I had dermaplaning done on Thursday afternoon. So 3 days ago now. I’ve broken out (but I wouldn’t describe these as acne spots or pimples at all) in red bumps all over my face. Tried to show pics here of each cheek.
Thursday after the treatment was fine, went to bed with that nice glow (I’ve had dermaplaning a few times before but not for a few months and always had no issue). This rash appeared when I woke up on Friday. I assumed an allergic reaction to something she’d used (had it done professionally by a reputable beautician who I have used before so I don’t doubt her hygiene protocols etc at all) so I have been taking daily antihistamines since then and haven’t worn make up or used any actives on my face.
I’m hoping this is just an adverse reaction to maybe over exfoliating as I hadn’t dermaplaned for a while, but I really just want to know if anyone has any tips on what to do or advice as to how long this may take to go away? It feels as if I have these little bumps absolutely everywhere - my entire face and under my chin / on my neck. so everywhere that was treated basically.
I do think the redness has gone down a bit and I know the photos may not look that bad, but the texture of my face is suddenly awful and I had such clear smooth skin before - the bumps are absolutely everywhere and I daren’t wear make up or anything. I only wanted to get rid of hair but I shan’t be doing it again! I am mortified and really upset! Any advice is welcome - thanks so much in advance…
