First, a little more about Dermaflash. The brand is focused on creating long-lasting, durable tools for your skin care concerns, and right now that means two products — a namesake peach-fuzz removing, skin-exfoliating dermaplaning device (a cult-favorite that you may have heard of before) and a pore-extracting and serum-infusing device called the Dermapore. During the process, I had to re-wet my face several times to make sure I wasn’t creating dry friction or being too abrasive on my skin. I also had a towel on hand to continually wipe the gunk off the tip of the spatula — that’s crucial to avoid potentially spreading bacteria around your face. Overall, I spent about 30 minutes doing my nose, chin, and forehead. I tried to do my cheeks, but couldn’t pull the skin taut enough to really accomplish anything — and since my skin is sensitive in that area, I didn’t want to inadvertently force a breakout.

My skin is usually okay but somewhat temperamental and hormonal. I’d say it’s mostly clear but frequently clogged around the T-Zone, and I’m not concerned about pimples so much as dullness. Occasionally, I end up with bigger whiteheads that are painful and slow to rise to the surface of my skin. It all began with DERMAFLASH, the at-home dermaplaning device and evolution of the widely popular dermaplaning treatment Levy featured in her luxury medspa in Chicago. Clinically proven and dermatologist tested, DERMAFLASH instantly reveals smooth, radiant, younger skin. There’s a reason why it’s called a skincare journey and not a ‘skincare errand.’ In the mess of ineffective exfoliators, cleansers, creams, and facial peels—we’re often kept waiting for results. DERMAFLASH® DERMAPORE Ultrasonic Pore Extractor Serum Infuser Icy Pink is a unique two-in-one ultrasonic skincare device that unclogs pores and infuses your favourite skincare products, resulting in the appearance of smaller pores and a clearer, healthier complexion.

My face feels so smooth after using DermaFlash Luxe ,” another reviewer detailed online. “The amount of peach fuzz and dead skin that came off was crazy. My makeup went on so smoothly after!”

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. When my Dermapore arrived, I ripped it out of the box like a bat out of hell and plugged it in to charge, so I could use it immediately. Besides charging the tool, your face should be wet during the extraction process. For this reason, I decided to set up shop while taking a bath. Step 1: Press the Power Button once to activate Extract Mode which is indicated by a steady vibration and white light.

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. Prep: Before using DERMAPORE, cleanse skin and remove make up. Be sure to keep skin wet throughout entire treatment.

In the days surrounding my period, I find myself having more whiteheads and painful, seemingly sebaceous bumps on my skin. Because they appear to be underneath the skin, my regular popping sprees often lead to scarring. I decided to use the Dermapore to get at these. I kept the device off and, simply using the sterility of the metal and the angle of the spatula, have been able to press out the puss without leaving behind the usual marks. The amount of stuff that came out of the pores in my nose was astounding, slightly disturbing, and impressive all at once. Unlike masks or chemical exfoliants, there is some real instant gratification in being able to see the bounty of your harvest. 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. 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?Step 6: Using the flat portion of the spatula, glide DERMAPORE over your serum or moisturiser. The ultrasonic vibration enhances penetration of the active ingredients in your skincare to help them work more effectively. Lightly massage any remaining product into you skin. Step 5: Press the Power Button twice to activate Infuse Mode which is indicated by a tapping vibration and blue light. It’s best to limit usage to once a week, before bedtime. “Nighttime is best so you can give the skin time to heal overnight, as well as avoid immediate sun exposure,” Madfes says. The latter is an electronically-charged, wireless tool that’s pretty easy to use: press the power button one time to put it into extraction mode and twice to put it into infusion mode. TBH, I haven’t focused on the serum-infusing technology just yet. But for the pore modality, I’ve dived right in. After a few weeks of use, this is my honest opinion of the Dermaflash Dermapore. After I was done, my skin was a little red and ever so slightly inflamed, but notably absent? The claw marks and peeled skin that commonly ensue after I go to town with my fingers.

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?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? 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. Step 3: After using DERMAPORE in Extract Mode, wipe device clean with alcohol or soap and water to prepare the device for use in Infuse Mode. We all have our beauty woes, right? For me, I’ve almost always felt like my pores look magnified—large, noticeable, gaping even. While I’ve fortunately never struggled with severe acne (just the occasional pimple and hormonal cystic chin zit here or there), I’ve long felt like my clogged pores could use some TLC–which is what drew me in toward the Dermaflash Dermapore pore extractor in the first place, and why its latest iteration (the Dermapore+) got me curious enough to try it.
