CARE GUIDELINES

Dermaplaning Care Guide

Dermaplaning delivers immediate smoothness with no downtime, but because it removes the skin's outer layer, a few aftercare steps help protect your newly exfoliated skin.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why Aftercare Matters for Your Results

Because Dermaplaning removes dead skin and fine hair from the surface, your skin is more sun-sensitive immediately afterward. Sun protection and gentle products help maintain your smooth results.
