What to avoid after your dermaplaning facial:
Avoid heat treatments such as sun beds, saunas and sunbathing for 7 days following your treatment.
Avoid touching the face - Don't scratch or touch the newly treated skin. While it may be tempting to scratch or massage, doing so can easily clog open pores or cause bacteria build-up and infection.
Avoid applying make-up to the area, for the rest of the day.
Don't exfoliate immediately after - Exfoliating too soon after dermaplaning may irritate the vulnerable and sensitive newly treated skin. Wait 72 hours at least before your exfoliate your skin.
Don't use lotions that clog pores and cause breakouts, irritation, and bumps on the skin.
Don't apply fragrant lotions or perfumes to freshly treated skin, using perfumes or lotions with fragrance can irritate and clog pores.
Don't exercise or engage in heavy activity for about 48 hours after your treatment, you should avoid doing anything that causes friction or sweat build-up. Sweat can also clog pores and cause breakouts and inflammation. Furthermore, friction irritates the skin and can cause damage to vulnerable skin, making it vulnerable to infection.
Don't go to the beach/pool within 48 hours of a treatment, this may cause irritation. Water can also easily carry bacteria, chlorine, and sand, all of which can harm freshly treated skin.
Don't go for a Chemical Peel - allow at least 72 hours after a treatment. The skin's superficial layer of skin cells has been removed during your treatment, leaving the skin vulnerable. Going for a chemical peel within 72 hours of a treatment can cause your vulnerable skin to be damaged, overly dry, or infected.
