Why Dermaplaning Is the Perfect Addition to Your Skincare Routine

Dermaplaning is a highly effective cosmetic treatment designed to improve your skin’s texture, making it seem younger and smoother. To fully reap the benefits and avoid potential issues, it’s important to follow the optimal skincare routine timing as recommended by our skilled skincare specialist, Tristen Durkin.

Following the procedure, your skin becomes more receptive to products because of the elimination of the dead’s outer layer of skin cells and fine hair. This allows for better penetration of skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness. Therefore, it’s recommended to do your skincare routine after dermaplaning, not before.

• Use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser to remove any remaining debris from the dermaplaning process. Avoid physical scrubs or exfoliators that can irritate the skin.
• Apply a fragrance-free, oil-free moisturizer to soothe and hydrate the skin. Opt for gentle, hydrating products that contain calming ingredients such as aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, or ceramides.

Within 24-48 Hours

• Maintain your gentle cleansing routine to keep your skin clean and prevent bacterial buildup.
• Maintain hydration by reapplying moisturizer throughout the day as needed. Use a thicker moisturizer if your skin feels particularly dry.
• Allow at least 48 hours before applying any exfoliating products, peels, or scrubs to avoid additional irritation.
• Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least 30 SPF to shield your freshly exfoliated skin from sun exposure.

Beyond 48 Hours

• Once the skin has healed, gradually introduce products with active ingredients such as retinoids, vitamin C, or glycolic acid. However, avoid using harsh ingredients, such as retinol or other potent acids, immediately after the procedure to prevent irritation.
• Create a regular skincare regimen that involves cleansing and moisturizing.

Cautions:

• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive products on the skin after dermaplaning.
• If any irritation or discomfort occurs, discontinue the use of any skincare products and consult with Tristen Durkin or another healthcare professional at True Medical Aesthetics.
• Protect the skin from excessive sun exposure for several days after dermaplaning to minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation.

To maximize the benefits of your skincare regimen and the dermaplaning treatment, it’s best to do your skincare routine after the procedure. Always consult with our skilled providers to ensure you’re using the right products for your skin post-dermaplaning.

Dermaplaning can make your skin’s surface appear smoother, more youthful, and radiant. It is particularly effective at treating deep acne scarring and uneven skin texture. Furthermore, dermaplaning can enhance the effectiveness of your skincare routine, as the exfoliation allows for better absorption of skincare products.

While dermaplaning can provide immediate aesthetic benefits, it is important to note that these results are temporary and the treatment does not offer long-term improvements to skin health. Some of the immediate effects include revealing a brighter and smoother complexion and a temporary reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Although dermaplaning is generally safe, it does have potential side effects. These include skin irritation, redness, and increased susceptibility to sun damage. Shaved hair can also grow back thicker and darker, which may be undesirable for some individuals. Our experienced team ensures that all treatments, including dermaplaning, are performed maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and sterilization. They will discuss with you the potential benefits and risks before proceeding with the treatment. Our goal is to help you achieve the most desirable skin results.

Dermaplaning is one of the non-invasive procedures we offer to improve your skin’s appearance. This treatment can be particularly beneficial for those with small lines and wrinkles, moderate acne scars, dry or rough skin, or superficial hyperpigmentation, leading to improved texture, radiance, and more youthful-looking skin.

However, not all skin types are suitable for dermaplaning. If you have skin conditions such as active or severe acne, rosacea, or keratosis pilaris, this treatment could potentially exacerbate your condition. Dermaplaning also temporarily removes the skin’s protective outer layer, leaving it more vulnerable to irritation and potential breakouts. If you’ve ever had acne or any other skin conditions that make the skin prone to scarring, you’ll need to be extra cautious.

This non-invasive procedure deeply exfoliates the skin, encouraging cell turnover and boosting collagen production. The result is a noticeable reduction in acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. Through the improvement of skincare product absorption, this procedure is especially beneficial for clients targeting specific skin concerns such as dryness, acne, or hyperpigmentation.

As a professional, we understand that dermaplaning is not suitable for everyone. People with sensitive skin, active acne, sunburns, skin with open wounds or infections, or rosacea should avoid this treatment. This is why our team always conducts a thorough consultation before recommending dermaplaning or any other skincare treatment to ensure it’s suitable for the client’s skin type and condition.

When performed by a skilled and experienced professional, dermaplaning can be a highly beneficial skincare procedure. It can promote a radiant and youthful complexion, reduce the appearance of acne scars and wrinkles, enhance the effectiveness of skin care products, and provide a smoother base for makeup.
