📌 Aftercare & Skincare Tips
18. What to Expect After Dermaplaning?
Your skin will feel incredibly smooth and soft immediately after treatment. However, since dermaplaning removes the outermost layer of dead skin, your skin will also be more vulnerable to external elements. Expect:
✔ A fresh, radiant glow
✔ A slight increase in skin sensitivity for the next 24–48 hours
✔ Skin will need extra hydration and moisturizer for the next 3-5 days
✔ Better absorption of serums and moisturizers
✔ Smoother makeup application
19. Best Skincare Ingredients to Use After Dermaplaning
Post-treatment skincare should focus on hydration and barrier protection. I recommend looking for:
✔ Hyaluronic Acid – Deeply hydrates and plumps the skin.
✔ Ceramides – Strengthen and repair the skin barrier.
✔ Niacinamide – Calms redness and enhances skin resilience.
✔ Peptides – Encourage skin recovery and collagen production.
✔ Sunscreen (SPF 30+) – Protects your fresh skin from UV damage.
20. What to Do If You Experience Redness or Irritation After Dermaplaning
If your skin feels a little sensitive post-treatment, don’t worry—it’s normal! Here’s how to calm irritation:
✔ Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.
✔ Use cool compresses if you feel any warmth or tingling.
✔ Avoid direct sunlight and wear SPF daily.
✔ Skip strong exfoliants, acids, and retinol for at least 5–7 days.
✔ Keep your skincare routine simple and soothing.
21. Post-Treatment Care: How to Protect and Maintain Your Skin
To get the most out of your dermaplaning results, follow these aftercare tips:
✔ Stay Hydrated – Drink plenty of water to keep your skin glowing.
✔ Use a Gentle Cleanser – Stick to mild, hydrating formulas.
✔ Avoid Harsh Scrubs & Peels – Let your skin recover fully before using exfoliating products again.
✔ Apply Sunscreen Religiously – Freshly exfoliated skin is more prone to sun damage.
✔ Limit Makeup for 24 Hours – Give your skin time to breathe and settle.
22. What is the Best Skincare Routine After Dermaplaning?
For the next several days, keep things simple:
Morning Routine:
1️⃣ Cleanse with a gentle, hydrating face wash.
2️⃣ Apply hyaluronic acid or a lightweight moisturizer.
3️⃣ Finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen.
Evening Routine:
1️⃣ Cleanse with a mild cleanser.
2️⃣ Apply a hydrating serum or niacinamide for skin recovery.
3️⃣ Lock in moisture with a ceramide-rich moisturizer.
📍 My Personal Advice: If your skin feels extra dry after dermaplaning, consider using a sheet mask with hydrating ingredients like aloe vera or chamomile for a soothing boost.
