As a skincare professional, one of the best ways to stand out and elevate your client experience is by providing a professional dermaplaning aftercare guide. Dermaplaning is one of the most popular exfoliation treatments in the beauty industry, giving clients that ultra-smooth, glowing skin they love. But with that fresh glow comes a responsibility — clients need clear dermaplaning aftercare instructions to protect their results and avoid unnecessary irritation.
After a dermaplaning treatment, skin is more vulnerable. Without the right post-dermaplaning skincare routine, clients might experience sensitivity, breakouts, or even damage to their newly exfoliated skin. That’s why every esthetician should have a simple, easy-to-understand dermaplaning aftercare guide ready to hand out after each treatment.
When creating your own dermaplaning aftercare instructions, it’s best to keep things clear and concise. Clients appreciate bullet points or quick tips they can easily reference at home. Focus on what to avoid within the first 24-48 hours — no makeup, no exfoliants, no excessive heat or sun exposure — and highlight gentle skincare steps like hydrating moisturizers, cleansing without over-washing, and applying daily SPF.
After the initial healing window, remind your clients that hydration is key and that they can slowly return to active skincare ingredients like exfoliants or retinoids after about 3-5 days (depending on their skin sensitivity). The more proactive you are in giving them a clear roadmap for post-dermaplaning skincare, the more trust and loyalty you’ll build with your clients.
Of course, presentation matters just as much as the information itself. A professionally designed aftercare guide reflects the quality of your brand and shows clients that you care about every detail of their experience. Consider adding your brand colors, logo, and positive, friendly language that fits your style. Having multiple sizes of your aftercare cards can also be a game-changer — small enough to slip into a client’s bag or large enough to display in your treatment room or reception area.
