After

SPF should always be worn but is mandatory for at least 1 week following dermaplaning. 

No working out, sweating, or direct sun exposure for 24 hours.

Use only the products recommended by your esthetician for after care.

 

Redness, pinkness, tingling, and/or sensitivity can be a part of the healing process afterwards. These side effects tend to only last a few hours. Sometimes dryness can occur after a few days but is normal. Although unlikely, if you're prone to break outs, have sensitive skin, or are not used to professional skin care treatments it is possible dermaplaning may cause a few breakouts because the skin is trying to purge itself.
