Dermaplaning gives instant smoothness and glow — but aftercare matters just as much as the treatment itself ✨ Protect, hydrate, and let your skin shine!

✅ DO’s

* Do hydrate well. Well-hydrated skin tends to respond better and glow more afterward.

* Do wear SPF daily after treatment. Freshly exfoliated skin is more sun-sensitive,

* Do follow gentle skincare for 2–3 days. Use calming, hydrating products.

* Do expect smoother makeup application. Dermaplaning removes surface buildup and peach fuzz for a polished finish.

* Do keep your skin moisturized. Hydration helps maintain that healthy post-treatment glow.

* Do tell your esthetician if using retinoids, acne treatments, or exfoliating acids.

⸻

❌ DON’Ts

* Don’t use retinol, tretinoin, or strong acids 5-7 3 days before and after. These can make skin extra sensitive.

* Don’t exfoliate at home right after treatment. Your skin has already been exfoliated professionally.

* Don’t wax the treated area immediately before or after.

* Don’t spend prolonged time in direct sun afterward. Protect your fresh skin barrier.

* Don’t assume hair grows back darker or thicker. That’s a myth. Dermaplaning does not change hair color, thickness, or growth rate.

* Don’t book dermaplaning over active cystic acne or open lesions. It may spread irritation or bacteria.

Face Waxing vs Dermaplaning as a temporary hair removal? Dermaplaning is much more thorough when it comes to lifting dead skin off, along with removing the peach fuzz. It helps improve skin texture and hydration. Whereas, the primary goal of face waxing is to remove the facial hair. Although, it’s been said that waxing does exfoliate, it is not as detailed or as polishing as dermaplaning is.

Brow Maintenance Tip

Trust the process 😉

9 out of 10 clients: “My skin is sensitive”. Why I don’t succumb to those words and, as a skincare professional, make my own judgement. Not every flush is “sensitive skin.”

A little post-facial pinkness is often a sign of awakened circulation — especially after facial massage, lymphatic work, or stimulation meant to energize the tissue. The goal isn’t to leave skin irritated, but it is normal to see temporary rosiness as blood flow increases and the skin becomes more responsive.

This is often mistaken for sensitivity, when in many cases it’s simply healthy skin reacting to touch, warmth, and stimulation.

True sensitive skin is different. It tends to show a more immediate, disproportionate reaction — persistent burning, stinging, inflammation, or ongoing reactivity to ingredients or environmental triggers. That is much less common than people think.

Not every pink post-treatment complexion means your skin is “too sensitive” for facial massage or active care. Sometimes it means the tissue is awake, circulation is moving, and the skin is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do.

Understanding the difference between healthy response and true sensitivity helps us treat skin more accurately — and stop labeling normal skin behavior as a problem.

What is Dermaplaning?

A professional uses a sterile blade at 45-degree angle to thoroughly scrape away dead skin cells and peach fuzz.

Benefits:

Improved skin texture: smoother, more radiant complexion.
Better product absorption: allows skincare products to pe*****te deeper.
Flawless makeup application: smooth, even surface for makeup.
Hair Removal: removes vellus hair without causing it to grow back thicker or darker.

Side Effects: potential for temporary redness or skin sensitivity for a few minutes to a few hours (for some people).

Frequency: typically done every 3 to 4 weeks, as it takes about that long for the skin to complete its normal rejuvenation cycle.
