DermaFlash is designed to be used once a week, to exfoliate facial skin. Although the exfoliating device can be used on a standalone basis, the manufacturer suggests combining the treatment with its Prep and Soothe creams. DermaFlash put a twist on this process to make it possible for consumers to perform dermaplaning at home. Further, the manufacturer aims to create a more unique product, by adding ultrasonic technology to the device. How to Use DermaFlash Once our device was fully charged, we washed our face with Prep. While you can use any facial cleanser with this device, it is recommended that you use Prep to thoroughly remove excess oil and dirt that might interfere with the exfoliation process.

Anyone can use DermaFlash products, so long as they’re above 18 years old. It’s also worth noting that men can also dermaplane as well. What Are The Benefits of DermaFlash-ing? The idea behind DermaFlash is very similar to dermaplaning. The latter is an exfoliation method used exclusively by skin care professionals to exfoliate the skin through physical removal of dead cells from the skin’s surface. In a final note left by the brand, DermaFlash states that it’ll continue to lift up its customers by offering their patented tools: “Dara Levy, our inventor and founder, believes that when you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good, there is absolutely nothing you can’t accomplish,” via a statement by the company’s LinkedIn. I have oily skin and am prone to clogged pores in my t-zone and chin – I’ve tried every clay mask and tool available but this is the only thing that works! I use a resurfacing mask and it unclogs my pores in a matter of seconds,” one customer wrote for the Dermapore tool. This isn’t the most convenient solution, especially for impatient users like Dara Levy. It wasn’t until she was introduced to the dermaplaning procedure that she uncovered real improvement.Yep! Those who’ve been under the knife (or a needle) are cleared to use DermaFlash products. If you have any doubts, it’s best to consult with a professional beforehand. What Age Range Are DermaFlash Products Suitable For? When using an at-home device like the Dermaflash, these have a safety mechanism to not cut too deeply," he explains. "The main risk is cutting the skin which can lead to infection, scarring, and dyspigmentation." Additionally, Dr. Rossi suggests avoiding at-home dermaplaning if you have active acne or rosacea as you can exacerbate these conditions and recommends seeing a board-certified dermatologist to discuss treatment options instead. Though it initially took some time familiarizing ourselves with the device, we definitely noticed a healthy glow to our skin afterwards. While Kaitlin saw an immediate difference in the amount of peach fuzz left on her skin, Joann from Marketing commented, “ My skin is definitely smoother and soft to the touch, but because I don’t have that much peach fuzz, I don’t see a visible difference in my jawline being more defined. ” In case you missed our Q&A with founder Dara Levy, DERMAFLASH is touted as the ONLY at-home exfoliation treatment designed to gently remove the outermost layer of the skin, including peach fuzz. Powered by a subtle sonic vibration, this device works like dermaplaning, which is a medical-grade exfoliating treatment available only at a doctor’s office or medical spa. DermaFlash-ing offers multiple benefits, including a smoother complexion, reduced wrinkles, elimination of acne scars, and so forth. The results aren’t exactly instantaneous, but users will see noticeable improvement within a month. Can I Only Use DermaFlash Products On My Face?

True to the product claims, DERMAFLASH does not hurt. It’s very gentle and almost feels like taking a comb to our face. On the other hand, if you’re new to this like we were, it might take some time getting used to. As Kaitlin from the Content team pointed out, “ This was a little more difficult to use than I had expected. I found it somewhat hard to get parts of my face at the right angle, while holding the skin tight enough to make it work. ”While we don’t think it’s quite necessary to use on a weekly basis (although that’s what the brand advises for long-term results) this might be something you want to use before a special occasion. As noted by Joann, “ I may use it before doing a full face of makeup for an event, since I heard it allows for a smoother makeup application. ” Additional Tips To power on our device, we simply had to hold the hummingbird button for two seconds. The hummingbird will illuminate once it’s on. Afterwards, we began gliding it over our skin in short, feathery-light strokes while holding our skin taut with our free hand. We recommend starting at the front of your ear at the cheekbone and then gliding the device along the contours of your face. Continue with the same strokes on the chin, below and above the lip and finish with the forehead. To perform dermaplaning, a skin expert can use a variety of specialty tools. However, many simply use a very sharp razor. The skin is exfoliated through gentle strokes that basically shave off dead skin and the associated “peach fuzz.” If done correctly and at the right angle, this treatment is very safe and does not pose significant danger of cutting or damaging the skin. By routinely performing dermaplaning treatments, the consumer can maintain their skin looking softer and tighter. It’s the same basic mechanism by which the lower half of men’s faces tends to remain wrinkle-free; the regular exfoliation through shaving every day for decades will keep the skin looking much smoother. Although you can totally do this by yourself, it doesn’t hurt to have a second pair of eyes (and in our case, hands) to help you get those hard-to-reach areas. As best explained by Kaitlin, “ If you have a friend willing to help you out, I would definitely recommend that. I wasn’t able to see some spots that I had missed as clearly as another set of eyes could. Just make sure you’re both comfortable with him/her holding a blade to your face.”

To see how it works across different skin tones, we asked two Dermstore team members to participate in this latest installment of “Dermstore Tries.” Here’s what happened:This eventually led to the creation of the DermaFlash tool that people can use at home. The company was born in 2015, and its headquarters are based in Chicago, Illinois. To start treatment, take the Prep cleanser to thoroughly wash the face and remove debris and excess oil. This DermaFlash cleanser contains ingredients like Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine, a surfactant that helps cleanse the skin by reducing the surface tension between water and oils.
