Dermaplaning is a popular skin care treatment that can help you achieve a smoother, brighter complexion. But before you book your appointment, there are a few things you should know to ensure the best results. To prepare for your dermaplaning service, it's important to book a consultation, discontinue any manual or chemical peels 3-5 days prior, avoid direct sun exposure for 5-7 days prior, and schedule facial hair removal 1-2 weeks before. Additionally, if your skin is even slightly burned, a beautician cannot work on any type of skin care treatment.
It's also important to avoid sun exposure in the week or two before your dermaplaning appointment. At least three to five days before the procedure, stop exfoliating completely. The dermaplaning process already takes exfoliation to the extreme, so extra abrasive topicals are not necessary. If you continue to use chemical and manual scrubs at home, you run the risk of excessive exfoliation and irritation.
Dermaplaning is not suitable for skin with active acne. If you had a large outbreak or just a small pimple or injury, it's time to reschedule your appointment. It may seem disappointing to wait for a new session, but this ensures that the process is safe and produces results for you. To protect your skin from sunburn and damage, use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 when you go outdoors during the day.
UV exposure will interfere with the results of your treatment. Finally, it's time to reorganize your appointments to prioritize dermaplaning. For one thing, if you are planning to undergo any cosmetic procedure, such as fillers or Botox, it's always best to wait at least 2 weeks before or after your dermaplaning appointment before considering any injectable. This also applies to facials, skin peels, and other procedures. When it comes time for your dermaplaning appointment, the first step is to wash your face with a mild cleanser to remove dirt or makeup from your face.
Starting with a clean canvas is crucial to a smooth and successful dermaplaning process. Your beautician will also use a mild toner to help close the pores so that no residue enters the pores during treatment. Your Dermaplane technician will then use a surgical blade at a 45-degree angle to remove peach fuzz and dead skin cells, so they will perform a deep skin exfoliation. Once skin has been exfoliated with your dermaplaning tool, it should be infused with antioxidants, hydration and protection as part of a healthy skin care regimen. When dermaplaning at home, keep your skin tight and moving up and down is the general rule of thumb. Dermaplaning also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and achieves a healthier, more radiant appearance.
If done right, the benefits of dermaplaning can revitalize and restore the glow of your skin. Before we get to the sequelae of the entire dermaplaning treatment, first is the preparation stage. Since dermaplaning also removes excess skin cells, schedule your waxing appointment at least two weeks before your skin care treatment to avoid any possible subsequent irritation. The last area of the face that is dermaplaned is the nose; this area of the face is done gently and delicately. This is done to remove loose skin cells and hair left over from the Dermaplaning treatment.
