Pre & Post Treatment Care

A Dermaplane Facial is a safe, non-invasive exfoliation treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus ("peach fuzz") hair using a sterile surgical blade. The treatment leaves your skin smoother, brighter, and allows for better absorption of professional skincare products while creating the perfect canvas for flawless makeup application.

Following these instructions will help you achieve the best possible results while protecting your skin.

BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT

For 3–5 days before your appointment:

✓Keep your skin well hydrated.

✓Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily.

✓Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning.

✓Inform your therapist if you have recently started any prescription skincare or medications.

Stop using the following products for 3–5 days before treatment:

Retinol or Retinoids (Vitamin A)

Glycolic, Lactic or Salicylic Acids

Benzoyl Peroxide

Exfoliating scrubs

Home chemical peels

Strong Vitamin C serums if your skin is sensitive
