Avoid Sun Exposure
One of the most important steps you can take before your appointment is to reduce sun exposure as much as possible. Dermaplaning cannot be performed on sunburned skin, since a sunburn can increase sensitivity, slow down the healing process, and cause unnecessary irritation. In the days and even weeks leading up to your visit, make sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, wear protective clothing or hats, seek shade whenever possible, and avoid extended outdoor activities during peak sunlight hours.
Pause Certain Skincare Products
To get the best results and minimize any potential risks, you need to stop using certain skincare products ahead of time. Avoid products that contain alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), beta hydroxy acids (BHA), retinol, and topical acids. These ingredients can increase skin sensitivity and the likelihood of adverse reactions during your dermaplaning session.
Skip Waxing and Other Hair Removal
Hair removal methods like waxing should be avoided before your dermaplaning appointment. Waxing can irritate the skin and compromise its barrier, making it more susceptible to redness or discomfort during the treatment. It’s best to allow your skin to rest and heal from any hair removal services before undergoing dermaplaning.
Prepare for Smoother Results
When you follow these preparation steps, you set the foundation for a successful dermaplaning experience. By protecting your skin and avoiding harsh products, you ensure the treatment can be performed safely and deliver maximum benefits, including improved texture and a brighter complexion.
