Skin Care Products: All of your skin care products should be non-irritating and non-clogging for the first week or so after treatment.

Sunscreen: It is very important that you use sunscreen to prevent discoloration and sun damage to the skin while it is healing. Use sunscreen daily for at least 3 months after your last treatment. The sunscreen should offer broadband protection (UVA and UVB) and have a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or more. Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going outside and reapply sunscreen every 2 hours. If direct sun exposure is necessary, wear a hat and clothing that covers the treated area.
Abnormal Healing: If you notice any pimples, blisters, cuts, bruises, crusting/scabs, areas of raw skin, ulcerations, active bleeding, increased discomfort or pain, pigment changes (lighter or darker than usual complexion) or any other problems, please contact us as soon as possible.

You’ll want to cleanse your face gently immediately after dermaplaning. A gentle cleanser will remove any debris or residue left behind on the skin’s surface. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleansers, which can irritate the skin.
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.
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.
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 30 or higher and apply it every day, even if you’re just spending time indoors.
Avoid touching your face.
Avoid using harsh skincare products.
A sunburn sensation is often observed. if you feel particularly aware of the treated area, you can take over the counter paracetemol, ibuprofen or anti-inflammatories.
Clean the area twice a day to ensure no buildup of bacteria.
The area should be kept free of makeup, perfumes and lotions until fully healed.
Apply the scar repair cream provided to you once the scabs have fallen off only.
