How long after CO2 laser can I get a facial with dermaplaning?

Question

I'd like to get rid of the peach fuzz that makes my makeup look cakey, but I don't want to damage my skin if it's still too soon post laser treatment. I had it done in February.

Great question. My best advice is to consult with your provider who knows your skin and the type of treatment you received. Resuming at home skin care usage and in-office procedures is determined by the type of laser used, the level of treatment received and truly how your skin feels. Typically, it is safe to resume at home skin care products as well as in office facials, including dermaplaning, about 7-10 days post superficial laser resurfacing, 10-14 days for more aggressive treatments and full ablative resurfacing under general anesthesia may take 4-6 weeks.

To better understand your skin care needs and concerns call our office and speak to our Medical Estheticians Kelly or Sasha. Each patients skin care needs vary and we like to customize our treatment plans based on individual concerns.

Being CO2 Laser is an invasive treatment, we advise waiting at least 2 weeks to do a dermaplaning treatment
