Dermaplaning FAQs

When it comes to Dermaplaning at Pia Day Spa, the good news is that you don't need any special medication for the treatment itself. However, there are a few important considerations regarding your current skincare routine and medications:

1. Strong Exfoliants and Treatments:

   • If you're using potent skincare products like Retin-A, Obagi, or other similar exfoliants and brightening treatments, it's crucial to pause their use.
   • We recommend stopping these products at least 3 days before your Dermaplaning appointment. This pause is necessary to reduce the risk of skin irritation or sensitivity during the treatment.

2. Medications like Accutane:

   • For those on strong medications such as Accutane, which significantly affects skin sensitivity and healing, a longer break might be necessary.
   • It's best to consult with your dermatologist or healthcare provider, as well as inform our estheticians about such medications.

3. General Skin Care:

   • Leading up to your Dermaplaning session, it's advisable to treat your skin gently. Avoid any harsh scrubs or chemical peels that might over-sensitize your skin.

4. Post-Treatment Care:

   • After Dermaplaning, your skin will be more receptive to skincare products. This is a great time to nourish it with gentle, hydrating products.
   • However, immediately after the treatment, it's best to avoid reintroducing strong exfoliants for a few days to allow your skin to settle.

5. Consultation for Personalized Advice:

   • Every skin type is unique, and so are the products and medications you might be using. We recommend a personalized consultation with our skilled estheticians at Pia Day Spa to tailor the best pre and post-treatment care for you.
