Temporary Redness: Some individuals might notice temporary redness right after treatment. This usually diminishes within a few hours, although it can last up to a day. Risk of Infection: As with any skin-related service, there is a minor risk of infection if proper sterilization techniques are not followed. Make sure a qualified practitioner is handling your treatment.   Not Recommended for Active Acne: Dermaplaning is not suitable for individuals with active acne or cystic acne. The procedure could potentially spread bacteria across the face, exacerbating the condition. Short-Term Results: The results of dermaplaning are temporary. To maintain smooth, radiant skin, treatments need to be repeated every 3-4 weeks.
