It’s best to avoid retinol, exfoliating acids (AHAs, BHAs, etc.), and other potentially irritating actives for several days after dermaplaning. Your skin needs time to heal and restore its barrier function.
Here’s a general timeline:
- 3-5 Days: Focus on gentle cleansing, hydration, and sun protection.
- After Initial Healing: Gradually reintroduce actives, starting with one product at a time and monitoring your skin’s response. Begin with a lower frequency than usual.
- Personalized Advice: Your AIVI Aesthetics skincare expert will provide specific guidance on when to resume your regular skincare products based on your individual skin type and treatment plan.
Always prioritize your skin’s recovery after dermaplaning! If any irritation occurs, stop using the product and contact AIVI Aesthetics for advice.
