Health Benefits And Risks Of Dermaplaning

Skin Needs Extra Sun Protection Afterward

When the dermaplaning procedure is performed the skin needs extra sun protection afterward. The removal of the dead skin cells and the scraping during the procedure can lead the skin to be irritated and highly sensitive to the sun. Individuals who have this procedure done are encouraged to avoid exposing the skin to direct sunlight after the procedure. This recommendation extends to the avoidance of tanning beds and other instruments, which may cause the skin to be exposed to strong UV lights. It is also recommended for individuals who have dermaplaning to apply a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 to their skin on a daily basis for at least two weeks following the procedure.
