I have 2 concerns. I had dermaplane treatment with waxing of my eyebrows and a day later had botox. The area where the botox was injected began to sting horribly for 48 hours but is subsiding slowly. My skin from the dermaplane is very sticky feeling, flaky and itchy. Did I do damage and was it okay to get botox so quickly after that treatment?

I always tell my patients, if a facial feels good for you to
relax, get it. If you are actually
trying to improve your skin in the long term, do Dermapen instead. You know when you go on a trip and you get a
facial, you glow that day, then go back to looking normal the day after. After...
Most light to medium depth chemical peels can be used after dermaplaning as long as your esthetician evaluates the skin making sure your a good candidate for both treatments. If you decide on dermaplaning prior to a chemical peel it will help the peel penetrate deeper into the skin.
Yes, dermabrasion is definitely okay to do on men, and yes you would need to shave the day of surgery. You cannot shave until you have healed after the procedure, though. A great benefit is to couple this with a CO2 laser/laser resurfacing. Check out our website at drkimberlyhenry.com for more...
