Sonic 1 Smooth Edition

[Jacinto Dieujuste]

It depends on the amount and severity of your acne. Do not use Sonicsmooth directly over a blemish. As long as you can safely avoid blemishes or raised areas, then it is perfectly fine to use Sonicsmooth.

Thankfully, sonic dermaplaning will not make your vellus facial hair (peach fuzz) grow thicker, coarser, darker, or faster. The Sonicsmooth expertly trims the hair at the surface and does not affect the root of the hair. As long as the device is used in the direction of the hair growth, your vellus hair will grow back at the same rate, thickness, and texture.

The journey to find your sonic identity as a musician and producer is one full of technical and engineering challenges. These obstacles ultimately disrupt your creative headspace and workflow.

Introducing the second in the series GGD Studio Cabs: Cali Oversized Edition. A deep dive into the legendary studio staple of our time, famed for its smooth top end, rich mid-range, and tight low-end. The perfect cab for heavily distorted guitar tones. Using a carefully curated selection of microphones and speakers we distilled all these sounds into an intuitive design, allowing you to make immediate changes in color with the freedom to mix, combine and blend tones, creating your own unique palette of sounds.

Besides exfoliating the skin and removing hair, dermaplaning also has mild wrinkle-reducing benefits, too. Sadick says that the scraping creates subclinical (microscopic) wounds in the skin. After you scrape, the "skin reacts by regulating certain growth factors, like fibroblasts and vascular, which in turn stimulate collagen production," Sadick says. This collagen production, in turn, plumps skin and smooths wrinkles.

What dermaplaning won't really help with, however, is acne, according to most of the dermatologists I spoke with for this story. Sadick did say dermaplaning can be great at removing blackheads and comedones because the exfoliation "unroofs blocked glandular structures." After sloughing away those, products like moisturizer and serum penetrate the skin better post-treatment.

As for the primary promised result? Supersmooth skin for days. "Dermaplaning produces immediate results of even skin texture and tone," adds Kerry Benjamin, an aesthetician and the founder of StackedSkincare spa in Los Angeles.

In an in-office setting, a straight-edge razor or a surgical #10 scalpel (it has a curved edge) is used by a licensed professional, such as a dermatologist, aesthetician, or a registered nurse at a medical spa, according to Benjamin. As mentioned earlier, the nonsurgical procedure involves no downtime. Dermaplaning sessions can cost anywhere from $40 to $150, depending on where you go.

Because we live in a DIY world, "more and more popular professional treatments are now moving over the counter so consumers can perform them themselves," says Joshua Zeichner, the director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. That now includes dermaplaning because many people can't find a qualified professional, the time for the treatment, or the cash to have it done, he adds. These days, a scalpel and an appointment aren't needed to try it out. Safe at-home devices with goofproof blades are now available that replicate the treatment (and are the ones I gave a whirl myself).

For this story, I worked with some trust in myself (because you can't hold a sharp object to your face and have little faith) and two different at-home dermaplaning devices. One of them, the Dermaflash Luxe, is available now. It costs $199 and comes with four single-use blades for four weeks of treatments. This was the far more techy-looking device of the two.

The other dermaplaner I tested was the StackedSkincare Dermaplaning Tool. This differs from the Dermaflash, which needs to be charged because it uses a subtle sonic vibration and a proprietary stainless steel edge, says Dara Levy, the founder of Dermaflash. "The sonic vibrations reduce friction and generate a pulse that resonates deep beneath the skin's surface," Levy explains. "They have the ability to cause muscles to contract 30 to 50 times per second, similar to a mini-workout. These contractions have the potential to increase circulation and bring oxygen and nutrients to the tissue, yielding a naturally healthy, rejuvenated glow." Both, however, have angled blades so they can be placed on the skin at a safe, effective angle for dermaplaning.

With the device in your dominant hand, work in small strokes going downward, starting on your cheekbones, with your other hand behind the blade pulling the skin taught. Continue until you have resurfaced the entire cheek and jaw. Repeat the light strokes on the chin, above the lips, and on the forehead. Benjamin advises, "Do not go over any facial area more than once or use on eyelids, eyebrows, hairlines, sides of nose, or lips."

While it was almost like a skin-brightening booster shot, the dermaplaning technique left me desiring (itching for?) more. Perhaps that's because of my admitted abundance of body hair, though. But again, Sadick assured me dermaplaning has nothing to do with hair. However, if you're interested in trying it at home, but scared of nicking yourself, I'd recommend splurging on the Dermaflash Luxe because of the multiple safety features built into the device. "We have an outer safety cage that elevates the blade just enough over the skin to avoid irritation and over-exfoliation," Levy explains.

If you're not eager to try it at all because putting a blade to your face isn't your thing or you're fine with the state of your peach fuzz, I don't blame you. You might as well just use a peel-off face mask and try threading instead.
