What to Expect after Dermaplaning

Understanding Your Skin’s Response to Dermaplaning

At Aesthetics at 51, I strive to ensure you have a comfortable and informed experience with each treatment. Dermaplaning is a gentle yet effective method for exfoliating the skin, and like any skincare procedure, it's essential to be aware of the natural responses your skin may have.

Typical Side Effects:

Slight Redness: Some clients may notice some redness immediately after dermaplaning. This is a normal reaction to the exfoliation process and typically fades quickly.

Sensitivity: Your skin may feel more sensitive than usual, which is common after removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz.

Dryness or Tightness: You might experience a feeling of tightness or dryness in the skin as the topmost layer has been exfoliated.

Duration of Side Effects:

These side effects are usually minimal and short-lived, often resolving within a few hours post-treatment. The skin’s rapid recovery is one of the many benefits of dermaplaning.

Aftercare Tips:

Hydrate your skin well after the treatment and use gentle, nourishing skincare products.

Avoid direct sun exposure for a few days, and apply sunscreen diligently.

Refrain from using abrasive skincare products or treatments for a short period post-treatment.

When to Seek Advice:

If you experience any unusual or prolonged side effects, please contact me. Addressing any concerns early is essential to ensure your skin remains healthy and radiant.

The Positive Outcome:

The benefits of dermaplaning, such as smoother skin, enhanced product absorption, and a brighter complexion, often outweigh the minor and temporary side effects. Rest assured, I am committed to providing a safe, comfortable, and rewarding dermaplaning experience, helping you achieve the beautiful, glowing skin you deserve.
