Downtime is minimal; skin may be slightly pink or sensitive for 24–48 hours. Avoid sun exposure and use SPF, and skip harsh exfoliants for a few days. Most clients can resume makeup and normal activities immediately.

Yes — dermaplaning pairs well with many facials and light chemical peels to enhance product penetration and results. Stronger peels may be scheduled separately. Your provider will recommend compatible combinations and timing for optimal safety and outcome.
