• Avoid touching the treated area to prevent irritation and potential breakouts.
• Refrain from prolonged sun exposure for at least 3-5 days, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV damage.
• Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer the night of the treatment to keep the skin hydrated and soothed.
• Apply SPF daily, beginning immediately after treatment, to protect your skin and maintain results.
• Avoid using skincare products containing mechanical exfoliants (scrubs), alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) (e.g., glycolic, lactic, malic acid), beta hydroxy acid (BHA) (e.g., salicylic acid), benzoyl peroxide, retinoids (e.g., tretinoin, adapalene, retinol), hydroquinone or other bleaching agents, and alcohol-based products (e.g., isopropyl alcohol, denatured alcohol) for up to 5 days after treatment.

• Your skin will feel very soft and refreshed immediately after the facial.
• Some patients may experience mild redness, which typically subsides within a few hours.
• The skin may feel more sensitive than usual, especially when exposed to heat, sun, or active skincare ingredients. 
• If minor nicks occur during treatment, they should heal quickly but may feel slightly tender. Keep the area clean, avoid picking, and apply a gentle moisturizer to aid healing.

• Breakouts may occur as the newly exfoliated skin allows impurities to rise to the surface.
• The skin may be more sensitive to active ingredients mentioned above in “what to avoid”.

• The immediate effect of the dermaplane facial is a smoother, brighter, and more radiant complexion.
• Since this treatment removes vellus hair (peach fuzz) and the outermost dead skin cells, you will notice instant improvements in skin texture.
• Regular treatments will reduce buildup of dead skin over time, maintaining a healthy and glowing complexion.

• Follow a consistent skincare routine that includes a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF.
• Avoid harsh exfoliants and active ingredients for at least one week post-treatment.
• Keep skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a high-quality moisturizer.
• Schedule monthly dermaplaning treatments to prevent dead skin buildup and maintain long-term results.

While dermaplaning is a safe and effective treatment, you should contact the clinic immediately if you experience:

• Severe redness or irritation that does not improve after 24 hours.
• Unusual or persistent breakouts that do not resolve within a few days.
• Signs of infection, such as increased redness, warmth, pus, or fever.
