Post Dermaplaning Care
Following these instructions will maintain your results longer and help you avoid complications.
-
Use a gentle cleanser and cool, not hot, water. Do not use abrasive cleansers, washcloths, Clarisonic, or hot shower spray for the first 24-48 hours.
Do not use cleansers, serums or spot treatments containing retinol, salicylic acid or Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO) for 5 days following treatment.
-
Hydrating and brightening toners applied with a cotton round will penetrate deeper into the skin. If you are sensitive, try all products on a small area before applying to the full face.
-
Active ingredients in serums penetrate much better now, so you’ll see quicker results. Please do not use the alcohol or acid forms of Retin-A for 5 days pre and post dermaplaning.
-
Choose a hydrating moisturizer and apply twice daily. It’s common for skin to feel tight but dewy to the touch. This is good and will only last a short time. Moisturizer locks in skin’s hydration with the added absorption of its active ingredients.
-
Your skin is more vulnerable to UV rays after exfoliation. A mineral SPF is essential to protect your skin - even on cloudy days when UVA (aging) rays are present. Avoid sun exposure as much as possible. If you must be in the sun, apply and reapply a mineral SPF every 2 hours, wear a hat and seek shade.
-
Makeup can irritate skin after dermaplaning. Bacteria, alcohols, colorants and fragrance are all irritants that can cause contact dermatitis. Be sure to clean your makeup brushes, replace your sponges and apply clean (new) makeup to minimize risks.
-
Avoid exposure to excessive heat, heavy workouts, steam rooms and saunas for 24-48 hours post treatment.
Wait 7 days before having any facial waxing done. Waxing may be done prior to dermaplaning. The esthetician will only dermaplane up to the waxing border so as not to over stress your skin.

Common Questions About Dermaplaning
-
Dermaplaning is a professional exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair (peach fuzz) using a sterile, surgical-grade blade. This reveals a smoother, brighter complexion and allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively. It’s a safe, painless treatment performed in-office with no downtime.
-
Yes, when performed by a trained provider like Samantha Katz, BSN, RN, dermaplaning is gentle enough for most skin types, including sensitive skin. It uses no chemicals, making it a great option for clients who want physical exfoliation without irritation. We’ll assess your skin and tailor every step to your needs.
-
Dermaplaning is not painful. Most clients say it feels like a light brushing or tickling sensation. When done professionally, it does not cause breakouts. In fact, it can help reduce congestion by removing dead skin and debris. If you’re acne-prone, we’ll guide you on timing and follow-up care to prevent flare-ups.
-
No—this is a common myth. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) grows back at the same rate, color, and texture. Dermaplaning does not change the hair follicle, so there’s no risk of stubble or coarser regrowth.
-
Many clients schedule dermaplaning every 4–6 weeks as part of their routine skin maintenance. It’s also a popular pre-event treatment for glowing skin before weddings, photos, or vacations. We’ll help you build a cadence that fits your skin goals and lifestyle.
-
Absolutely. Dermaplaning pairs beautifully with services like chemical peels, microneedling, or LED therapy. It preps the skin to absorb active ingredients more deeply. At Skin Glow Collective, we often layer treatments for enhanced results, just ask during your consultation.
-
There’s no downtime. Your skin will look instantly brighter and feel incredibly smooth. You may notice slight redness right after the session, which typically fades within a few hours. Avoid direct sun, harsh products, or heavy sweating for 24–48 hours, and always apply SPF.
-
Dermaplaning is not recommended if you have inflamed acne, active cold sores, or certain skin conditions like rosacea flare-ups or eczema. If you’re unsure whether you’re a candidate, we’ll review your skin during a consultation and offer alternative options if needed.
