AYA Med Spa Pro Skin Tip: Don’t Ditch Your Creams for Oils
Oils work as emollients to help skin feel smoother and seal in hydration, but the reality is that oils are devoid of water so while they can help with conditioning, they technically cannot hydrate your skin. In order to get both hydration and moisturization, mix the oil into your usual day or night cream.

This popular add-on to our customized facials is loaded with benefits. Get the scoop on this skin-smoothing treatment provided by our licensed estheticians.
What is Dermaplaning?
A totally non-invasive exfoliating treatment that employs a special scalpel to remove peach fuzz and dead skin cells.
Dermaplaning Benefits
Painless and relaxing, this simple but effective treatment is loaded with skin-boosting benefits:
- Smoother, brighter skin after one treatment
- Complete, non-irritating skin exfoliation and “defuzzing” of facial hair
- Increases skin cells turnover, stimulating collagen
- Improves absorption of serums and skincare products
How to Prep for Dermaplaning Treatment
1. Stop use of exfoliants 5-7 days before treatment. This includes chemical versions like AHAs/BHAs, enzymes, and retinoids, as well as physical exfoliants like microbeads and scrubs.
2. Avoid hair removal for at least 2 weeks before dermaplaning. This includes waxing, shaving, and threading of the facial area.
Downtime and Post-Treatment Care
There is no recovery time for dermaplaning, just a few simple steps to follow after your treatment.
- Hydrate and moisturize your skin
- Avoid sun exposure for 72 hours and slather on SPF
- Hold off on exfoliating 1 week after treatment
