Immediate Aftercare (First 24 Hours)

1. Keep Your Skin Clean

For the first 24 hours, avoid washing your face. Dermaplaning removes the upper most layer of dead skin cells and disrupts the moisture barrier for 24 to 48 hours. After this period, gently cleanse your skin with a mild, non-exfoliating cleanser.

2. Avoid Sun Exposure

Sun exposure can increase your risk of irritation and pigmentation. Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for at least one week following your treatment. When outdoors, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to protect your newly exfoliated skin.

3. Skip Makeup

Refrain from applying makeup for at least 24 hours after your dermaplaning session. This allows your skin to breathe and recover from the treatment.

4. Do Not Touch Your Face

Avoid touching, rubbing, or scratching your face during the first 24 hours post-treatment. Your skin barrier can be easily compromised after treatment. The skin can be sensitive, and touching it can introduce bacteria, leading to irritation or breakouts.

Days 2-7: Continued Aftercare

It is important to follow your recommended skincare regimen to prevent sensitivities or irritation of the skin following treatment.

1. Gentle Cleansing

 After the initial 24 hours, cleanse your skin gently twice a day using Glymed+ Gentle Gel Cleanser. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing.

2. Hydration is Key

Apply Glymed+ Ultra Hydro Gel morning and night to keep your skin nourished an d prevent dryness. For added hydration, use Glymed+ Skin Recovery Mist before applying Ultra Hydro Gel. Use it any time you need a little pick me up.

3. Avoid Exfoliation

For at least one week post-treatment, avoid any exfoliating products or treatments, including scrubs, acids (AHAs, BHAs), and retinoids. Your skin is more sensitive after dermaplaning, and these products can lead to irritation.

4. Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Hydrated skin is key to maintaining a healthy, radiant complexion. For added hydration, use Glymed+ Skin Recovery Mist.

Weeks 1-4: Long-Term Care

1. Sun Protection

Continue applying Oil-Free Protective Moisturizer SPF 50 (SPF 30 or higher) daily, even if you’re indoors. This is vital for protecting your skin and preventing pigmentation issues.

2. Introduce Products Gradually

After one week, you can gradually reintroduce your regular skincare routine. Be cautious with stronger products and start with gentler formulations. Monitor how your skin reacts and adjust accordingly. You can continue utilizing your Glymed+ recommended aftercare regimen indefinitely to soothe and hydrate skin.

3. Avoid Hot Showers and Saunas

For at least 48 hours after your treatment, avoid hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms. These can irritate your skin. They can lead to inflammation and increased redness.

What to Expect After Dermaplaning

1. Possible Redness and Sensitivity

It’s normal to experience mild redness and sensitivity immediately after your treatment. This usually subsides within a few hours to a day. To minimize redness and sensitivity apply Glymed+ Comfort Cream for added Hydration and soothing.

2. Smooth Skin Texture

 After your skin has settled, you’ll notice a smoother, more radiant complexion. The removal of dead skin cells and vellus hair allows for better product absorption and improved makeup application.

3. Hydration and Care

 Continue to keep your skin hydrated and protected. Maintaining a good skincare routine will help prolong the benefits of your dermaplaning treatment.
