Dermaplaning

Dermaplane Facial is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves removing dead skin cells and fine hairs from the face using a scalpel. It is important to follow the above pre-care advice to prepare your skin for the treatment and minimize any potential risks or discomfort. By adhering to these guidelines and consulting with your aesthetician, you can ensure a safe and effective Dermaplane Facial experience at Naomi Waite Aesthetics.

• Avoid sun exposure: Clients should avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks before the Dermaplane Facial, as sunburn and excessive exposure to UV radiation can lead to skin damage and make the skin more sensitive to the treatment. If going outside is necessary, clients should wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 or wear a hat and protective clothing to shield the face.

• Avoid exfoliating products: Clients should stop using exfoliating products such as scrubs, acids, retinoids, and enzymes at least one week before the Dermaplane Facial, as these can irritate the skin and increase the risk of post-treatment complications such as redness, swelling, and peeling. 

• Avoid facial waxing: Clients should avoid facial waxing, threading, or depilatory products for at least one week before the Dermaplane Facial, as these can cause skin sensitivity, irritation, and damage. 

• Inform the aesthetician of any medical conditions: Clients should inform the aesthetician of any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or sensitivities that could affect the treatment process or outcomes. This includes conditions such as acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, and autoimmune disorders, as well as medications such as blood thinners, Accutane, and corticosteroids.

• Come to the appointment with a clean face: Clients should arrive at the appointment with a clean, makeup-free face, free of any oils, lotions, or serums. This will ensure that the Dermaplane Facial can be performed safely and effectively, without the risk of bacterial or product buildup. 

• Be prepared for slight discomfort: Clients should be aware that the Dermaplane Facial involves the use of a scalpel-like tool to remove the dead skin cells and fine hair from the surface of the skin. While the treatment is generally considered safe and painless, some clients may experience slight discomfort or tingling sensations during the process. 

• Plan for downtime: Clients should plan for some downtime after the Dermaplane Facial, as the skin may appear red, sensitive, or slightly swollen for a few hours to a day after the treatment. Clients should avoid direct sun exposure, hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after the treatment, and should avoid using any harsh or abrasive products on the skin for at least one week. 

• Follow post-care instructions: Clients should follow the post-care instructions provided by the aesthetician to ensure optimal healing, hydration, and nourishment of the skin after the Dermaplane Facial. This may include applying a soothing moisturizer, using a gentle cleanser, and avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasive products.

By following these pre-care instructions, you can ensure that you get the best possible results from your Dermaplane Facial at Naomi Waite Aesthetics.

Dermaplane facial is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a surgical scalpel to remove dead skin cells, vellus hair, and impurities from the surface of the skin. This treatment can improve the skin's texture, tone, and radiance, as well as enhance the penetration and efficacy of skincare products.

However, it is important to follow the after care advice provided by your aesthetician to ensure the best results and minimize the risk of complications. By following these simple steps, you can help your skin recover and maintain its healthy glow after a dermaplane facial at Naomi Waite Aesthetics.

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 24 hours after the treatment, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays and more prone to sunburn.

• Do not use any exfoliating products or scrubs, retinoids, or acids (such as glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acid) for at least 48 hours after the treatment, as they can irritate your skin and compromise the results.

• Avoid touching your face unnecessarily, as your hands may carry bacteria and cause breakouts or infections. If you need to cleanse or apply skincare products, use clean hands or a clean brush or cotton pad.

• Do not apply makeup or heavy skincare products for at least 24 hours after the treatment, as they can clog your pores and interfere with the natural healing process. If you need to wear makeup, use only mineral-based or non-comedogenic formulas.

• Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol, caffeine, and smoking, as they can dehydrate your skin and impair its ability to regenerate and heal.

• Apply a gentle moisturizer or soothing serum to your skin after the treatment, to help restore its natural moisture balance and soothe any redness or irritation. Look for products that contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, or chamomile extract.

• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day, regardless of the weather or your activities. UV rays can cause premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and even skin cancer, and your skin may be more vulnerable after a dermaplane facial.

• Follow the recommended frequency and duration of dermaplane facial treatments, which may vary depending on your skin type, age, and concerns. Generally, it is recommended to have a dermaplane facial every 4-6 weeks, for up to 6 sessions, to achieve optimal results and maintain the benefits.

• Consult with your aesthetician or dermatologist if you experience any unusual symptoms or reactions after a dermaplane facial, such as severe pain, swelling, itching, or infection. They can provide you with personalized advice and treatment options to address your concerns and ensure your safety and satisfaction.

Dermaplane Facial clients at Naomi Waite Aesthetics should take precautions to protect and nourish their skin after the treatment to ensure optimal results and avoid any negative side effects. By following these aftercare tips and seeking professional guidance, clients can achieve a smoother, brighter, and healthier complexion.
