# Can dermaplaning make skin more sensitive to the sun?

Yes, dermaplaning temporarily increases skin sensitivity to the sun. Here's the breakdown:

- **Fresh Skin:** Dermaplaning removes the outermost layer of skin, revealing a fresh, potentially more delicate surface.
- **UV Vulnerability:** This newly exposed skin is initially more susceptible to sun damage, including sunburn, hyperpigmentation, and premature aging.

**Rigorous sun protection is essential after dermaplaning:**

- **Sunscreen:** AIVI Aesthetics strongly recommends using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily, even on cloudy days.
- **Sun Avoidance:** Minimize direct sun exposure, especially during peak hours.
- **Protective Clothing:** Hats and sunglasses offer additional protection.
