Because dermaplaning removes a layer of skin, it can leave your face more exposed. If your dermaplaning blade contains any bacteria or you have bacteria on your hands, you may be more likely to experience a breakout after your treatment.
Please understand that following a Dermaplaning Glow Facial Treatment, you may experience purging. Purging occurs when deep exfoliation treatments have been performed. During facials, impurities have been brought to the surface. Purging can occur in a few different ways once a DG has been performed.
It's also normal to have a breakout in the form of pimples or rashes after a facial treatment. It's the skin's external way to detoxify, ridding itself of toxins and impurities to reveal a more luminous skin.
Dermaplaning can be used for any skin type and anyone with: acne scars. dull skin. dry skin.
After your dermaplaning treatment, you need to follow a simple skincare routine for 2 weeks. Instead of using any harsh cleaning products, use a very mild cleanser to clean your face. Also, you should apply moisturizers as well as skin serums, especially those with hyaluronic acid, after the treatment.
Dermaplaning is safe for virtually everyone. However, you should avoid it if you have a tan, sunburn, active acne, a flaring rosacea breakout, or an inflammatory skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis, says Dr. Levin, as the procedure can worsen these issues.
Most patients should dermaplane about once a month for ideal results. Since the body naturally replaces skin cells each month, this ensures the old cells are removed and new, healthy skin cells are visible. In some cases, more or less frequent visits may be recommended based on the patient's specific needs.
Dermaplaning post-care:
Avoid products containing any exfoliating agents (retinoic acid, retinol, tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, astringents, etc.) for 24 hours after treatment.
After dermaplaning at home, your skin will be sensitive. Applying a good quality toner will help calm your skin down and minimize the risk of further irritation. We recommend the EltaMD Skin Recovery Toner for the best results. This oil-free and pH-balanced toner will help restore your skin barrier.
Right after dermaplaning is also a great time to apply a hydrating serum and moisturizer to give your skin and extra boost.
First, make sure to cleanse your face. But unlike facial shaving, skin needs to be completely dry and free of oils for dermaplaning. "The dryer your skin, the better the results," Benjamin says.
Dermablading aftercare. After you finish dermaplaning, treat any nicks by dabbing on a protective layer of Vaseline or Aquaphor.
As an at-home option, you can shave your upper lip hair (a.k.a dermaplaning), which removes the hair and gently exfoliates the skin for a smooth-looking complexion.
We recommend a sweet almond, apricot or jojoba oil to allow for blade to glide easier on the skin with less irritation.
Zeichner says it's necessary to “maintain skin hydration” after dermaplaning. It's the most immediate aftercare you should do after shaving your face in order to restore your skin and keep it moisturised and healthy. We highly recommend using our Squalane oil which is extremely nourishing, hydrating and anti-oxidant.
We recommend that you perform dermaplaning after a warm shower, as the skin is not only cleansed but is also soft and well prepared for exfoliation.
You would want to apply non-comedogenic, light moisturizers and SPF, as sun protection is extremely vital after dermaplaning.
Treatments can be incorporated with a mild chemical peel for a deeper exfoliation. This treatment is comparable to micro-dermabrasion; the difference is dermaplaning does not use suction or abrasive crystals which can cause broken capillaries and uneven texture.
AVOIDING SUNLIGHT AND SWEAT
Immediately following your treatment, it's important you don't stay in the sun for too long. Your pores will be open and sweating can cause them to reopen as they mend. This may interfere with your recovery process and allow bacteria to enter the punctures.
Any type of skin exfoliation, whether it's using a loofah sponge in the shower or a chemical peel, should follow a careful schedule. Exfoliating too aggressively or too often can leave your skin dry and irritated.
It's common to feel a little stubble as your hair starts growing back in after dermaplaning. This doesn't mean that your hair is thicker or more coarse. It has to do with the way each hair was cut straight across. The hair feels different to you, but it's the exact same texture and color as it was before dermaplaning.
