Dermaplane Facial Pre & Post Care
How to Prepare, Protect Your Skin Barrier, and Maintain Results
Dermaplaning delivers immediate visible results—but those results are best preserved when the skin is properly prepared and supported before and after treatment.
Because dermaplaning removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, pre- and post-care are essential to maintaining barrier health, comfort, and glow.
At Denver Dream Medspa, dermaplaning care protocols are designed to support the skin—never stress it.
Why Pre & Post Care Matters
The skin barrier is your skin’s first line of defense. When exfoliation is performed thoughtfully, the barrier remains intact and responsive. When care is rushed or layered incorrectly, irritation can occur.
Proper care:
Protects against sensitivity
Maintains hydration
Extends results
Prevents over-exfoliation
Before Your Dermaplane Facial
Preparing the skin properly ensures safe exfoliation and optimal results.
Recommended Pre-Treatment Guidelines
In the days leading up to your appointment, patients are typically advised to:
Avoid exfoliating products (retinoids, acids, scrubs) for 3–5 days
Avoid waxing or hair removal in the treatment area
Avoid sunburn or excessive sun exposure
Maintain gentle hydration
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin
Your provider may adjust these guidelines based on your skin type and routine.
Why These Steps Matter
Active ingredients and recent exfoliation can compromise the skin barrier, increasing the risk of irritation. Allowing the skin to normalize before dermaplaning ensures the treatment remains gentle and effective.
Post-Treatment Care: The First 24 Hours
The first day after dermaplaning is focused on protection and hydration.
Recommended Aftercare
Patients are advised to:
Avoid exfoliants or active ingredients
Apply broad-spectrum SPF daily
Use gentle, hydrating skincare only
Avoid excessive heat or sweating
While dermaplaning has no downtime, protecting the skin ensures results last longer.
Ongoing Aftercare & Skin Maintenance
In the days following treatment, proper care helps maintain smooth texture and glow.
Best Practices
Continue daily SPF use
Maintain hydration with barrier-supportive products
Reintroduce active skincare gradually, if appropriate
Your provider may recommend professional skincare to enhance and maintain results.
What to Avoid Between Treatments
To protect the skin barrier and avoid over-exfoliation:
Avoid layering multiple exfoliation methods
Avoid frequent at-home scraping or dermaplaning tools
Avoid aggressive peels without professional guidance
Dermaplaning works best when it is the primary exfoliation method, not one of many.
