Can dermaplaning trigger breakouts?

Dermaplaning itself typically doesn’t directly cause breakouts. However, there are a few factors to consider:

  • Pre-Existing Acne: If you have active acne lesions, dermaplaning could potentially irritate them or spread bacteria. It’s best to address active breakouts at AIVI Aesthetics Agoura Hills before considering dermaplaning.
  • Post-Treatment Care: Proper aftercare is key. Clean tools, gentle skincare, and avoiding irritants can minimize breakout risk.
  • Increased Cell Turnover: Dermaplaning stimulates cell turnover, which can sometimes push impurities to the surface initially, leading to a temporary breakout.

Important Note: If you’re prone to breakouts, inform your AIVI Aesthetics specialist so they can take extra precautions and advise on a suitable aftercare routine.
