For a few days following dermabrasion or dermaplaning, your skin will look and feel like you’ve experienced a really bad sunburn. Swelling and crusting of the skin is to be expected. It may be uncomfortable to move the muscles of your face (talking, eating) and a soft diet will be best. The initial discomfort you feel should be helped with prescribed pain medication. Your doctor will also want you to apply an emollient-type ointment which will help your skin heal faster and keep it supple. Healing usually occurs within 10 days. The redness of the skin will fade in about four weeks.
