After Care + Results

  • Your esthetician will advise you on post-care procedures + recommend the best treatment plan catered to your unique skin’s needs. 
  • Immediately after your Dermaplaning treatment, do not use the sauna, swimming pool or suntanning beds. 
  • Try not to engage in heavy physical activity. 
  • Do not exfoliate, wax, shave or otherwise manipulate the treated area for at least 7 days following your treatment.

 

Day of your treatment: 

  • No lotion, make-up or topical cosmetics. 
  • You can wash your skin with a gentle cleanser. 
  • Use hyaluronic booster, lipidic moisturizer + sunscreen.
  • Your technician will advise you about any other products. 
  • You may experience itchiness after your treatment - this is normal as your freshly resurfaced skin is exposed to environmental aggressors.
