While dermaplaning is generally safe and effective, there are a few possible side effects to keep in mind. Some individuals may experience temporary redness, mild irritation, or increased sensitivity immediately following the treatment, which usually subsides within a few hours. Breakouts can occasionally occur, particularly if post-treatment care isn’t followed properly. Additionally, removing the top layer of skin increases sun sensitivity, making sunscreen essential to prevent sunburn or pigmentation issues. Following recommended pre- and post-care steps can help ensure a safe and beneficial dermaplaning experience.

Active Acne: Individuals with active, inflamed acne or cystic breakouts should avoid dermaplaning, as it can aggravate the skin and spread bacteria, worsening breakouts. Severe Rosacea or Eczema: Those with sensitive skin conditions, such as severe rosacea or eczema, may experience irritation or flare-ups from dermaplaning. Sunburn or Windburn: If the skin is sunburned, windburned, or otherwise damaged, dermaplaning may cause further irritation and delay healing. Recent Facial Treatments: People who have had chemical peels, laser treatments, or microdermabrasion in the past 2-4 weeks should wait until their skin has fully healed before trying dermaplaning. Active Skin Infections: Anyone with an active skin infection (such as cold sores or impetigo) should avoid dermaplaning, as it can spread the infection. Blood Clotting Disorders or Certain Medications: Those with blood clotting issues or on blood-thinning medications should avoid dermaplaning due to the minor risk of nicks or cuts.

Dermaplaning can be done every 4–6 weeks, depending on your skin’s needs and your skincare goals. Regular sessions can help maintain a consistently smooth and radiant complexion.
