After Care:
Avoid sun exposure for the next 24-48 hours. Protect your skin with a hat and use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher if you have to be outside. Do not use any exfoliating products on your skin for at least a week following the procedure. Avoid any skincare products with alpha-hydroxy acids, retinoids, or benzoyl peroxide for 24-48 hours. Do not wax, shave, or use any depilatory creams for at least a week after your dermaplaning session.
