While some slight redness and sensitivity immediately after dermaplaning are normal, here’s what to do if irritation persists or worsens:
- Simplify Skincare: Stick to a bare-bones routine with a gentle cleanser, hydrating serum, soothing moisturizer, and sunscreen.
- Cool Compress: Apply a cool, damp washcloth to calm inflammation and reduce redness.
- Aloe Gel: Products containing aloe vera or hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid can provide additional relief.
- Pause Actives: Temporarily discontinue retinol, acids, or other potentially irritating products until your skin has healed.
- Contact AIVI Aesthetics: If irritation is severe, doesn’t improve within a few days, or you notice signs of infection, call your AIVI Aesthetics specialist for further guidance.
