DERMaplaning faq
What are contraindications for dermaplaning?
You are not a candidate for a dermaplane treatment if:
- You used Acutane in the last year
- You received botox in the in the last week
- You are a diabetic
- You have a viral infection
- You are on a blood thinner (Ex. Aspirin)
- You are prone to keloids or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- You have a sunburn or windburn
- You have Grade 3 Acne or above
- You are undergoing treatment for cancer
- You are using retinol/Retin-A (stop at least a week before your dermaplane)
Once the vellus hair is removed will it grow back thicker?
No, this is physiologically impossible. The soft, fine vellus hair will grow back slowly – usually in about 4 weeks.
(There are two types of hair that grow on our bodies: Vellus hair is the thin, fine, soft hair that typically covers the entire body. Terminal hair is the course hair that grows on the head, face in men, underarms, legs and pubic areas.)
Dermaplaning, waxing, tweezing or any other depilatory form of hair removal cannot alter the type of hair grown in any given area.
How often can I get dermaplaned?
Every 3-4 weeks
Is there any downtime afterwards?
No, that’s one of the benefits. The skin instantly has a healthier glow and feels amazingly soft, plus makeup glides on effortlessly for a flawless finish. This is a must have procedure before an important social event or television appearance.
Can men get dermaplaned?
Yes they can, but only non-bearded areas can be dermaplaned.
How do I take care of my skin after dermaplaning?
- Avoid sun exposure as much as possible
- Hydrate more often than normal
- Do not use retinol one week pre and post dermaplaning
- Makeup can be irritating right after dermaplaning
- Use a gentle cleanser. Don't use abrasive cleanser, Clarisonic, or hot shower water for 48 hours afterwards
- Do not use cleansers, serums, or spot treatments containing retinol, salicylic acid, or benzoyl peroxide for 5 days following treatment
- No exfoliating products for a few days
- Avoid excessive heat (steamy showers, sauna) for 24-48 hours afterwards

These products and statements have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any disease. Always check with your physician before starting a new ingestible product. The Cannabidiol (CBD) in these products is a natural constituent of industrial hemp plant and grown in the United States of America. Color Up does not sell or distribute any products that are in violation of the United States Controlled Substances Act (US CSA). Most work-place drug screens and tests target delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and do not detect the presence of Cannabidiol (CBD) or other legal natural hemp based constituents. Even though our products contain less than .3% THC by dry weight (Federal Legal Limit), studies have shown that ingesting Full Spectrum CBD can cause confirmed positive results when screening urine and blood specimens. Accordingly, if you are subject to any form of employment drug testing or screening, we recommend (as does the United States Armed Services) that you do not take our FULL SPECTRUM products. Our “pure” or pure CBD products are an isolated cannabinoid and do not contain any THC (0.00%). If you are subject to drug screenings you should only use our pure CBD products.
