5 Dermaplaning Hacks for a Smooth & Flawless Flash

5 Dermaplaning Hacks for a Smooth & Flawless Flash
Go Back

You already know that sonic dermaplaning delivers real, visible results—smoother skin texture, a fuzz-free glow, and skincare that actually sinks in. But like any professional-grade tool, LUXE+ Sonic Dermaplaning works best if you use the proper technique. Don’t stress—it’s simple! These five hacks will help you get spa quality dermaplaning results at home. 

 1. Always Start with PREFLASH® Cleanser 

This might seem like it’s optional, but it's actually the foundation for a flawless Flash. PREFLASH® is specifically formulated to remove surface oil and create the ideal canvas for dermaplaning. Why does that matter? Your device needs to glide against clean, dry skin (not a film of oil or residual moisturizer) to work its magic. The reason is that vellus hair (aka peach fuzz) is fine and cottony, and if it’s “stuck” to your skin because of excess oil or residual moisturizer, you won’t be able to remove it as well. Cleanse, then pat your skin completely dry. The drier your skin, the better your results. Now you’re ready to Flash! Bonus: PREFLASH also contains Willow Bark and Niacinamide to soothe and protect while it preps. 

 2. Load a Fresh MicroFine Edge™ Every Single Time 

Using a fresh Edge with every Flash isn't just about performance—it's about protecting your skin. A used Edge can reintroduce bacteria to freshly exfoliated skin, which is exactly what you don't want. Think of it this way: you wouldn't eat dinner off last week's unwashed plate. Your skin deserves the same standard. Load a fresh Edge, every time—no exceptions. (Need to stock up? Right this way!) 

 3. Choose Your Sonic Speed Intentionally 

LUXE+ gives you two sonic speeds, which both actively boost microcirculation, helping to support collagen production and giving your skin a lit-from-within glow.

  • Press 1X for a gentle glide—ideal for sensitive skin, first-timers, or anyone easing back in after a break.
  • Press 2X for an invigorating treatment when your skin can handle deeper exfoliation.  

Pay attention to how your skin responds and choose your speed accordingly. Both deliver fuzz-free results—it's just a matter of what your skin needs that day. 

 4. Use short, feathery strokes 

If there's one technique tip that makes the biggest difference, it's this: short, feathery strokes. There's no need to drag or press firmly. Let the sonic vibration and the MicroFine Edge do the work while you guide the device in light, quick passes. You can move in any direction—up, down, diagonal—so always work with the contours of your face naturally. Just be sure to avoid your lips, nose, and the delicate skin around your eyes. Also, make sure to hold your skin taut with your free hand as you go. That gentle tension helps the Edge glide cleanly and evenly. You'll see (and feel) the difference immediately. 

 5. Finish with HYDRAFLASH Active Cocooning Serum 

Freshly Flashed skin is primed for absorption. With the outermost layer of dead skin cells and peach fuzz removed, your skincare can penetrate more efficiently—or in other works, sink in better and actually do its job. HYDRAFLASH Active Cocooning Serum is formulated with a Smart Pentapeptide, Hyaluronic Acid, Mediterranean Lavender, and Prebiotics + Probiotics. It wraps skin in instant hydration while delivering targeted smoothing, firming, and brightening actives. Apply it right after you Flash and let your skin drink it in. It's clinically proven to deliver immediate improvement in moisture—and over time, it helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and radiance. 

The Bottom Line 

Great results aren't just about a great device—they're about using it right. LUXE+ is clinically proven to deliver smoother texture after just one use, with measurable improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots after four weeks. These five steps are how you make sure you're getting every bit of that. Flash once a week, follow the ritual, and your smoothest skin is waiting.
