avoid Makeup: Refrain from applying makeup for the first 24 hours to allow the skin to breathe and heal.
Avoid Excessive Heat: Skip hot baths, saunas, and strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours to prevent excessive sweating and irritation.
3. Cleansing:
Use a Mild Cleanser: Cleanse your face with a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser. Avoid using abrasive scrubs or exfoliants during the initial recovery period.
4. Moisturization:
Apply a Soothing Moisturizer: Use a mild, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated. Avoid products with irritating ingredients like retinoids or strong acids.
5. Avoid Picking or Scratching:
Let Skin Heal Naturally: Refrain from picking at or scratching the treated area. Allow the skin to heal naturally to avoid irritation or infection.
6. Sun Protection:
Regular Sunscreen Application: Apply sunscreen generously every two hours, especially when exposed to the sun. Sunscreen is crucial to prevent post-treatment hyperpigmentation.
7. Hydration:
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to support the healing process and maintain skin hydration.
8. Avoid Harsh Products:
Skip Harsh Skincare Products: Avoid using products containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or other harsh ingredients until your skin has fully recovered.
9. Follow-Up Care:
Attend Follow-Up Appointments: If recommended by your skincare professional, attend follow-up appointments to assess the results and address any concerns.
10. Watch for Adverse Reactions:
Monitor for Allergic Reactions: Keep an eye out for signs of an allergic reaction, such as excessive redness, swelling, or persistent discomfort. If these occur, contact your skincare professional.
11. Long-Term Care:
Use Gentle Skincare: Incorporate mild and gentle skincare products into your routine even after your skin has fully recovered from dermaplaning.
12. Lifestyle Considerations:
Avoid Smoking: If possible, avoid smoking, as smoking can impair skin healing and increase the risk of complications.
13. Patience is Key:
Allow Time for Healing: Recognize that the full benefits of dermaplaning may take some time to become apparent. Be patient and follow your skincare professional's advice.
Note: Always adhere to the specific post-dermaplaning instructions provided by your skincare professional. If you experience severe discomfort, persistent redness, or any unexpected reactions, contact your skincare professional promptly.
Customize this aftercare protocol based on any specific recommendations or instructions provided by your skincare professional to ensure the best results for your individual skin type and the type of dermaplaning received.
