Yes—dermaplaning is designed as an add-on to enhance facials. It pairs well with hydrating masks, chemical peels of appropriate strength, and targeted serums. Your esthetician will tailor combinations based on skin type and sensitivity for safe, effective results.

Avoid direct sun, exfoliating acids, and abrasive scrubs for at least 48 hours. Use gentle cleansers, rich moisturizers, and daily broad-spectrum SPF. Follow your esthetician's product recommendations to soothe skin and maximize the treatment's benefits.
