No.It is a myth that shaving or removing hair from your face will make it grow back differently.It’sscientifically proven that yourpeach fuzz(vellus hair)willNOTgrow back thicker or darker afterdermaplaning.DERMAFLASH LUXE+ removes hairfrom yourskin’s surface and does not affect the hair follicle in any way.(Learn more here.)

For best results, use DERMAFLASH LUXE+ once a week. Weekly use maintains smooth, fuzz-frees kin and is clinically proven to improve the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots over time.

No, it’s best to prep your skin with PREFLASH®. PREFLASH isn’t a daily face cleanser, it’s specially formulated to create the ideal canvas for sonic dermaplaning. PREFLASH removes surface oil and temporarily makes your skin feel tighter, allowing your device to glide easily for professional-quality exfoliation and peach fuzz removal.

After dermaplaning, skin can be more sensitive to UV exposure. We recommend avoiding direct sun exposure for 48–72 hours after using DERMAFLASH LUXE+. You can still go about your normal daily activities, but skip intense sun (like beach days) and wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ to protect freshly exfoliated skin.

It’s best to avoid strong exfoliating ingredients for 48-72 hours after using DERMAFLASH LUXE+. This includes prescription and over-the-counter retinoids, glycolic acid, and at-home peels. You can (and should!)use your favorite hydrating serum, cream or mask. Dermaplaning removes the barrier of dead skin and peach fuzz, so skincare will absorb more effectively.You can also use a gentle exfoliating toner such as Botanical Ketoacid Toner.

Your DERMAFLASH LUXE+ device has 2 sonic speeds:  

• Gentle: Ideal for beginners and those with sensitive skin 
• Invigorating: Ideal for those who want deeper exfoliation  

Both speeds effectively remove peach fuzz and deliver professional-quality exfoliation.  

Yes, the DERMAFLASH LUXE+Sonic Dermaplaning device is safe for sensitive skin. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend starting with the “Gentle” sonic speed setting.

• Place the device on the charging base (silver side down) until it clicks 
• Connect the USB cable to a charging block and power source 
• Charge overnight for a full charge

In many cases, brands only perform what’s known as “consumer perception” tests, where subjects rate a product’s results or efficacy from their own point of view…literally “IMO.” We conduct those tests (because we love our customers),but we also commission multiple independent lab studies that use scientific instruments to evaluate results (aka an “instrumental analysis”).We’re committed to delivering real, measurable results with full transparency—and to giving you the smooth, radiant skin you deserve.

DERMAPORE+ has 2 modes:  

Extract mode uses Ultrasonic + Ionic Technology to gently loosen and remove dirt, oil and debris—instantly unclogging pores and blackheads with no pain or irritation. 

Infuse mode improves penetration of active ingredients in your favorite skincare products.

PREP MIST is a decongesting face mist that’s specially formulated to optimize pore extraction results. It soften spore-clogging debris (making it easier to remove) and works synergistically with your device. PREP MIST has a negative ionic charge and the DERMAPORE+ spatula has a positive ionic charge. Together, they act like a“magnet”to draw out dirt, oil and debris trapped in pores. Restock PREP MIST here! 

We recommend always using the included PREP MIST with your DERMAPORE+ device. PREP MIST works like a “facial steamer in a bottle” to soften clogs and prep skin for easy extractions. However, if you run out of PREP MIST, you can use water and/or a facial steamer as a substitute.Make sure your skin stays wet the entire time!

DERMAPORE+ Extract mode is safe and gentle enough to use every day or as needed to keep pores clear. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, we recommend using it once a week until your skin adjusts. Infuse mode can be used daily or as needed.

No, DERMAPORE+ will not enlarge your pores. In fact, DERMAPORE+ is clinically proven to reduce the look of pores. In an independent lab study using scientific instruments, 97% of testers had a significant reduction in pore size after one use.  

When pores are clogged with dirt, oil and debris, the walls of the pore stretch out and appear larger. When you remove pore-clogging debris, pores appear smaller.  

DERMAPORE+ is safe to use on clogged pores and blackheads, but it should NOT be used on active or inflamed acne, open blemishes, or skin that’s irritated or healing. Always consult your dermatologist if you’re unsure.

When you’re using Extract mode, always mist your skin with PREP MIST first for easy extractions. Follow with Botanical Ketoacid Toner to maximize pore-clearing results. 

When you’re using Infuse mode, you can apply your favorite hydrating skincare products (serums, moisturizer and masks). 

To charge DERMAPORE+: 

• Insert the charging pin into the side of the device 
• Connect the USB cable to a charging block and power source 
• Charge for at least 90 minutes 

A pulsing white light indicates charging, and a steady white light means the device is fully charged.

In Extract mode, hold your device at a 45° angle, with the tip of the spatula pointing down.Use your other hand to gently pull skin taut and glide the tip of the spatula over clog-prone areas(nose, chin, forehead). In Infuse mode, flip your device over so the flat part of the spatula is resting against your skin. Always make sure your fingertips maintain contact with the silver strip (this allows the Ionic Technology to function).

If you are pregnant or nursing, DO NOT use DERMAPORE+ without consulting with your doctor. Additionally, do not use DERMAPORE+ if you have serious allergies, infected skin, a heart condition, or have a pacemaker or other electrical medical device. Please see the user manual for more detailed information.

Yes. PREFLASH Cleanser is the essential first step to prepare your skin for professional-quality exfoliation and peach fuzz removal. PREFLASH is specially formulated to remove surface oil and temporarily make your skin feel tighter, creating the ideal canvas for sonic dermaplaning.

We do not recommend using PREFLASH Cleanser every day. Using PREFLASH every day could potentially dry out your skin.(Don’t worry—using it weekly as part of your sonic dermaplaning routine will not dry out or irritate your skin.)

You cannot buy MicroFine Edges™ separately. PREFLASH Cleanser is an essential step to prepare your skin for optimal exfoliation and peach fuzz removal. For this reason, your LUXE+ Refill Kit includes both PREFLASH andMicroFineEdges.

No, you should never reuse a MicroFine Edge. Used Edges can harbor bacteria. Always insert a fresh Edge every time you use your DERMAFLASH LUXE+ device.

If you reuse an old MicroFine Edge, you could inadvertently transfer bacteria to your skin. For best results, use a fresh Edge every time.

Our proprietary MicroFine Edges are custom-engineered to deliver maximum protection for your skin. Unlike risky disposable razors, MicroFineEdges have a patented Safety Cage that’s designed to prevent nicks, cuts and scrapes.In addition, the sonic technology allows the device to glide smoothly over the surface of your skin without skipping, pulling or tugging.

Over-exfoliating or using harsh exfoliating methods may disrupt your skin barrier and microbiome (the protective layer and ecosystem of beneficial microorganisms on your skin). DERMAFLASH LUXE+Sonic Dermaplaning is a gentle form of exfoliation that only needs to be done once a week—making it ideal for those who want to remove peach fuzz and dead skin cells without compromising the skin’s microbiome.
