How long after Microneedling (SkinPen) do I have to wait before I can have Dermaplaning (by a professional) done?

Question

Thank you for your question! You would want to wait at list 2 weeks, because you want your face to heel  and flake the scab that Micro-needling develops on its own. You do not want to over sensitize your skin from over stimulation. Then you will have other problems with your skin like contact dermatitis or Rosacea if do not let it heel properly. You also want to make sure you use an SPF 45 or above. I hope this helps you. Thank you

It is recommended to wait a minimum of two weeks post microneedling session before dermaplaning or any type of facial to make sure that your skin is fully healed.

The two can actually be done the same day with dermaplaning first followed by microneedling. If you want to do it on separate days, I would wait at least a week after microneedling to do dermaplaning. Good luck!
