Dermaplaning Pre- & Post-Care Instructions

Before your treatment

Stop using Retin-A, tretinoin, glycolic acid, salicylic acid or any other cell turnover products one week before treatment.
Come to your appointment with a clean, makeup-free face.

Avoid exercise for 12 to 24 hours after the procedure. Otherwise, you may resume your daily activities or return to work immediately.
Mineral makeup can be applied after treatment. If you feel discomfort after applying makeup, remove it immediately.
Sunscreen will be applied to your skin before you leave. Protect your skin every day with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
Avoid direct sun exposure. Avoid all tanning, including tanning beds, during your course of treatments.
Use a gentle cleanser, a hydrating moisturizer and sunscreen.
Do not use alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, benzoyl peroxide or topical acne medications for 3 to 7 days after treatment. You may restart these products once all sensitivity has gone away.
You may restart prescription retinoid products (such as Retin-A, Renova, tretinoin, Avita or Alustra) and non-prescription retinoid products (such as adapalene, Avage or Differin) 7 days after your last treatment, or as instructed by your technician.
Do not wax, have electrolysis or use other hair removal methods for 4 weeks. When you start again, tell your technician that you recently had an exfoliating facial treatment.
Do not get Dysport, Botox or injectable fillers for two weeks after your exfoliating treatment.
